NY Times Writeup: O.K., Does Anyone Remember If This Is Still Edible? Open anyone’s refrigerator and you will probably find some half-empty jars of food — whether pasta sauce or puréed carrots for the baby — that have been sitting there until they are too old to use. Or are they too old? Now there is a mini-device called Days Ago, a digital day counter that attaches to a container with either a magnet or a suction cup and keeps track of when the food was opened. Days Ago might also serve as a useful reminder of when a plant was last watered or when a bottle of medicine was started. A set of two of the devices is available for $10 from howmanydaysago.com (there is also a store locator on the site) or (559) 905-1672. See less

Highlights: $10.00 + s&h (for a pkg of 2)
