Why do they even make dogshit flavour Doritos when they're so unpopular?

Well, the shit-eating dog market is substantial....

Rotten potato is one of the worst smells ever. And rotten onion.

I'm surprised more ppl haven't mentioned melons -- old melon is the pinnacle of sweet/rot.

Oooh yes rotten (raw) potato, definitely a foul stench.

The worst. Also if you leave gereberas in a vase too long = rotten potato stench
― VegemiteGrrrl, Monday, 5 December 2011 02:02 (twelve years ago) link
or however you spell that flower lol
Oh man, rotting flower water is vile. It smells like a big vase of diarrhea.
When I worked at a grocery store I accidentally stuck my hand into a rotten potato. The smell would not wash off, not even with bleach or baking soda.

in one of my rental houses we had a phantom stench in the kitchen...one day I lost it & went through every cupboard & corner praying it wasnt a decaying mouse. In a random empty cupboard I found a bag of completely rotted, deflated potatoes. I can still dmell them. *shudder*

smell
― VegemiteGrrrl, Monday, 5 December 2011 04:32 (twelve years ago) link
We had a phantom smell in our last apartment. It turned out to be a gallon can of soy sauce that was totally fine (or at least we used it and didn't die) until one day it made our apartment smell like something crawled into a vent and died.

Before we figured out what it was, we called Jesse AND building maintenance. Phantom kitchen stenches send me into this panicked fight-or-flight state in which I monomaniacally tear the kitchen apart until I find the thing that smells.

WHOA SORRY GIANT CAN OF SOY SAUCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
Smelled up my kitchen, now it's smelling up this thread.
― thejenny, Monday, 5 December 2011 04:45 (twelve years ago) link
see that is why it's not worth it to buy in bulk
― recently deposed application inspector for the (league of women voters), Monday, 5 December 2011 04:52 (twelve years ago) link
I had no idea you could buy bulk metal cans of soy sauce! Yows.
― Leave town with an orange, and pretend you're laughing at it. (Trayce), Monday, 5 December 2011 05:50 (twelve years ago) link
I buy those big jugs of soy sauce. They last about me about 2 months. I love soy sauce.
― Sandbox Jesse, Monday, 5 December 2011 07:41 (twelve years ago) link
Yes. So we learned.
― thejenny, Monday, 5 December 2011 13:09 (twelve years ago) link
Did you not refrigerate it? I've had soy sauce that was still good after a few years that I only threw out because the bottle got too messed up.
― rusty flathead screwdriver, Monday, 5 December 2011 13:19 (twelve years ago) link
No. You don't really have to refrigerate soy sauce and the giant can of it didn't fit in the fridge anyway. But I mean, you don't really have to refrigerate soy sauce if you're going to use it pretty quickly. I'm thinking we had this can for more than a year.
― thejenny, Monday, 5 December 2011 13:36 (twelve years ago) link
You would think all that salt would preserve it for years.
― Sandbox Jesse, Monday, 5 December 2011 14:57 (twelve years ago) link
Huh, it never occurred to me that soy could go bad. Seemed like, I dunno, vegemite...like a "forever" condiment, lol.
EVERYTHING I KNOW IS WRONG *cries*
― VegemiteGrrrl, Monday, 5 December 2011 15:14 (twelve years ago) link
I refrigerate my soy sauce, including the big jugs. That's what the crisper drawer is for - refrigerating bulk products.
― Sandbox Jesse, Monday, 5 December 2011 17:24 (twelve years ago) link
I thought that was for beer.
― William (C), Monday, 5 December 2011 17:30 (twelve years ago) link
The second, smaller fridge is for beer!
― OH NOES, Monday, 5 December 2011 17:31 (twelve years ago) link
crisper is for beer and applesno one needs that much soy sauce in their fridge at any given time unless that fridge is inside of a restaurant
― recently deposed application inspector for the (league of women voters), Monday, 5 December 2011 17:32 (twelve years ago) link
Wrong. I need that much soy sauce.
― Sandbox Jesse, Monday, 5 December 2011 17:34 (twelve years ago) link
Also: a gallon of sweet chili sauce.

what is that horrible smell
― recently deposed application inspector for the (league of women voters), Monday, 5 December 2011 17:35 (twelve years ago) link
Also: multiple bottles of Srirachia.
And tubs of pre-peeled garlic (which I freeze).
God bless the Asian market where I buy those bulk items, and of course God bless pre-peeled garlic.

Although Jeff has been lobbying for a second smaller beer fridge for years.

sriracha doesn't need to be kept in the fridge fyi

I would be nice to put vegetables in the crisper drawers, I suppose.
― thejenny, Monday, 5 December 2011 17:59 (twelve years ago) link
I'm still trying to deal with this. Jesse, why do you even have multiple bottles of Sriracha? How many bottles are we talking about?
― William (C), Monday, 5 December 2011 18:38 (twelve years ago) link
In the bathroom at my current workplace, there is a dispenser of some sort of fragrance. This stuff deserves to be outlawed under treaties against chemical warfare.
― j.lu, Monday, 5 December 2011 19:21 (twelve years ago) link
William, having know Jesse as long and as well as I have, I can say that multiple bottles of refrigerated Siracha is probably the least strange of his consumption/food storage/storage of nonfood items in places where there is usually only food habits.
― thejenny, Monday, 5 December 2011 19:24 (twelve years ago) link
I keep a bottle of sriracha in my toilet tank

I keep multiple bottles of Srirachia b/c I like Srirachia and I don't like running out of it.
I do my Asian foods shopping at an Asian supermarket that is walking distance from my previous apartment, but miles from my current one. Soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, curry paste, straw mushrooms, and Srirachia are ridiculously cheap there, and they are things I use a lot of, so I stock up.
Srirachia, like soy sauce, doesn't need to be refrigerated if used in a reasonable period, but like we learned ITT re soy sauce, it can eventually go bad. (I was at a friend's house where she pulled from the pantry some Srirachia that was rust-colored and very watery. She didn't realize that it wasn't supposed to look like that b/c it had gradually turned that way over the years she had it. It might not have been toxic, but it was definitely *off*.)
― Sandbox Jesse, Monday, 5 December 2011 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
It'll go dark after a long time at any temperature. I gave my parents a bottle several years ago and it was dark as barbecue sauce before the old coots trusted it enough to dig it out of the back of the fridge to try it. Surprise! They liked it.
