<pre>OK, time for a test!

There are no "correct" answers, (I think) but the answers will be
enlightening I hope.

How do people determine the "use by" or "best before" date they put on
the product?? (Oh, come on, you DO put one on that is more than
guesswork, don't you!)

Seriously, though, is there an easy, cost effective way to determine
the period of time a batch of marinated olives will last before
becoming a food time bomb?

Please tell me that there is, and then tell me how to do it.

Thanks
