When the pandemic began I had a sandwich inside a plastic bag in my backpack Not needing to use my backpack, I put it in my closet Well one day I needed to stay at my grandmother's for a few days while the floors at my house were being replaced It turns out a year is enough time for a sandwich to convert into brown liquid

Had s similar experience, expect it was an actively used backpack. Sandwich just hide beneath all the books i had in there. Lost some keys, took out everything to look for them and found a moldy sandwich. Probably a couple months and got very mushy. Impressive ziplock bag. Didn’t rip with all the book and tossing of backpack everywhere. Reason it took so long to find this forgotten sandwich was there was absolutely no smell either.

[@AnnoyingNewslettersPage6]

I've been composting for about a year now. I started with just a small extra trash can on my balcony, but then someone tossed their compost tumbler on the curb so I upgraded. I did a little bit of checking to see what I showed or shouldn't throw in there, and most of my compostable waste at home tends to be cellulose/lignen matter, so that keeps things going nice and slow. At one point, however, with that much cardboard and paper waste in there I was growing a colony of tall skinny mushrooms.

[@kevinkramer4310]

Could you identify them?

[@QuinnEthanR]

Mushrooms!!!!! That's so cool!!

[@Shaden0040]

To prevent cut apples from becoming brown, coat them with a bit of citrus juice like lemon or lime or orange.

[@DennisJrgensen]

So you waste one fruit to save a half of another. You could also take that half apple and wrap it in plastic wrap or sink it into water. As long as you keep the oxygen away from the cut

[@dushadow3840]

Just eat it before it becomes brown

[@jehmarxx]

I fell asleep while studying and I just had a weird dream about discovering a lot of moldy bread that I forgot I bought. Yes. That's what woke me up. That was a lot of bread.

[@RainbowMama143]

You missed a fun one! Some fruits can produce acetone when they go bad! I learned this when I found a very expired container of sliced peaches in my fridge. There was no sign of mold or other spoilage, until I opened the lid and took a whiff. It smelled like nail polish remover!

[@chainmaillekid]

You can't do a food going bad compilation on leftovers day.

[@anyascelticcreations]

🤣

[@grell5108]

Actually, in my household oxidized apples are seen as a snack for people with stomach problems. You just slice it really thin or you grate it and wait for about 20 min and then you eat it. It's really sweet, but not overpoweringly sweet. We also give people very soft bananas and carrots. Don't know why it works but it does.

[@LeadTrumpet1]

Having MCAS has made me learn everything about the food ripening and spoilage process and it’s kinda disturbing. But the bacteria on food creates histamine and normally food low in histamine can be high in histamine rather quick (not a problem for most people but significant problem for those with overactive or too many mast cells). I have learned how to avoid leftovers if at all possible.

[@popenieafantome9527]

Isn’t histamine what causes the inflammation response? So if you eat too many foods with this, does your throat close up?

[@Dzyntara]

I love oat milk. It strikes a perfect balance between health, environmental safety, taste, and the fact that oat milk can last a month in the fridge before going bad.

[@mattbrown942]

Oat milk is garbage. Loaded with added sugars, guar gums, seed oils, and many times a sweetener that has twice the glucose index than regular sugar. Garbage. Stay away

[@derAtze]

But it's way too expensive, considering the fact it's not even a handful of oats in a liter of water, sold to us for sometimes multiple dollars :(

This is a PSA not to eat mashed potatoes that have been sitting on your counter over night. I got bad food poisoning after doing that 🤢 Worst part was, they had a lot of garlic butter mixed in, so I couldn't smell that the milk in the mash had gone sour

[@liseturner1019]

I have pet rats and the fact they can't vomit means that, although they can eat basically anything, I have to be really careful about the couple of things they can't. It's also a good quick test to make sure a possible new vet knows what they're doing with rats. If they say your rat is throwing up or trying to, you put your fuzzy friend back in its carrier and take your business elsewhere.

[@lucettacole4617]

Nope. I cant smell very well at all in the first place but especially cant tell the difference between unspoiled or unspoiled milk or meats.

[@AllegedlyHuman]

You're not alone. I'm actually highly sensitive to some smells and react especially strong to perfume and cigarettes but am virtually blind or severely undersensitive to other smells. I actually was able to vaguely tell that some clothes smelled bad once, but they were really sour and I was overmedicated on a drug that exacerbated my preexisting hypersensitivity to the degree that I would feel each individual strand of fur when petting my cats. I generally can't tell when food is spoiled without visual indicators either

9:40 old saying: fish has no "smell". bacteria infecting fish flesh (say that 3 times real fast) stink--so if your deli/butcher shop "stinks like fish" report them. the health dept knows this trivia too. haven't thought of this for over 60 yrs. daddy was career (ww2 to VN) USMC, and had the usual vocabulary. my mother: "quit the cursing. if you have to say something nasty, say Buzzard Pewk. i can't think of anything nastier than Buzzard Pewk." from what i understand, this made my father Legend as a Captain. thanks for the memories.

[@anyascelticcreations]

Funny enough I almost never get sick from food. Possibly because I have a crazy strong sense of smell. But I've eaten things waaayyy past the expiration date. It tasted fine. And I didn't get sick. Maybe I have good gut microbes too. 🤷‍♀️

[@victorvonsteuben1728]

Expitation dates are purposely made to state an earlier date then when they would go bad. This makes sure that consumers are less likely to get food poisoning

[@Crustee0]

If you had kept the food that "expired" in very cold place (like a fridge) before consuming it, its most likely not rotten/spoiled yet

@@Crustee0 Yep. My cole slaw was in the fridge. And waaaayyyy past the expiration date. But it smelled and tasted good. And my tummy was happy. Though, it may have partially fermented on its own by then.

I did some research to figure out what the lowest maintenance composting I could possibly do was, and figured out that I'd I keep it relatively dry, it shouldn't require stirring etc. And to be fair, I don't think it has required it... but it's VERY slow, as I live in what is for practical purposes the desert. The lid for my homemade compost cage broke from the high winds we get here, but I've just left it off bc I can't remember to water it as often as necessary and it's helpful to let the rare rainfall soak in and kick that decomposition back into gear for a few days 😂
