When I was younger I used to bring two water bottles with me to sports practices, a white one full of water, and a black one full of something else, Gatorade, juice, iced tea, etc. I stopped doing this after I forgot the black bottle in my car for most of a spring and a summer, only to find in the fall that the Arizona tea I had left inside had fermented and turned into alcohol. Smelled horrible. But I didn't smell it before I squirted it into my mouth.

A step is missing here. You found a black bottle in your car, and it was the black one so you knew it wasn't recent, but you took a squirt of months old sewage anyways?

There is a thai specialty dish which is rarely found called "salty crab" on the menu, made from a species that traditionally has to come from rice paddies at home.

Salty crab sounds good doesn't it? But when it comes out, it's fermented to blackness. Slimy, sticky, shit smelling crab legs put in perfectly good food. You're supposed to crack them and suck out the liquid horror as one of those supposed unique delicacies. Fermented fish sauce, I get. Ceviche cured in lime juice, I love. Actual rotting shit flesh, I do not get even as a concept. If I had not ordered and paid real canadian dollars for this, and found it in a fridge, I would throw it out in disgust and yell at whoever left it there.

When I was a kid there was always a health concern about eating salted crab. It could give you a stomach trouble and worse, parasites.
Note: I was somewhat amused when I realized my friends tried hard not to pluralize the word "crab" when talking about food because they didn't want to refer to an STD. https://www.thaitable.com/thai/ingredient/salted-crab

The dish served to me by a restaurant chef was much worse looking than the photo in the link. It looked and smelled like it was dripping with excrement. It was not intended to belong to this thread, yet it did.

I remember eating expired avocado on bread, I though it being kinda soft was normal... it wasn't. It was fucking disgusting.

Not spoiled food as such but as a kid my dad was watching his mom milk the cow, milk for personal use like drinking, cheese, butter so it went straight into a bucket, classic style. One teat was squirting out puss and blood. His mom said that it had to be worked out of the teat and kept milking it into the bucket(the milk would be be thrown away, it was ruined). He looked at the puss, the milk and the blood all squirting into that bucket, after getting a new bucket the rest of the teats produced good milk, and he never consumed any liquid dairy for the rest of his life. I once ate a bit of rancid butter at a friends house, so I didn't like butter for 20 years.

I was on the run and bought one of those pre-packaged sammiches already halved into triangles from a convenience store fridge, and manged pick it out, to buy it, run out the door and back into my car, and took a bite all without realizing it was visibly spoiled. Spit it out the window and basically had my mood set for the rest of the day. And I was already late so I couldn't inconvenience myself further to go get my money back either.

Haste makes waste. Er'ry fuckin' time.

There are two camps:

-Those who believe expired is the date on the packaging

-Those who know expired is a state with identifiable factors; e.g. smell, appearance, etc

True, but expire dates are not all the same.
Use by/freeze by = you better use it soon, 1 extra week tops
Best by = good for several weeks or potentially years after date.
I swear milk in paper containers last like an extra week longer than milk in plastic jugs.

Probably does. The container is more insulated and the waxed coating would be more stable against the acidity of the milk.

80% of the posters in this thread are pussy titty babies. Speaking of which, who are you adults drinking glasses of milk? That’s gross.

Was cracking eggs for scrambled eggs and one had went really fucking bad. It think it had gotten cracked somewhere. All the rest were fine.

eggs have that easy trick of sinking them in water to see how they go
I had some chicken broth that was questionable, but by the time I let it get up to room temperature it was clearly off

Happened recently where I was eating some chocolate sandwich cookies. I pulled the cookie apart to lick the chocolate, and realized there was white, fuzzy mold all over it. I had eaten a pack of them the day before normally, and was wondering why they tasted weird, but I just thought it was because they were off brand oreos with some kind of weird fruity flavor in them. I don't want to eat cookies again for awhile.

I did that with bread once, got through a slice folded in half with peanut butter then noticed it felt weird, then looked at that side and [FUR INTENSIFIES]
so on the plus side I guess it means I'm not allergic to penicillin

Salad greens can start turning even a couple days before the expiration date, while baby carrots can last even a month after the expiration date.

There was a specific brand sprite I opened up but left it there for 3 months, sprite was kinda getting old for me, but I then realized about the sprite and drank it when it was bad.
