I have something quite unidentifiable in my refridgerator. Its in one of my good tupperware containers, and I’m running a little short right now, and I could really use it.
Unfortunately, as I said, there appears to be quite the experiment growing in there.
How in the world should I get rid of this? Do I throw the whole thing out and chalk it up as a loss to the gods of leftovers? Is there an exorcism I can perform? Will soap and water be adequate?
Please help!
I toss 'em. That’s just me, though. 
You are kidding right?
Just suck up your nausea, scrape the gook out, wash the thing. Let it soak in dishwasher soap if you are worried, and when its all clean looking - if you are still in doubt, pour boiling water over it.
Or feed it to Mr Cynical… I hear he eats bad mushrooms!
Large doses of ionizing radiation is my recomendation. Zap that thing with a couple 100,000 sunshine units of high energy gamma rays.
At least try. But dump the experiment in a plastic bag outside with hose ready. You want to spread those smelly molecules out as fast as possible.
Rinse empty tupperware. Repeat. Over and over. Invoke the name of the Great God Palmolive to exorcise those evil experiment molecules totally from your innocent but overworked Tupperware.
After you’ve done this about a hundred times, take the now only somewhat sullied Tupperware in, and give it a good wash, perhaps letting it soak in the loving care of the Great God Palmolive. A final rinse and an upside-down laying on the drainer to give this poor dear Tupperware time to reclaim its’ burpable soul.
It’s not worth it, man.
Keep that sucker fully sealed and dispose of with contents intact. Double bag the trash and place it in the can outside, but only if you have a metal trashcan, with a secure lid. You don’t want that shit getting out.
Buy nothing but those cheapo Tupperware things from now on. Y’know, the ones made by Ziploc or Glad, they come 5 for about $2.50. Then when this happens, you don’t feel bad about throwing away a $4.99 real tupperware container.
As far as I’m concerned, “Gladware” is the greatest invention of the last decade.
Let the thing evolve to the point it develops locomotion, then induce climatic change (take it out of the fridge). This historically has been the best way to get a species to turn migrant.
And for Cecil’s sake don’t let it discover agriculture or fermentation. If it does that, it’ll get all sedentary and start building city-states.
And then come the civil rights marches…
You can come to my hospital and use my gas sterilizer.
For Palmolive’s sake, folks, this is TUPPERWARE. Almost as indestructable as Nalgene. I, for one, have more faith in our chemical companies to produce a plastic that can overcome the stinky invasion by mere fungus or anaerobic bacteria or whatever creeping crud you’ve got there.
After you scrub it out with dish detergent, soak it in your dishpan (or sink) in a bleach solution. This works for sippy cups of chocolate milk which have spent enough time under the sofa to have made cheese, so it should work for you.
Nice visual Robin - <gag>!
Napalm.
Take it out into the backyard and shoot all of the crud out with a garden hose, then bleach the holy hell out of it. Aftwards: Gladware.
I don’t know why I save leftovers in the first place. Both hubby and I don’t like reheated food, and never eat them. I guess it’s because of my mother who always nagged at me to remember the starving children in Africa when I didn’t finish my dinner. (As if the thought of starving children would boost my appetite.) Still, we cook, and I always shove the leftovers into Gladware, and tuck them into the 'fridge, where they sit and ferment until it’s Clean Out Day, and then into the garbage disposal they go.
It just scares me to think about it. Here I am, safe at work, and there it is at home. With access to the dog, not to mention all those groceries I just bought yesterday. It better not corrupt the poor, innocent Sunny D. The Sunny D didn’t do anything wrong! I just discovered it last night, I don’t know how I got to sleep. Aweful!
To be on the safe side, you’d best throw out the entire fridge. 
Crikey, I wouldn’t want to do that. Its in the lease!
Glad I’m not the only mother that discovers cottage cheese in sippy cups!!
As for the Tupperware, as long as there’s not tomato based, um, stuff growing in it (it discolors the dish) I would dump the stuff in the trash and rinse the bowl and then soak it in dishsoap/bleach water for a little while. After it’s done soaking, empty the dishsoap/bleach water and wash it in really hot water with dishsoap. Rinse it with really hot water and then rinse it again in really cold water. That takes the smell out of the plastic.
I used to have about $400 worth of Tupperware for storing leftover foods. When I lived by myself I had a hard time cooking for just one person so I always seemed to have a ton of leftovers. I would let them fester in the fridge for months and instead of cleaning them I would throw them away!! Needless to say, I don’t buy Tupperware containers anymore. I buy Gladware!!
Just don’t let PETA know about what you’re planning to do now that it’s become an evolved lifeform. Those felchers have nothing else better to do now than send a few of their wackos over to your place to protest.
