[UK] Truss premiership shorter than the lifespan of a yoghurt

Liz Truss has resigned as UK prime minister after just 45 turbulent days in office. MoneyTransfers.com has outlined 8 things the former prime minister failed to outlast. And a couple that she did.

Liz Truss’s resignation makes her the shortest-serving PM in recent history and brings to light some other interesting statistics about what lasts longer than 45 days, on average.

For instance, a bottle of champagne can stay unopened for up to two years, while a block of cheese can last up to six months.

So far, the current government has outlived a carton of eggs (three weeks) and a bunch of bananas (four days). We’ll have to wait and see how long the new administration lasts but one thing is for sure: it won’t be as long as a stick of gum!

Things the Government didn’t outlast:

1. A bottle of unopened champagne - average lifespan 2 years
2. A block of cheese - average lifespan 6 months
3. A can of soup - average lifespan 2 years
4. A jar of peanut butter - average lifespan of 3-4 months
5. A box of cereal - average lifespan - 3 months
6. A container of yoghurt - average lifespan of 2 months (if frozen)
7. A package of bacon - average lifespan 2 months (if frozen)
8. A stick of gum - average lifespan - up to 1000 years

Two things Liz Truss outlasted:

1. A box of eggs
2. A bunch of bananas

Steve Rose - CEO of MoneyTransfers.com - said, "Whilst this news will be unsurprising to many, and markets have rebounded in the wake of the news of Liz Truss' resignation, it does suggest the public might have more luck putting their faith into perishables than politicians - particularly when looking for any long-term economic stability (or at least knowing they can make a flatbread)."
