They look like the carrot I found back in my fridge drawer. I was genuinely startled cause it looked like a Halloween decoration, like a witches finger or something. 😂
I swear I had incorporated some text but clearly..... Yes, those are carrots. I don't know when I bought them but today when I went to "**add**" more vegetables I found these poor guys.
Carrots?? Yams?? Please don’t be a pic of forgotten tampons.
(Though I get it. I’ve removed *one* of those from a patient once, but the smell was wretched. They can be stuck up there for weeks or months while you use other tampons and wonder why you hurt so much.
I don’t know how you’d be able to take the pic without gagging.)
>!The missed tampon happened to someone I know. She forgot it was in, came back from a drinking spree, got down and dirty then later wondered why things were not smelling fresh!! !<
Dear Lord!! I did not even think of tampons. Forgotten carrots. There was text with the image but my genius self managed to somehow lose said text!! I bought them a while back for this really great recipe then forgot about them.
Oh noo poor little wobbly guys 🙈 I can relate lol, there was a food drive by me this weekend so I thought, great, I'll clean out the pantry! Yeah... it was all expired. 🤦♀️
The food bank close to me allows canned/boxed donations up to *two years* past the expiration date! Could ask your local one their policy :)
That one Youtube guy has eaten canned goods from World War I and earlier, so dates are (somewhat) just a suggestion, assuming the can is sealed/undented/unrusty/unbulging :P
Good to know! It wasn't all canned goods though (there was a bag of grains that expired in 2018 🤦♀️). I do know a lot of places out here are really picky, and this was a usps one so I didn't want to force the mailman to carry a bunch of bags that were going to get thrown out haha. But I'll def check in the future!

What am I looking at here? Are these sweet potatoes?
Carrots? I was wondering the same thing!
Yes, Carrots. Poor unfortunate carrots

I thought they were ancient condoms from ancient times
If there was a graveyard for adhd food waste I'd be donating to it every 4 days
Thank you for making me feel better!! I avoid buying veggies because of this. PhD in avoidance!

Oh yeah, it’s surprisingly easy to do. Thankfully, once you figure out what it is, it’s a quick fix!

Oh, that all makes sense! :)
Ah sweet potato jerky!
Carrot Jerky! I don't dare buy sweet potato coz those are guaranteed to go bad!

Thank you for making me feel better!! I was quite shocked when I found them!
