Weirdness: What’s the weirdest thing you’ve found in your fridge?
shared an old story of mine
I was living in a house full of college students (being a grad student myself) where people would move in and move out pretty frequently. As I moved my food into the refrigerator my first day there, I noted a half-gallon of orange juice in an unlabeled container in the back. I didn’t think much of it since the fridge was completely filled with stuff. Here is what it looked like:
It looked exactly like this image in every possible way. Anyway, we all had a policy of not throwing away anyone else’s things, and this bottle remained at the back of the fridge for a year-and-a-half before the other housemates and I decided to go through the refrigerator and give it a thorough clean.
At this point, I knew that this orange juice belonged to nobody- the last person who predated my arrival at the house had just moved out a week ago, so clearly, this juice has no owner (and of course, there’s no question that it’s gone well and truly bad by this point). We went through the clean systematically and arrived at this jug, still in its original place at the back of the fridge, bottom shelf…
Imagine my horror to discover that it was actually
a half-gallon of milk
that had expired
more than four years ago.
