what's the most gone off food anon's seen?i happened on some 6 month old, refrigerated cottage cheese. still looked fine, but smell was something else.inspired by finding out that my coffee milk carton was 6 days out of date just now. still smelled good.
>>22084344I once ate a little container of pumpkin spice yogurt that was 1 1/2 year old. I was hungry and I found it hidden at the back of the fridge. It looked fine, the seal was intact the smell was right so I ate it.
I always do the smell test. Fuck best buy dates.
>>22084344When I was a kid we used to have this hazing ritual when kids entered high school.A couple of months before summer vacation started we'd start throwing all the spoiled food we could find into a big pot and place it on the roof of a building to cook in the sun.Then at the beginning of August, we'd blindfold the kids and lead them somewhere and pour the contents of the pot on them.
>>22084344the office I used to work in had two fridges, one in the break room and one in a storage room. the storage room one had a half-used gallon of milk in it that I watched swell up to a dangerous point over many months. I did nothing to stop it. it was about 10 months before someone else finally noticed and threw it away iirc, unfortunately it didn't explode.
>>22084344Once when I was young my mom bought me one of those very small mini fridges, the ones you can put like 4 sodas in max. I had it on my desk and had put an orange in it. Now, my mom was a hoarder and I had no real respect for my shit back then because I had too much shit etc. I forgot about the orange and the fridge, I think it remained plugged in but I'm not sure.Anyways when we moved a year or two later I opened the fridge. That orange was like a bio hazard, I mean it was molded and everything around it was molded. I threw the whole fridge out and never looked back.
>>22084344milk is good for at least a week past the date. I'll use it in coffee until it starts curdling in the cup.
coconut that was turning into windex
>>22084344container of rice that was hiding in the back of my fridge for 2 monthsshit was blue and smelled like it came from another planet
>>22084436Not always. I've had it curdle 4 days before the date
>>22084415Similarly my mom was a food hoarder and had a old full size fridge in the garage full of weird stuff (there were also 2 full size fridges and a stand up freezer in the house, all full). Well as I was clearing the house I never really got around to the garage fridge until a few months had passed, and by then the inside was real moldy. I never ended up bothering with clearing it out, just kept it shut and plugged in until I had some junk haulers take it away about 6 months later.
>>22084344Two things come to mind, both in Taiwan:1. I bought a big bulk pack of ground pork from Costco and put it in the fridge. I kept intending to divide it up so I could freeze it, but kept putting it off. After a week or maybe two, I realized it was going to go bad if I didn't. Waaaaay too late. As soon as I opened the package, not only did it stink, but the surface literally turned blue.2. When they finally ended the COVID border closure in late 2020, I flew back and had to quarantine in my apartment for 14 days (really 15 because they didn't count the first day). Getting food delivered was a pain in the ass because my apartment building's front desk guards kept refusing to allow delivery drivers in. At one point I dug through my fridge and found a package of tofu. I opened it up and cooked with it, but the surface was all wrinkly. Later I looked at the package and realized I must have bought it almost two years earlier. Oh well, it wasn't rotten anyway despite the weird surface.
>>22084359>Fuck best buy dates.You take your dates to Best Buy??
>>22084436Lucky for someHad some slightly out of date milk in my tea and spent the next day going at both ends and feeling delirious
>>22084373You should all kill yourselves
>>220843443 months old eggs. Was still good
Unfortunately I had the unpleasant experience of going on vacation and coming back to find out my refrigerator had died.There were maggots crawling around in it.
Found a pack of pic related in the fridge. It was so blown up it had the size of a small football. Took it outside and pierced it with a knife. The smell was horrid. They still looked completely fine though.
>>22084755We hang out near the front door and laugh at the nerds coming in.
I can't handle spoiled food. I heave my stomach up just looking at it. Many a Tupperware container I've thrown in the trash because I didn't want to deal with the horrors that laid within.
>>22084344Left a bit of roast beef in a slow cooker with the lid on. Maggots.
