Bought some extra virgin olive oil some years ago. It wasn't brilliant,
didn't get used very much, and eventually got abandoned in favour of a
better one. Still have two 1l bottles in the garage, long way past the
use-by date, and it's got even worse with age - now smells rather like
oil based gloss paint. (I'm dubious about contamination from the plastic
bottles - only by it in glass bottles now.) Can anyone think of anything
useful to do with it which doesn't involve eating it (or smelling it)?
What about hearing it ?
Does putting it in your ear count ;-?
They used to put warm oil in the ear to soften wax. In fact you had to
buy it from the chemist.
Simon.
I wouldn't put dodgy smelling old olive oil in my ear, but I have put
nice fresh olive oil in there when I needed to clear out wax.
Or you can use Almond Oil if you prefer ..again new stuff!
