How old is "old?"?

Person - This depends on how old you feel. I know some people in their early 30's who are old as the hills, already. You're as young as you feel!

Car - The minute you drive it off the lot. As soon as the next edition comes out, your vehicle is already a has-been.

Coat - Depends on what area of the country you live in. IE: In NYC, you are out of style within a year or two. But I personally moved from NYC to MPLS, and I could wear that coat for 3 more years, as NYC fashion had yet to hit MPLS. So by the time it hit, I was back in style. And another thing to remember, when it comes to fashion, what goes around...comes around again....eventually.

Can of beans - I would say about a year.

Bottle of beer - Have never had one in my house that lasted long enough to find out.

Bottle of unopened wine - See beer answer.

Bottle of opened wine - I personally think they turn to vinegar after about a week. And that is with proper storage. Maybe I just buy cheap wine. ;)

House - NEVER!! If you keep it up-to-date and take care of it, a house should last you a lifetime.

Dog - Depends on the breed. Larger dogs have shorter lives. My poor dog has only got an average lifespan of 9 years. He is currently 5, which would make him middle aged. But he's still pretty frisky!

Butterfly - 6 months and they are worm food.

Pound of hamburger - Frozen and well packaged, 6 mos. Covered in the refrigerator, a few days.

Television set - When walk thru the appliance store and notice all the tv sets are half as thin and three times lighter than the one at home in your entertainment center, you know it's time to trade up.

Movie - The classics never get old...and some of the new movies were old before they ever hit the big screen.

Sure, I'll have a slice of cake!

1. 50+ is usually considered old

2. Probably like after 5 or 10 years

3. A couple weeks

4. A couple months

5. Wine unopened can last a long time. It depends on the year and type. (my dad is a wine expert)

6. Just like above, as long as you put it in a celler

7. Maybe like 10+ years

8. I think a dog is considered old after 8 years

9. I don't know, never reallyu heard anything about it

10. 7 days

11. Ones from like the 50s

12. 3 years

I forgot the coat: but again, I don't really know

Hmm, good question. Congrats on the 500th. Let me take a stab at this.

Person = when you feel it.

Car = depends on when it becomes unreliable

Coat = when it is out of fashion and you care

Beans = 2 years

Beer = 1 year

Unopened wine = depends on varietal and vintage, but a good rule of thumb is 3 years for white and 6-8 for reds

Opened wine = if exposed to air the entire time, 4 hours, if the oxgen is mostly removed and its refrigerated, 7-10 days

House = 50 years

Dog = 8 years

Butterfly = 14 days

Hamburger = vacuum sealed and frozen, 1 year, not sealed an in the fridge, 7 days

TV = 5 years

Movie = when people don't watch it that much anymore (i.e. not "classic")

"Old" is relative. When youre a kid old is 21. When youre in your 20's old is 40. When youre 35 old is 50. When youre 50 old is 75. Get it? You can feel old at 30, you can feel young at 60.

Scary avatar picture!

Person - depends on how they act. Car - old when it falls apart. Coat - depends on its quality. Can of beans - when it passes the use by date. Beer - depends on the beer. Wine - depends on the wine. Opened wine - same but won't last as long as if unopened. House - when its not new. Butterfly - day days old. Pound of hamburger -the biggest I would eat is a quarter pounder, its old 1 hour after serving. TVset - any not digital. Movie - some are ageless, some are old before they are released even.

Car : rust appears despite average or above care

Coat : when despite how you shake it or wash it, it just doesn't seem right

Bottle of opened wine : no experience

House : the last person alive who worked on it - dies

Dog : when s/he begins sleeping noticeably more than they used to

Butterfly : when it dies

Pound of hamburger : 1 day

Television set : you notice the picture is different, and adjusting the settings doesn't help

Movie : was made before you became a teenager
