What’s The Worst Thing You’ve Found in Your Fridge?

June 5th, 2008 by mike

Mike here,

So what’s the worst thing you’ve found and what colour was it?!

And if you want a story of a fridge, here’s my first short story for a group called The Society of Midnight Wanderers, run by the Supplicant and one of our Flower Smellers, Mr Grudge.

I’m almost ashamed to admit it - I have a terrible sense of smell you see (blocked sinuses) but I’d not long been married and my wife (now ex) was away every week at college doing a works qualification so i waved her off monday morning and greeted her back friday evening.

As her mum lived quite nearby, I was invited down for dinner each night.

Unbeknown (or more likely forgotten) my thoughtful wife had cooked a chicken on the sunday evening before she’d left one week for me to eat cold for dinner through the week.

Of course, when she came home on the Friday, the first thing she noticed was the smell of the chicken still in the oven - well it was apparently tapping to be let out.

And yes - I was never allowed to forget it.

That is probably the worst story that I’ve heard. I did have a friend who doesn’t have a good sense of smell and at really spoiled food in college and almost died. He has permanent neurological damage.

I honestly wasn’t in the house long enough to smell it (i think)

Did you know that kosher pickles in a jar turn blue? I now know that…did not open the jar either.

I don’t know. I found it in my husband’s refrigerator when I moved in after we got married. It was actually kind of pretty.

Hmmm…it was fuzzy and unidentifiable. Scary, just throw it out, throw it out, I don’t want to know, she says to her husband.

Half a cantalope. I think it was dark blue and fuzzy/slimy. We had a contest to try and figure out what it was. Now I’m off to read the story!

I have to admit I smell everything and taste it before I eat it.

A good precaution mate - I might have to arm wrestle you for the Mike tag though. Or paper, rock, scissors?

Will the real Mike please stand up?

Well, mom found an earthworm curled up inside a Green Bell Pepper once. Not as bad as Purple’s story though.

Thanks for that link. That was great! Unlike that story, instead of getting rid of voices I think I’m looking for voices in my fridge, voice to answer the questions that sometimes plague my mind in the middle of the night.

Glad you liked it 2sweetnsaxy - I haven’t written anything for a while, so it was good to get back into the saddle. :-)

The worse thing we’ve found in our fridge was after returning to Dubai after 6 weeks of travel a couple of years ago- it turned out the power tripped the day we left leaving the whole contents of our fridge in 50 degree C heat in Dubia - the whole contents had rotted - green, smelly and rotten.

The whole fridge contents was the issue!

GO! Smell the fridge.

I removed all the green gunk whilst Em got the rubber gloves on…..

We’ll leave it there OR could start a dirty fridge corner here in the garden - compost corner, perhaps?

That thing is never really going to be clean. There will always be small pockets of mold and mildew smell. Are you going to replace it?

Can’t say that I have ever had any real yucky stuff in my fridge. I’m a bit pedantic for throwing things out after a couple of days if no-one has used them.

So, the Society of the Midnight Wanderers huh! I liked it Mike… damn them for waking you… cold milk can do that… tee hee!
