Stale Crackers? Call the Health Department!

In today's local paper: a customer went into a grocery store and purchased a package of potato chips and noticed that they were beyond the expiration date. Instead of taking them back or chucking them into the bin, he called the municipal health department. After the investigation (how tough could that have been?), the health department closed the store and fined the owners Dhs5,000 (about $1,400). I'd hate to think what the consequences would be if you sold a flat Coke!
