Amid coronavirus pandemic, as majority of countries are under lockdown, many people are using their time cleaning and organising their closets, cupboards and even getting rid of the things they haven’t been using for a long time. In one such bizarre incident, a Twitter user claimed that his mother found a 25-year-old pastry lying at the bottom of a freezer. While the pastry was 25 years old, the mother still said that the pastry was edible.
One of the advantages of the lockdown is that the mother is finally getting to the bottom of her giant chest freezer.

In a series of tweets, Michael Patrick shared pictures of the packet and even a video in which his mother could be seen eating the pastry. In one the tweet Patrick said that the pastry was still good to eat after 25-years and his mother was planning on making some kind of ‘apple dessert thingy’ from it.
For everyone following the puff pastry saga - the mother insists it's still good to eat.

She's planning on making "some kind of apple dessert thingy"
Additional information about the pastry - it's older than both of my younger siblings (April 95 & June 97)
In the video, one can see the mother eating the 25-year-old pastry and saying it is still crispy and delicious. The mother can be seen devouring the oven-baked pastry and saying that it is still good.

‘Brilliant’
Meanwhile, several internet users also reacted to the video. While some shared their own decades-old groceries that got forgotten in their freezer, others pored love for the mother and called it ‘brilliant’. One internet user wrote, “HAHA I love her. Living for this thread”. Another said, “Let us know in 24-48 hours how that turned out”.
i love this haha. the world has changed a lot in the last 25 years. they say "if only walls could talk" yeah well, if only pastry could listen.

I think that if you all survive this your entire household should be allowed out of any lockdown restrictions immediately because nothing is going to kill any of you
