Say one were to have found a two litre of (rather good) juice in one's trunk.* Now, knowing that this juice has been through the freeze-thaw-boil-freeze-boil-repeat cycle of Saskatchewan winter and Saskatchewan 'spring' -- would one think this was still good to drink?


* Assuming one is not a hobo, despite all evidence to the contrary, and merely uses one's trunk for extra storage room.**

** What? It's not like I was using the trunk for anything else.

If the juice has been opened previously and lips have touched it? Dear god no. Otherwise, it's good!

Not that I know from experience or anything... :D

The one time I had something other than water in my Nalgene bottle, it was iced tea for a long drive, and I ended up forgetting about it and leaving it the sun in the front seat of my car in 35 degree weather.

I was looking at it, eyeing it for the trip back, and then I realized exactly what I was thinking.

Is this like how people ask me how I know that Cheese Whiz can actually go bad? Because if I never have to revisit that memory again, I'll be okay with it.

Is Cheese Whiz like like Kraft cream cheese in a jar? Because that goes really festy if you leave it in the fridge for several months and strangely enough still tastes like it's fresh. *shudders*

If it hasn't been opened and the vacuum seal is still good it might be okay? Possibly.

It's a "cheddar" cheese spread in a jar, and you can totally tell if it goes bad.

um, I wouldn't drink it, but then I have this thing about the trunks of cars (and the back seats, as well, often) in that they represent Dirty in my head. yeah, um. our trunk was always so gross, that, well.

*nod* Yeah, I can see where you're coming from, but thing is? My car's not that dirty, if just because I hardly ever drive it. I usually take the bus or walk, and my trunk is full of CDs, class notes, and envelopes.

... Like I said, I'm not actually a hobo? I just needed some place to keep things, and I wasn't using the trunk for anything else. *is not like the other kids*

see, i'd be deathly afraid of that juice. this is mostly because i once forgot a bottle of apple juice in a golf bag for a few months; it fermented enough to become a surprisingly powerful gas grenade and then exploded in the middle of the night. (for about thirty seconds, i was convinced that the aliens were invading and it was the end of the world.) so, now i'm kind of paranoid about all questionable and/or past-sell-by-date juice.

wasn't that helpful! and i use my trunk to store things, too. mostly ice skates, umbrellas, spare tires, and limp soccer balls. i don't really know why.

Is it wrong that your story makes me giggle? I mean, I'm sure it was very startling, but it makes me smile.

It is an excellent storage space! Though, my figure skates are in a flower pot in my coat closet.

... Yeah, you probably don't want to know.

Housemate A's sister's boyfriend from Toronto that's staying with us says "Yes, drinkable". :)

Toronto, eh? What steady climate they have there. *G*

Thanks!
