What foods never expire?

[Latrobe]

What are some foods that never go bad? I've heard before that honey never expires, and military M.R.E's last about 4-5 years I've read. What are other nutritious foods that have either a long expiration date or none at all?

I've heard before that honey never expires,

Only certain types of honey don't expire.
I've seen pictures of Canadian MRE's with big stickers across the top that say 'The honey in this pack is not for human consumption' because apparently they haven't made new MRE's in a long time and the honey's gone bad.

I still don't know if that was just a joke they used for the show, or if twinkies really do last forever. Can anyone confirm this?

25 day most shelf life I heard on a website. All the nuclear and never expiring is urban myth... sorry mate

Dehydrated or dry food will always last a long time, as long as it's not exposed to too much oxygen.  Rice is a good food for long-term storage.  I've got some in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers in the bag, as long as I keep the bags in decent condition, that food will easily last a decade, but probably much much longer.

just pretend it is food, and you'll be fine

It's all mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

I've heard that, but there's no nutrition in sugar. So, using it to try and survive off of isn't the best thing.

Are you just curious or are you considering some long-term food storage?

A little of both. If I can find the space for it, then I'd like to do some long-term food storage for those emergency situations.
