It's always casserole. there are always leftovers, which no-one ever eats, so they get stuck in the freezer in a tupperware container. Every time we have a fridge cleanout, which is usually every 2-3 years or so, we find one or two mysterious boxes of it. What bothers me is how it looks so perfectly preserved...like we used formalin or something...and how there always seem to be more boxes of it than there were original casserole meals....
i new someone who was given a kitkat that was older than he was (he was 18 at the time). ive had yoghurt in the fridge thats been there a couple of months and was very hairy. ive got a jar of jam thats going mouldy. one of my house mates likes making random concoctions and one of them has been left for over a month and absolutely stinks!
The other day, me and my friends were at my place. One of them got hungry, so we ventured upon a milk crate. "IŽll have that", she said. She drank it, then she spit the ancient baverage over the sink. The damn thing was green and creamy. I tried some of it and I almost slipped into a coma. Awfull.
Not fridge, but similarly related... I was given an easter egg when i was 6, it had a green wrapper, and i still remember the two holes in the foil which showed its chocolaty goodness inside. Such goodness in fact, that I never ate it... I hid it in the back of my cupboard, hidden away from all the scary things in the world, like parents who may throw it away I checked it, on and off, for 11 years, and it always sat there, content, happy with life My beacon of hope I checked it one morning, there it was, happy and green, went off to school where a discussion similar to this one came up, and I told of my epic egg Many did not believe me, one person so much so that he decided to find out for himself He visited to see the egg The egg was gone
I was the last to leave the house, first to arrive back August 19th, it was a Tuesday, cold, humid, partially overcast I remember it like it was yesterday Oh egg, where did you go?
xitel: I had some fresh squeezed orange juice in my fridge so long that it began fermenting somehow. Seriously. It had somehow developed what tasted like alcohol, even though I realize it wouldn't have turned into alcohol. It had a fizz too. And I drank it. It tasted pretty good actually.
Orange juice moonshine!
I still live at home and we regularly clean out the fridge so I think the oldest food in my fridge has probably been some old jam or maybe some egg-yokes (sp?).
Ha about 2 months before last X'mas( over a year ago I guess) I put some strawberries in milk then hid it in the back of our fridge it was only remembered about 2 weeks ago and was completely brown, my family were beyond furious and confused as to what possessed me.
We found a four and half year expired bottle of mayo in the fridge in the garage, out of curiosity I opened it which was pretty stupid as it looked bad and the bottle had blown out a bit. Words cannot begin to describe how bad the smell was but I was sick on the floor.

Dude, that's why you poke a couple holes in the top and throw some baking soda on it to neutralize the smell. Then, let it ROT!
Well... It wasn't in the fridge, but about a year ago me, my mom and my sister were cleaning up the closet, and we found a pack of spices that expired in 1992 or something.

Mstrswrd: I actually just remembered something else.
Back when we moved into the house we are currently living in, my father was working on the attic of the garage. He had a cup of coffee that he placed off to the side, in between the stairs and the wall. Well, he forgot it. A few years later, I found it. It had become a gel of some kind. I stuck a pen in it. Then, I forgot about it. No-one knows about this cup (I covered it so that it wouldn't be found). The pen was gone within 2 years. The fucking gel coffee dissolved a pen. I don't want to touch the cup (which is ceramic, so the cp won't dissolve) to dispose of it. It scares me. Plus, it's been another 4 years since it dissolved the pen. I hesitate to think of what lives in that cup
holy crap that's scary.
weapons grade coffee gel, used to take out tanks.
EDIT: the worst i had was a sandwich i found in my rucksack a week ago. the last time i went to school with it was three years ago, back in England. that sandwich is technically an illegal immigrant.
I left a banana in the fridge one time cause i planned to eat it later and i didn't want ants to crawl all over it. I eventually forgot and the thing was there for like.. 5 weeks or more till my mom found it there (i dug it deep in the fridge.) It was a thing of beauty. It was all black, and was really really try. The top of it had like mold and when you got to the the inside... WOO! It formed a texture unbeknown to n. It was in between squishy, turd soft and rock solid. It was all black, and had mold EVERYWHERE. It was the most disastrous, and most awesome mistake I have ever done.
Lord Harrab: The worst i had was a sandwich i found in my rucksack a week ago. the last time i went to school with it was three years ago, back in England. that sandwich is technically an illegal immigrant.
Wait... if it's an illegal immigrant, that would require it to be... ALIVE!? You have managed to cultivate life in your backpack!

