Oldie And Not So Goodie

Archaeologists in western Japan have discovered what they say is the oldest remains of a melon ever found. The 2,100-year-old melon was nicely preserved because it was in a “vacuum-packed state” in a wet layer underground. Even though it was in such good condition, the researchers threw away because there was a sticker attached that said, “Best if used by June 24, 601.”
