Safe to eat?

[flowbee]

I bought a Chipotle Chicken Ciabatta (grilled) sandwich at Jack in the Box last night but forgot it on my living room table when I left town for a day. I'm coming back tomorrow....Do I throw it away because it's been sitting out for about 36 hours or microwave it and eat it? That is the question. Do you think I'll get sick? Food and money is a terrible thing to waste.

[rskapcat]

I would vote against it. Who knows what kinds of ick is growing in that chicken RIGHT NOW?

[Hannahrain]

So is stomach acid. Throw the damn thing away. What do those cost, like eight cents? Get a new one.

[marooko]

not anymore sick than if you ate it right after you bought it.

[flowbee]

It cost close to $5 after taxes.

[menikmati]

avoid peanut butter while you're at it

[kreutz2112]

I'd eat it if I were you. Quit being a pussy.

[CalmerThanYou]

theres enough preservatives where it should be good to eat after a week of sitting there.

eat up

then post pics or it didnt happen.

You can eat it as long as you eat it in the waiting room of your nearest hospital.

Yeah eating mayo that's been sitting out for 36 hours....real smart.

[marooko]

its prob. not "real" mayo. he'll be ok.

[PotVsKtl]

It's not got any mayo on it, just delicious chipotle spread. Eat it.

True.

Anybody that's stupid enough to think it's ok to eat chicken that's been sitting at room temperature for more than 3 hours deserves to get sick.



At my old job, I worked with this total loser that was the janitor/maintenace man. On Sundays, we would always order pizza and wings and throw out the leftovers at the end of the night. One Monday morning, he went to empty the trash and discovered some chicken wings in the garbage. He pulled them out of the trash, threw them in the fridge, and then ate them at lunch. He also offered them to other people that were on lunch as him at the same time-they all thought the wings were ok because they were cold when they touched them.

They all got violent food poisoning and were out for days.

It is never a good idea to anything from Jack In The Box, but you deserve to get sick for buying it in the first place so eat it. Bon appetite!

[gaypalmsprings]

give it to the baby

They were in the fucking garbage. Chicken does not go bad in 3 hours.

Ahahaha.


36 hours at room temperature is too long for even such a preservative filled sandwich. Not getting sick is worth way more than $5.

[Pixiessp]

If the people who prepared your food had any kind of germs on their hands(and you know they do) you will become ill. Especially allowing the food to sit out that long. I can no longer even look at a Del Taco after my bout with food poisoning.

[feather]

I have a certificate in food safety and I can attest:

DO NOT EAT THIS SANDWICH. (Food kept at the incorrect temperature exceeding 4 hours is to be thrown out)

[flowbee]

OK I'm just gonna give it to a bum that asks for handouts then.

[captncrzy]

It was in the garbage 12 hours. Not 3.

And yes, meat standing at room temperature begins to grow bacteria around the three hour mark.

I bet you're one of those people that doesn't let kids eat food off the floor.

[PotVsKtl]

Here's a tip for training your body to eat what you damn well please: Stop buying antibacterial soap.

[bug on your lip]

[real talk]

Americans are wimps and get wimpy food poisoning because they oversterilize their lives.

But by all means, continue to throw away your food, the homeless appreciate it.

Tile-yes. Carpet-yes. Bathroom tile-no.

Fact.
