What's the oldest thing in your fridge?

[Blue-Jay]

Me? I have a cornish game hen in the freezer that came with the apartment nearly two years ago. I wonder how long it was there before I moved in?

I don't plan on eating it, but it'll make a damn fine projectile to lob at a robber, should the opportunity arise. That thing is frozen solid!

1. 4 month old potato salad

[Catch22Dem]

2. I think a jar of hot pickled veggies

Has been in there for a very long time. I'd say 2 years easily.

[Demonaut]

3. I think the last guy was eighteen

oh...food?

[MuseRider]

4. 4 jars of Dill Pickles.

I don't know why but my husband buys dill pickles every time he goes to the store, big jars and I know the oldest has to be about 2 years old. He never eats them but just does not want to be without them for some reason. Don't even get me started on the light bulb collection he has.

5. A bottle of cheap Spumante I got from the Realtor when I bought my

house in September 1995.

6. Chinese from a few hours ago

I just moved back into my dorm room. Is that cheating?

[Beware the Beast Man]

7. Vodka from my wedding night

Mrs. Beast Man, on a whim decided to make jello shots for the reception. They tasted more like Ny-Quill shots, but hey, it was festive! :party:

8. French's Mustard

7 years old, I believe

[DemWitch]

9. there's a lemon that has actually dehydrated...

I don't know why I leave it there... it's the only thing on the one shelf... it's just a part of the family now I guess....

[Demonaut]

12. WILSON!!!!!

do you talk to it?

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

21. I had one of those too, but I threw it out recently

The fridge is pretty clean, but in my spice rack I have a box of nutmeg I bought almost 30 years ago.

[LastDemocratInSC]

10. The lightbulb

[MrScorpio]

11. Grandma

Since daddy Norman is no longer around, taking care of her fell to me.

[flamingyouth]

13. Probably a bottle of Thai fish sauce

Keeps for a long time.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

14. Unfortunately, NOTHING is over 2 weeks old

Our refrigerator stopped cooling food the night before we moved my husband to Dallas, and someone turned off the freezer before we went out of town, so I had to pitch EVERYTHING when I returned from Dallas and buy new food the next day. The most awful thing I had to pitch was a container of garlic paste that completely funkified the refrigerator, the garbage disposal and the dishwasher because I stupidly tried to wash the container instead of throwing it as far away as I possibly could. I don't mind some garlic in food, but this garlic paste was an entity! It was the beast!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. Probably the iron

gotta be a few billion years old

Though it could be the carbon

I can't remember the history of universal creation of the elements.

[BrotherBuzz]

16. A five and a half year old easter egg...

orange in color and all the stuff inside just rattles around. ...We're trying to figure out what to do with it (reluctant to just toss it). Any ideas?

[5thGenDemocrat]

17. Does the freezer count?

As a former hockey writer, I have quite a collection of pucks I sto--, er, I appropriated from one franchise or another over the years (say, six or eight pucks). I store them in the freezer so they won't bounce should I ever feel like actually using them.

The oldest is from 1994-95.

[Guy Fawkes]

18. 20 (at least) year old bottle of jam. Don't worry...

it's in the freezer.

[stranger_with_candy]

19. A bottle of rolling rock

from 1997 that has moved with me twice.

[Magrittes Pipe]

20. Walt Disney's head.

I bought this chest freezer at a foreclosure sale, and, well....

[ze_dscherman]

22. It didn't tell me yet

First it started to grow hair, and then some eyes that glow in the dark. Then it started to move, crawling away when I tried to catch it. When I gave that up, it became quite tame. It's been making strange noises since some weeks, and called me "mama" the day before yesterday (although I'm male).

Guess it will tell me how old it some time next week.

[Gothic Sponge]

23. An 11 month old box of baking soda.

[SarahB]

24. Frozen breastmilk from 2001.

I can't seem to part with it. The last remnant of babyhood in my house.

[noonwitch]

25. Nothing's over a year old, I threw everything out during the blackout

There might be some frozed veggies that are about a year old.

[ProfessorGAC]

26. The Light Bulb

My wife and i tend to let the fridge get REAL cluttered, then every other garbage day, purge it. So, except for maybe salad dressing, we don't keep stuff for long.

We don't have leftovers very often either, because we have a 110# dog and a 10# cat that will both eat ANYTHING.

So, i'm going with the light bulb.

27. A bottle of hoisin sauce

I'm afraid of how old that is. I'm pretty sure we moved it here. We've lived here for almost five years.
