Clearing out my mums house as she’s moving and weve found a massive tub of sudocrem. Expiry date is jul 1991 🤣 it’s still got a tiny scrape in it. Given I was born in July 91 and she said she used that tub for all 4 of us it’s a miracle it wasn’t used up entirely.

We also found some birds eye custard in my Nanas cupboard when she died that was exp 1970 so that probably wins! Tell me what the best expiry date you’ve found :)

I wonder how the company that makes Sudocrem can ever make a profit given that one pot seems to last pretty much forever. I can't rival your 1991 version but my 16 year old pot is still going strong. I'm not sure what the purpose of the expiry date is as it still seems as good as new.
