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.
Vinegar-based condiments, such as mustard, relish and horseradish, keep for 12 months or until the expiration date in unopened jars in the pantry. An open mustard container can still keep for 12 months if you store it in the refrigerator, but it can spoil within one month if you keep it at room temperature.
