Flight attendant told me my Diet Coke doesn’t expire until the year 2425

So I was on a Spirit flight earlier today and bought a Diet Coke mid-flight. I poured it into the cup and immediately noticed it tasted weird — like kinda flat and off. So I checked the bottom of the can and saw the best-by date: MAR2425. I called the flight attendant over and let him know it was expired (since today’s April 25, 2025), and he looks at the can for like a full minute… then goes, “This isn’t expired. It says 2425 — as in the year 2425. You’ve got so many years left.” Dude really thought my Diet Coke was good for another 400 years. Anyway, after we landed I mentioned it to the staff by the gate and they just looked at me like I was crazy and said “we can’t do anything about that.” Not even a “sorry” or “we’ll make a note.” I’m not mad, I just think it’s hilarious that someone thought soda could survive the next four centuries. submitted by /u/Sufficient_Lunch6569 to r/mildlyinfuriating [link] [comments]
