You have made a fresh peanut butter and jelly sandwich. You’ve made it with that glorious extra chunky peanut butter you love and the perfect amount of jelly…what better to compliment such a treat than a tall glass of milk?
You reach for the carton and immediately your heart pounds. If you’re like me, you’re ALWAYS the one to find out the milk is bad. Usually it’s you that will pour the glass and taste it only to find its flavor resembles what you think feet would taste like, so you are forced to spew it out of your mouth and cause a big scene.
Since those in your household know of this hidden talent of yours, they ask you to do their dirty work. Namely:
“Hey, can you smell this and see if it’s bad?”
Now I love to help out my friends and family. I find a lot of joy out of making people smile and feel good. But something about asking someone to sniff something that could potentially make them vomit sends a different kind of signal.
Anyway, back to the milk.
So you reach for the carton, excited to pour a nice big glass, but your experience and wisdom tells you to stop. “Smell it,” Wisdom says in your ear. You pop it open, and sniff. You analyze the aroma you’ve just ingested.
Question #1: “Does it smell like fart?”
If the answer is YES, it has gone bad. Even if the date says you have another day, if it smells like fart, it is bad.
If NO, then you’re probably safe. If it seems to smell like nothing, you’re in! Hello delicious treat! You’re mine!
