Eating uncooked hot dogs will kill you. Or give you a dangerous dose of food poisoning.
It is possible get Listeria from uncooked hot dogs.
Or from bologna, but in both cases, it’s not a typical thing by any means. One time there was a recall of Winn-Dixie bologna because of possible Listeria contamination. I had to take back an unopened one-pound package and the few slices left in another package for a refund. I guess my packages weren’t bad. If eating unheated hot dogs out of the package was dangerous, I wouldn’t have made it out of elementary school. They were my favorite!
I keep hearing people say that green bell peppers are non-poisonous and taste good.
Where do his testicles rank, size-wise, with past boyfriends?
Or any deli meats. It’s not something I’d worry about.
And don’t open the microwave door as soon as it turns off. There are still microwaves bouncing around inside, and if they escape through the open door they can sterilize you.
I wanted to mention that we in foodservice can get bulk mayonnaise from Sysco in two packaging formats: sealed 30-pound buckets, or a cardboard box lined with a plastic bag containing the 30# of mayo, and the plastic bag is not sealed. Both are delivered unrefrigerated, and can be stored unrefrigerated. The bucket packaging is preferred, because hey, free buckets, and it’s easier to scrape the last of the mayo out of a bucket than to squeeze it out of a big plastic bag.
The “unrefrigerated” part only becomes a hassle when we end up with a substitute driver who delivers it directly to the kitchen, and we’re left to pack 150 pounds of mayonnaise back down to the downstairs walk-in cooler that the driver passed on his way to the elevator.
This is, indeed, a myth. The fact is that “Beer tastes AWESOME.”
No, it’s biting your fingernails and swallowing them that gives you appendicitis.
In fact, when doctors remove an inflamed appendix, they shake it. If it rattles like maracas, then the doctor knows it was fingernails that caused the problem, and not something else.
Glad to clear that up.
Mom said drinking milk while eating fish would give you a terrible stomach problem and maybe kill you,
These two posts demonstrate how persistent these food myths can be. Lima beans taste like shit, and beer tastes worse than lima beans.
Make you a deal: You have some limas from my favorite fish restaurant, and I’ll try anything (non-spicy–tummy issues) you love that I hate (think sauerkraut, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower). Or, we can just sit around and disparage beer (not a fan, either).
Another one with a tiny grain of truth, but that got really distorted along the way.
Refeeding Syndrome is a condition that happens when people who have been seriously starved or malnourished start being fed. Apparently it causes metabolic disturbances that can cause fatal cardiac arrythmias.
But it’s not “a while”- it’s like Bataan Death March or Nazi concentration camp type starvation that causes it.
“Chocolate milk has no nutritional value whatsoever, because although the milk itself contains calcium, there is something in the chocolate that completely neutralizes the calcium. Therefore, chocolate milk is purely bad for everybody. Unlike regular milk.”
Which makes me think of “Rabbit Starvation.”
Quite seriously, I was surprised yesterday to read that there is no science to support the contention that bananas solve magnesium deficiencies.
To add to that, the notion that organic foods are somehow more nutritious and “healthy” than their conventionally grown counterparts.
Yeah, I’m reasonably sure if your utensil has shit on it you shouldn’t put it in any jars :smack:
5 second rule is not a myth although it is misunderstood. It applies to social judgement not to sanitation.
