A baby African elephant weighs 200 pounds and stands about 3 feet tall at birth. Asian elephants are slightly smaller, though not by much.
Whole spices can be kept longer --- for up to about four years for unopened containers; less for opened ones. One of the best ways to tell if your spices and herbs are too old is to open the container and smell the contents. Weak or no aroma means tasteless food. Old spices and herbs do not add flavor to your food.
Condiment packets are convenient, but how long do they last? Because of their high salt and acidity, not much can grow in ketchup, mustard or relish in a sealed packet. If they are kept in a cool place, they should last even longer. Heinz places the shelf life of condiment packets at 15 months to 2 years. By the time a consumer gets a condiment packet, it has already been manufactured, shipped to a warehouse, distributor, restaurant, and then sold to a diner, all before it finally lands in the bottom of the desk drawer.