Those are both the nastiest things I've ever heard.
Coffee is a breeding ground for mold. I have OCD, so I have rituals, and one of my rituals involves cleaning out my coffee pot after each use. But I guess my mother didn't know this and figured I just cleaned everything when I had my coffee (instead of when I went to put things away), and she just stuck the coffee pot back in my armoire. After a few days, I noticed my room smelt of coffee, and a few days after THAT, I went to make coffee, and...UGH. Green mold floating on the bit of coffee left in the pot, and the coffee grounds were full of white mold. I ran hot water through that thing so many times...
Oh, and my best friend, her stepfather used to leave cups and cans of beer all around the room, and they'd mold over. There were dozens and dozens of moldy cups EVERYWHERE. I found it disturbingly fascinating.
We've all seen when someone mixes water and oil with a little food coloring right? Well about 8 years ago I decided that was awesome and started mixing random stuff in my kitchen. I'm talking water, egg yolk, black pepper, milk, lemon juice, vamilla extract, baking soda, oil, blue food coloring, apple juice and other miscellaneous items. It freaked my mom out, so she decided to put some Clingwrap over it and stuff in waaaaaaay in the back of the fridge (Mind you our fridge is quite large) and promptly forgot about it. Well, last week she found it again and the blue mix of stuff had crusted around the inside of the cup and the liquid had turned solid. Like silicon.
I dunno, I tend to eat almost all the food in my fridge pretty fast. So probably a bottle of HP Brown Sauce , (nothing like a little product placement) because I bought a bottle of Barbecue sauce when I was half way through it, and used that instead.
crimson5pheonix: Is the fish prophetic? No? Then it's nothing compared to my Jello! But seriously, 14 year old fish? It's gone, don't eat it. It will make you hallucinate in a bad way.
Oh, I have heard strange voices in the middle of the night. It keeps telling me to do things... bad things.
Varchld: That's a scary bit of fish, frozen or preserved in any way?
I think it is in the freezer actually, I'm too scared at the moment to check.
That's funny, the Jello population that believes I exist wish for me to smite those who don't think I exist.
give them that headache pill that disolves in water, they may start a nuclear war!
We found dozens of bottles of home made wine that had been in a cupboard for nearly 15 years. They seemed to be half liquid, half sediment. We strained and tried a couple, it wasn't a good idea in hindsight.
A bit unusual in my household for alcohol to go untouched, but I had a couple bottles of horrible Eastern European beer in there for nearly 2 years. They didn't even get drunk.
Not only that, but it had strong convictions against religion. There were militant atheists! I'm using it as a model on humanity. 2079 is going to be ugly by the way.
Are there factions? Organized governments? Protesters? It's not accurate otherwise. Besides, everyone knows the world will end in 2012.
Of course it has all of that. And the world will live on after 2012. It'll just look like Fallout 3, if the Jello is to be believed.

mayby it has the same species on crimson5pheonix's jello!

I looked through my fridge just for this..found nothing. In the cabnets however...there was a can of creamed corn whose expiration date was in 1965. My house is a repo, so theres a lot of things left over...like a 20 year old broken lamp. (which incidentally, works perfectly.)
Once, early one morning, grabbed my cereal, found a jug of milk on the counter and made to pore it over my weetabix. The result? Instead of poring the milk flopped over. It become yogurt. Plus, the other side of this...paste was green and blue and had hair. It also stank.
Surprising it actually tasted quiet good on weetabix.

Well, it had been there for eleven years. Maybe it grew legs and walked away.

What color was the hair? You may have just eaten primordial ooze my friend.

this entire conversation seems reminiscent of a Simpson's Treehouse of Horror episode.
Lisa performs a science experiment to see if cola will dissolve a tooth and Bart shocks Lisa as part of his project to prove that nerds conduct electricity. The tooth was also shocked and it undergoes an unusual reaction and creates a race of miniature beings. Lisa discovers this the next day and marvels at how the people in her universe evolve at a rapid rate, going through the various ages humans have gone through into modern times and eventually, a society more advanced than current humanity. Bart destroys some of the ecosystem in Lisa's tub universe and the people respond, sending a squadron of space ships to attack Bart. Bart vows revenge on the small universe and Lisa wonders what to do. Suddenly, she is beamed down into the tub where the citizens explain that they regard her as God and they want her to do something about Bart. However, Bart grabs the tub and submits it in the science fair and Lisa is forced to watch from within as Bart wins first prize. She asks to be returned to her normal size, which the citizens explain is impossible, and she realizes that she is stuck in the tub for the rest of her life. Grumpily, Lisa demands they carry on worshipping her.

They've already had several! BTW, humanity is going to hate 2940.
Well, the best I can manage is the one frozen churros I found in my freezer. I believe the last time we had churros were in 2000. It tasted nice.
