Fernie left work early on Monday, missing most of the Morning Show, claiming to be sick, and headed to the doctor. He was still feeling under the weather on Tuesday, and stayed home, blaming his illness on his consumption of expired hot dogs.

On Monday evening, Fernie posted a photo of the offending hot dogs on Facebook, with the caption "FML.... I ate these hot dogs and now I'm dying..." The hot dog package in the photo has an expiration date of June 19, 2015.

Now while we're not accusing Fernie of not actually being ill or doubting his claims that expired hot dogs are to blame, we did find this chart on a site that lists how long past the expiration date you can eat various foods by:
