Turkey today, Turkey tomorrow, Turkey in July.

Friday night I went shopping and bought some Oscar Mayer shaved turkey. That's Friday April 8th. The 'Sell by:' date on the package was JUL 4 2005. Doesn't that seem a bit wrong? According to healthlink.com "Turkey will keep 3-4 days in refrigerator." I know they have to at least add some preservatives with shipping time and everything, but should it really last nearly 3 months? Yum.
