Worst thing you've ever found in your fridge...

CycloneYoda, are you an archeologist? Cause you just dug up something prehistoric.

My roommate and I in college let milk go through various stages of change in our fridge for months after expiration. Then we made the mistake of opening it.

My wife's wheat grass shots....and they weren't even old.

Not in the fridge but a few years back went shopping at Hy-Vee and threw the bags into the trunk. One of the items bought was a bag of Dole salad. During transit the bag of salad slid out of the grocery bag and slid to the edge of the trunk where there was a big enough gap that it fell down into the spare tire well. A few months later had a flat tire and when I pulled off the cover for the spare tire found the bag, still sealed, but inside was nothing but this black/brown paste.

we just found a box of some kind of chili stuff in our pantry yesterday that had been expired by 6 years.

Night crawlers that I forgot I had put in there. The wife has bad dreams about that to this day.

A couple years back we cleaned out my grandmas deep freeze in her basement. She had trouble with stairs and we were taking the freezer up stairs for her. In the frost/ice on the side we found packages of meat that were labled 1986. No smell but she still might of cooked them for us.

The worst thing I found was some turkey deli meat that had a greenish color to it. The reason it wins worst thing is because of what it did to me after I ate it. I won't make that mistake again!

My favorite tonight only had one new color and has only been in there for 2 or 3 weeks... but apprently the lid wasn't shut tight. I had 1/2 of a Green Pepper that had begun to liquify... into a yellowish-white liquid. Fortuantly it's strong smell still partially reminded me of a green pepper - that was a disaster waiting to happen though.

To go with the green pepper tonight we have (all dates refered to are experation dates) year old parmasion cheese, 5 month and 2 month past due yogurt, a year and a half old thing of tortillas (probally still edible actually...) and some green beans that were turning brown.

Past favorites: I forget what it was but it had atleast 3 different molds growiing on it, based on the fact that there were 3 different colors in it...

The one that still gives me nightmares comes from 4 years ago though... when as a freshman I made Macaroni and Cheese, the put the left overs in a bowl. After not eatting it for a week or two I knew it was no good any more, but I couldn't see anything molding so I didn't bother to clean it out. A few months went by, it hid in the back of my fridge until one fateful day I decided it was time to clean it out (I think was near moveout time). I almost threw out my nice bowl when I opened it... the Macaroni inside was no longer yellow or white... but it was a sickly, translucent gray. It had the look of something dead and decaying and ghastly. It's a miracle that I can still eat Macaroni today after seeing that...

Don't get me wrong, I don't usually leave food in my fridge so long it turns colors but on occasion, there is that one bowl of something that does get shoved into the back and forgotten about for a little too long... and I know it happens to others.
So lets hear your horror story!
