I've heard it's because people in their 20's don't join social groups.

Sort of related... I've wondered what is to stop a person re-cooking pasta after it has been cooked once and dried out again. WHat's to stop someone boiling again and eating it?

I don't imagine there is such a way to re-hydrate bread though.

Yeah but Dickyb0b how does bread know how to read the date on the 'Best Before' label so it knows when to go stale?

They have developed a sarnie that doesnt go stale / mouldy for months which the army could use as rations. Might be worth a google if interested as they explain why it goes stale and how they stop it happening.

I have always found bread best before dates to be useless

Often bread will last a lot longer than the best before date. A bit like eggs.
