1. honey

packs of soy sauce, actually packs of any condiment

[Spider Jerusalem]

6. Honey never goes bad outside of a refrigerator, either, though

as long as the moisture content is below 18%, it's naturally antibiotic and resistant to spoilage; it just crystallises.

2. Granite

[Cannikin]

3. Velveeta

[Catshrink]

19. I think he was talking about real food.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

4. NonDairy Coffee Creamer Substance (liquid). It will eventually get

kind of thick, but it won't sour or anything.

[yellowdogintexas]

32. well, after all, it is just coffee bleach.

Give me Halfandhalf or give me....

8. beer

[Squatch]

13. What if the beer's bad to begin with?

Like Budweiser.

Something can't "go bad" if it's already that way.

16. exactly

garbage in, garbage out

9. Hot Sauce

Maybe it can go bad but it's too hot to tell?

[texas1928]

18. I have actually had hot sauce get hotter over time.

Had one that was warm but, it got to the back of the fridge and did not see for a few months and then got it out again. That stuff would take your head off. I have never had hot sauce that was that hot, when before it was ok.

[Blue Diadem]

25. I wonder what causes it to become more concentrated..

maybe over time the full flavor and heat come out? Luckily for me, I only eat the mild stuff and that goes pretty fast..it's my kids fiery stuff that sits in there forever. I actually think one bottle's been in there for a year. I'm under strict orders not to dispose of it..even if he only uses it every few months.

10. Small children.

[mwooldri]

20. Small children are already bad if they're in the fridge.

At least in our household they are. However we're not mean, we ask 'em what they want and give it to them. Usually they're raiding carrots, hotdogs or cheese slices. Or water. (Curiously my son loves the stuff).

Mark.

23. I keep my bad ones in the freezer.

I'll thaw them out after high school.

11. Mayo? You're kidding.

It's an emulsion that sort of defines disgusting. I don't care how processed the egg yolks are, that crap is going bad before too long.

[KFC]

17. Mayonnaise Eating Record

Mayonnaise
4 32-ounce bowls mayonnaise
8 minutes
Oleg Zhornitskiy

The next time you feel so sick after a meal on campus that you need to induce vomiting, think about this: Oleg Zhornitskiy once ate 128 ounces of mayonnaise in eight minutes to win a “competitive eating” contest.

“Mayonnaise is tough,” George Shea, Chair of the International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE) told ESPN.com in 2002. “I like to say he was using the spoon God gave him. He was spooning it out of a bowl and licking it up with his tongue.”

Check, please.

12. apricot syrup

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

14. If we can only find the common property to these substances, we can

completely solve the problem of hospital acquired infections...

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

28. Mayo goes bad

really - it does
(oh and stick your ginger in the freezer and it will never go bad )

[Robb]

34. Indeed!

On the ginger, that is. I maintain mayo never goes bad...or rather, never goes worse...! :D

[Tikki]

29. A glass jar of capers..........n/t

[Nikia]

30. Several sauces and condimets

Low pH, high salt, low water activity, and the presence of antimicrobial spices can mean a a safe product for years, especially when stored in glass bottles. Some plastics start to break down under those conditions within a couple of years.

31. Boxes of baking soda!

:P

[yellowdogintexas]

33. I believe we have a winner, however

I wouldn't want to bake biscuits, pancakes or a cake with baking soda that sat open in my refrigerator for very long.

Too much aromatic stuff in there for that.

[Floogeldy]

35. Go ahead. Eat the 2002 Mayo. I dare you.

;)

[spacelady]

37. Chopped garlic in a jar?

[Yollam]

38. Mustard

Not quite forever, but it keeps a looong time.

[Monk06]

edible.

Admittedly, I'm in Florida...
