In our home, lovingly called the Bring in Bread and it will Mold Home, we have discovered that Sara Lee Whole Grain White bread DOES NOT MOLD. It’s kind of scary wondering what they put in it to make it not mold. We don’t eat it any more.

I once opened a jar of old mustard that looked a little less than half full. when i took off the lid the contents started bubbling over the top and oozing down the sides for about five minutes.

@Rick A. Actually, that’s bull. FYI, the REAL origin of ‘Rule of Thumb’ is that the last joint of the thumb is approximately one inch (on most people). People would use this as a rough guide to measurement before rulers or tape-measures were common.

There was this one time when I was cleaning out the refrigerator, I felt this object at the farthest crevasses and the farthest a person can reach inside the refrigerator. It was a topper ware, and I was trying to remember what was inside or how did it get there in the first place. I think it was pushed by other food items until it finally fell.
Anyway, I took it out, it was cloudy and hard to see what was inside. So I shook it, it was a solid mass until a few solid shaking moments later, it broke into a thick slushy mix. Then it hit me (no not the goo inside), I suddenly remembered that this was canned corn that I saved a long half year ago! I was definitely curious now on it’s appearance, so I slowly opened the bio-glued topper ware top. PSSSHHHHH! This strong stream of alien gas hit my face and forced it’s way into my nostrils, it smelled a bit like ammonia with remnants of bad canned corn, and hideous digested rot and stink. I didn’t gag, probably because of the excitement of seeing what was inside with a bit of adrenaline. Inside, looked like condensed sweet milk, with greenish colored cotton cheese and yellow corn (it looked like vomit). Wow, that was pretty horrible, in to the toilet the self digested goo went and into hot boiling water for my topper ware.

FYI, ‘rule of thumb’ from old English law, was the size of the switch you could use to beat your wife or children. No thicker than the circumference of a mans thumb. Hence, ‘rule of thumb’. Why does my mind retain shit like this yet not remember to take out the garbage, or pay the phone bill?

i’ve seen all of these in my dad’s house… except the bouncing onion dip and the hampster… we had a dog… and we had items in the fridge that out-lived it

Sugar should not be used if it is the setting for an ant farm, complete with little tunnels and paths.

I learned this at my ex’s grandmother’s house (Gram had vision problems.) That is where I learned the apparently healthy habit of NEVER using sugar in or on ANYTHING. Ever.

Of course, the creamer looked pretty lumpy, too.

That being an Irish household, I learned to drink tea.

Black. No sugar.
