I'm not sure how far I wish to pursue this experiment, but while cleaning out the fridge tonight, I was particularly apprehensive about a partially used quart of Imagine organic chicken broth that I presume has been around since Thanksgiving or Christmas. ("After opening, use within seven days.")
Just to teach myself a lesson, I popped the top and gave it a sniff. No off odor whatever.
Now, perhaps it has turned into weird curds lurking below an innocent-seeming liquid phase (I haven't cut the top off yet), but I was curious whether this was a common phenomenon. Is it a miracle, or a biological weapon?
