  1. That milk you just bought? It’s going to expire soon.
  1. There will be a time where it becomes no longer feasible for you to light a candle on your birthday cake for every year older you’re turning. It’ll be nothing but candles shaped like numbers for you because anything else will be a fire hazard.
