Only mention particular items, e.g., don't include ketchup unless you're talking about the same, unique bottle of ketchup.
I've got a 20+ -year bottle of pomegranate soda.

I'm beginning to wonder if my question is only relevant for people who live alone.
I've got lots of ancient condiments as well.

(77,623 posts)A bottle of grappa I bought in Italy around 2001 or 2002.
Really high end version of it. It was almost a hundred bucks then.
It's an extremely acquired taste & I don't drink much, so it's lasted a very long time.
Keeping it cold keeps the vapor pressure of the alcohol & volatile flavor components low.
Since it's been opened over 2 decades I figure keeping it cold maintains the flavor.
