So the market is selling 1liter Pepsi 2/ $1 but the catch appears to be the expiration date is May 14th.
50 cents for a 1 liter Pepsi sounds like a good deal. How “expired” is expired if we are talking about soda?

- Start date
You're usually good for about 3 months past the date of expiry for most fizzy drinks, so you'll be fine.
That's not an expiry date, it's a best by date. which is not an indicator of whether the item is safe for consumption, It is an indicator for what the producer expects the item to taste its absolute best up until - And in fact, is hardly even an indicator of that, as the motivation of capitalism ensures perfectly good items get thrown from your home or the store so more can be put on the shelves or rebought.
For the record, pretty much ALL food is like that. Only baby formula is required by law to have a certified tested expiry date (in the USA.) We don't have any idea how companies establish best by dates.

I can't find it now, but I swear there was a recent youtube vid where someone cracked one open and drank it.

You'll be fine.

Ngl I picked up some Christmas coke at the bodega last weekend
I've drunk sodas that are a couple years past the best-by date, it's fine. Worst that's happened is they've gone flat.
(I don't drink soda that often but I still buy it for whenever I get the urge to have some so that's why I've done this)

It has probably not lost any carbonation. It can still last several months to a year past that date especially when refrigerated and even more so if it is a non-diet version. Sugar is a preservative.
My great great aunt some from 1994 in like 2002. Old school white cans like in Terminator 2 and everything.
......Just remember to boil it first.
Wut?
Edit: It's from Clickhole. How dare you?
Tbf even if you do boil it, Pepsi is still unfit for human consumption.
Expiration dates printed on things in store are not accurate to the actual shelf life.
Been using it to boil rice for years, way ahead of the curve.Just remember to boil it first.
I drank 8 month old bottled stuff from the back of a stockroom, taste was a bit off. Canned stuff probably holds together longer.
once i saw a slim jim for sale at a grocery store that was about 10 months past the date. it was almost black as licorice.
no i did not eat it. probably would have broken a tooth or lose some of my colon.

Maybe less fizz reasonably past expiration would be about it.
I say go for it. Get that 50 cent deal.

I haven't seen that one, but I saw the LA Beast crystal Pepsi videos.
Sealed soda is extremely inhospitable to any microbes.
Even past its expiration date, it shouldn't pose any health risk (at least, not for a long time) though it might lose carbonation and develop some off flavors.
If you're anywhere close to the expiration date, you'll be fine.

I miss Faygo 3 liters with the bottles having a big ass mouth, they down sized some time ago to 2.5 and it wasn't the same and now I'm not even sure if they have bottles larger than 2 liters anymore.
