Expired / Spoiled Food Experiences -

[Pickle Dick]

You ever had a day when your refrigerator stops working properly, you grab some milk from it and try to pour it out, only for what looks like goo to seep out from the jug?

This is the thread to discuss experiences like that, or just about expired food in general.

I had somebody give me one of those mini milk jugs from their fridge when I asked if I could have one. Didn't check the date.

Got outside and cracked 'er open to take a swig...thick like mucus and full of chunks.

Didn't puke but came close.

I guess I didn't seal my cheese package up properly yesterday cause when I went to grab a slice earlier today it had a moldy spot on it.
And I just bought that package too.

 

[Idiot savant]

the fridge was broken, just above putrefaction temperature. the milk had chunks! i drink straight from the bottle btw.

I bought flan once that was well in date. Both cups were sealed. They were in the refrigerator. One cup was good. The other was rancid.

Reminds me of when I brought my school chocolate milk home with me and it was pretty damn hot. Like in the 90s. Bear in mind I took third bus so I had to wait like half an hour, sometimes more. Unless it was raining, snowing or really cold they made us wait outside. Then I had to walk a good distance home from the bus stop. Add that to it being in my bag since 10am.

It was far from pleasant. Far from pleasant...

Ever seen a salad turn into black liquid?

I did when I checked my brother's roommate fridge a few months ago.

Hm. I used to live in a homeless shelter for about two years. Most of the food was donated by Starbucks, but every now and again we'd get donations from ordinary people. I remember one donation we got of sealed food, like prepackaged sandwiches kinda deal, and we set them up for lunch service. Every single packet was at minimum 6 months out of date, with the oldest being nearly a year old.

I get that homeless shelters aren't popular, but that was a dick move. Half of the residents were sick and a few elderly residents needed to be hospitalized. Pretty dick move.

Imagine living on a Navy vessel if you will, served only the finest Grade D meats that American Fiat debt notes can buy. Now imagine the Navy's culinary Kings trying to make Shrimp scampi, failing, and an entire ship paying for it underway.

Yesterday I ate a package of Greek yoghurt that expired 13 months ago. My nose told me it was safe so I went in and it was surprisingly okay. Maybe a little less sharp but no spoilage.

First time I got food poisoning I woke up from a deep sleep and started walking toward the bathroom without thinking, three feet from the door I puked and it hit the door level with my face.
My first conscious thought was "So that's why it's called projectile vomiting".

Those single serving guacamole cups have a surprisingly short life, but will look and taste fine months after their use by date. I was sick 30 minutes after eating one with a breakfast burrito.

One morning as a kid I woke up and took a slice of bread straight from the package and started chewing on it. I then open my eyes to realize it had mold on it.

From then on I've always been super paranoid and will throw out things that are past their best buy date, only recently did I realize that that's wasteful as products like Yogurt usually are still good if they haven't been opened.

When I was a kid I put a boiled egg in my backpack and completely forgot it was there for a few weeks. Then one day it smashed.

There was also a situation at work one time where some fucktard left spinach greens, a salmon fillet, and some other shit in the lower deli drawer of the fridge and for whatever reason never came back for it. Months passed and it became an amalgam of black sludge and rotten fish.

I give you horrifying rating not because of the chunks, but because you drink from the bottle like a savage. You deserved chunks you fucking monster.

I used to have a bad habit of creating mug graveyards where I just set my mugs down and forgot about it. It was especially bad in the summer when my bedroom was an oven. Had to spoon the hugely thick layer of mold off the top which always came off in one big convenient chunk before I dumped the rest down the drain. Surprised they never smelled. Was probably just noseblind.

There was a weird smell in the kitchen one day. I noticed there was a potato on top of the fridge, which I grabbed to inspect, and it was essentially a thin husk like the potato skin had separated from the potato innards which had turned to toxic goo that smelled unspeakably putrid and began pouring all over the side of the fridge. It was horrifying.

If yinz have never watched Temponaut Timelapse, check it out. Very interesting channel that showcases a plethora of foodstuffs getting moldy. Really makes one admire the beauty of mold with its colorful variety and fractals, and interesting to learn which parts of food maggots find really tasty.

Spinach is worse because it gives off that bleachy smell.

I've drank milk that was pushing the point of safe consumption a few times, thankfully I've never gotten really sick. I hate to waste food and don't like to throw it out but at a certain point you have to just let that nasty-ass thing go.
I've scraped mold off a piece of apple pie and ate it, though the pie was getting stale and wasn't really worth it.

By accident I ate a mandarin with mold on the surface, normally I would have checked to see what was wrong with it the second I noticed the metallic taste but I was trapped in a one-sided conversation with someone I didn't like so it was only until after they went to go harass someone else that I stopped to see mold on the peel.

Had a few experiences with that, last time it happened, I had bought pork chops the friday afternoon before straight from the grocery store to the fridge. Monday for dinner I open the package, the chops are a bright pink (well not bright pink, you know the normal color).

It had no fowl smells, nothing. I cook them, sit down to eat take One bite, I almost vomitted, so I spat it out on the plate, threw it out, said fuck it and ordered food instead because the rest of my food was still frozen.

I had spoiled milk only once and I think it colored my opinion of drinking straight milk negatively for the rest of my life. I used to have it quite a bit as a kid but only one bad experience as a teenager is all it takes I suppose.

Rotten or even slightly spoiled beef gets me really bad for some reason. I can taste the grey or discolored meat in only slightly expired steak or hamburger very easily and it never covers up well. At least this got me into the habit of always making sure to buy fresh meat and cook it within a few days of getting it. I rarely have to throw meat out since I'm a bit more cautious about what I buy.

I've had expired beer on more than one occasion. Depending on how cheap and horrible the brand is you may not notice that the six pack you just bought is an entire year out of date. You'll probably feel it though, since you won't only get hungover you'll also be deathly ill for a few days after. Protip: if you find you're dusting off the tops of the cans before you crack them open, maybe check the expiration on them.

Two women members of my family directly died, one from expired ham and the other expired cheese.
