A 6-pack of microwave popcorn is about $.35-.40/bag. At that price
and how often I eat it, I'm not too concerned with the price
($.40/month).

As for the stink, I used to take it next door to the hotel and use
their microwave to nuke it.

Ahhhh, perhaps it had gotten warm during it's earlier life and then
refrigerated again.

I always pull mine from the back of the refrigerated shelves thinking
they might be fresher than those in the front.

I'm surely not a mold eater....ugh!

At one time Orville's was a patented corn that did pop up fluffier.
But I'm sure the patent has run out and others had developed their own
hybrids in the meantime.

Of course we will! Microwave popcorn with that artificial butter stuff
stinks to high heaven.


Do they even still make the original Jiffy Pop? You know, the kind that
came in a foil pan that puffed up when you heated it on the stove?

When I've seen it recently, it was always hanging
from a vertical line of hooks on a bar attached
to a shelf, not taking up valuable shelf space.
That probably contributes to its longevity, because
it's not competing for space with bags or jars.
Also, it sticks out into the lane.

I *did* return it. The cafe/market in the building is a bit sketchy,
IMHO, and I've quit buying anything there since the Yogurt Incident.
The manager gave me a hard time initially until he got a better look
at my business card: "Paralegal to..." Guess he figured the next face
he'd see would be my boss'. And he's have figured right.

During the short period of time you've been posting, it appears that
you constantly take offense where none is offered. Barb merely gave
you some common sense advice. If you don't like it, feel free to
ignore it.

Believe me, if Barb goes "off like a roman candle," you'll know it.

Nope, that was definitely not roman candle.
Nah, it's your comment about pitching a carton of unopened cottage
cheese because it's been in your fridge for maybe two weeks that made me
laugh.

Jeeeez lady, we're talking about one dollar. If there were any risk to
eating it that remained in my mind, I sure wouldn't have any qualms
about pitching it. Compared to a thousand dollar visit to the
emergency room, one dollar is a bargain.

I didn't take offence to your comment as Terry said, rather stressing
the fact that there were no complications to what I said.

Terry and you both seem to be inventing drama where no drama is
needed.

And I find his kind of fabricating extremely sad, on par with the
keyboard kooks... no one with a functioning brain cell tosses a
container of cottage cheese without at least opening it and taking a
whiff, and without ever looking at any stinkin' expiatory data. I've
brought cottage cheese home from the store with weeks left to go,
opened it that day and it was already spoiled... with perishables
freshness mostly depends on storeage conditions, expiration dates are
merely a very rough estimation... on several occasions I've had an
already opened half a container of cottage cheese hiding at the back
of my fridge for months and it was still perfectly fine... those dates
mean nothing when products weren't properly stored before you
purchased them. How many times have folks brought home a container of
milk with several days left on the date to find it already spoiled...
mostly depends where you buy it... many stores these days are raising
their fridge/freezer thermostats to the very upper limits to save
money... and leaving perishable out on the loading platform and in
store aisles for hours is a whole nother issue. Next you shop bring
your insta-read thermometer, you'll be very surprised, especially at
the temps in the meat case... and you needn't stick anything, just
poke it into the cleavage between packages. I've found that Walmart
maintains the most ideal fridge/freezer temps, they also have the
latest state of the art equipment... at least the Walmarts I
patronize, one is Fantastic:

Do you really believe a food market would even blink at replacing a
spoiled dairy product... it would be exchanged as quickly, quietly,
and with as little attention attracting fanfare as possible... and
like folks really flaunt their business cards at stores to exchange
stuff, especially something so trivial as a stinkin' yogurt... if
anything that attempt at intimidation will be met with a far harder
hardnose... only an indigent welfare twat would even think to pull
such a lowlife stunt. Om, I would never have believed you were so
gullible to believe there was such a thing as a "Yogurt Incident". DUH

5th time's a charm?

For the love of Pete! Is it past its expiry date? It is? Open it.
Look at it. Fur? Throw it away. No fur? Put some in a dish and dump
a 1/2 cup of applesauce on it and enjoy.

I have a carton of cottage cheese that's been in my fridge for 4 months.
If it's furry when I open it to use it, I'll pitch it and make something
that doesn't require cottage cheese.

You are complicating that which is not complicated.
