Mold in drinks

I just bought this new Special K chocolate mocha drink and when I opened it, there was black, fuzzy mold on the bottle. I'm sure that this can happen to any food. It happened to me once with orange juice, too. Ever since then, I've been careful about looking at the bottle before I drink from it. I think most people probably just open the bottle and drink from it without looking. Just an FYI.

Eew. Make sure you contact Kellogg's and send in a complaint. Usually they'll send you a coupon for a free replacement.0

This happened to me with cheese. Riddled with blue mold!0

This happened to me when I was a kid, haven't drank snapple since haha.
I think it's something that is more common with glass containers, if the top is slightly malformed it won't be airtight and debris can get in.
Supposedly it's harmless, but disgusting nonetheless.0 -

The cheese I bought had holes in it! Maybe I should take it back.0 -

@Ninkyou I'll probably just take it back to the store.
@sabur It was in a plastic bottle, which is probably how it happened.0 -

These two things were intentionally funny. That said, thanks for the warning. I have experienced similar things with food!0 -

Yeah, I thought the first person was joking, and went off on both of them bc I thought that the 2nd person was saying that I overreacted or it was no big deal. I thought that they were being MFP bullies. Sorry.

i grabbed a bagel once and started eating it without looking at it... took a couple of bites, something felt odd in my mouth. so i looked at the bagel and sure enough, i'd bitten into a patch of fuzzy mold.
instant heaves. followed by 10-15 minutes of gargling and washing my mouth out with water. now i inspect food before i put it in my mouth.

I think this problem is more common than we might think and is yet another reason not to consume factory manufactured drinks. Suggest it would be better to buy the fresh ingredients and make your own drinks, yes, it's time consuming and more expensive but the bonus is that you also get to control the fat and sugar content, not to mention eliminating chemical additives!0

Foods without preservatives grow mold a lot faster. Just sayin'.0 -

That was you going off on someone? You are very mild.0 -

Wow... I must be more Canadian than I thought. Because, I immediately 'assumed' that everyone here was spelling 'mold' wrong... that it was 'mould...' then, with a quick Google... I see that even Canadians don't seem to be able to make up their minds about this one....0

Canadians have a thing for throwing in unnecessary "U's" into everything.0

Oh barf. I actually ate a twinkie once (while drunk). Thought it tasted a little strange. The next morning I noticed the others had little blue flecks on them. Sickening!0 -
Sense of humor is slow to develop with some folks...I totally loved the moldy cheese thing! :laugh:
I never grab food in the dark after putting a cracker in my mouth once that had ANTS on it! HATE ANTS!!!! I go ballistic on them little buggers!0 -
I don't rinse off soda cans, but people have died because things like rat piss get left on the lids from the warehouses.0

So glad I rewrote humour for Americans.....I lived just 2 miles south of the Quebec line growing up and still write that way sometimes! It's the English too.....0 -

It CAN be a big deal, healthwise, but not always.
My daughter called me, distraught that she had discovered moldy grapes in her middle child's fruit and yogurt parfait from McD's. AFTER her eldest son had already eaten all of his.
She was in a panic, concerned about the health impact of her child consuming rotten fruit. Tongue-in-cheek, I explained that people have been consuming rotten grapes ON PURPOSE for many years...we like to call it "wine".
Bread mold and fruit mold are likely harmless, and in fact, by-products of these little organisms are instrumental in the good health we enjoy today. (Can you say "penicillin"?)0 -

That's not possible, is it? I heard that Twinkies have an unlimited shelf life.0 -

That's not possible, is it? I heard that Twinkies have an indefinite shelf life.
I wish, but this is a true story. Icky.0 -
Yes I believe it. The kids juice boxes (capri suns, Koolaid jammers) have it in them all the time. The parents give it there kids and they put that straw in there and you never know cause your children don't know. I only know cause my friend drank one and stringy mold came out the straw..SO GROSS needless to say I never bought them again.0

Would organic rotting food be paleo?0 -

Moldy food tastes bad. But it probably won't hurt you unless you are inhaling it literally.
At least it wasn't mold in your injectable drug therapy applied directly to your spine!
And it's a really good thing you did not notice mold in your protein shake by looking in your menstrual cup!0 -
Something similar happen to me with a Snapple drink. I opened it up, big, fat, nasty maggot attached to the top of the inside lid. Ughh. I couldn't drink Snapple for weeks. Now I always CHECK EVERYTHING! Just thinking about it makes my stomach turn.0
