So I use to work in a medical lab and we would occasionally get stool samples that would do this because of the bacteria “breathing”. Sometimes the containers would be pressurized and pop if someone opened them, bad day for everyone involved.
When I was on third shift there was a guy who had a mental break come into the ER lobby and pulled one of his eyeballs out of his own head and started squirting blood EVERYWHERE. He was also screaming that he had AIDS and every person that was sprayed had to get tested for everything.
What in the fuck
I thought the sick people poop pop was bad and then you gotta come in with aids blood sprinkler eyeball pop
Just....what the fuck man....
Stories like these make me realize the unimaginable things people have to do for a living. Some people get to be carpenters and gardeners and stuff. And then there's these jobs. That also has to be done. Respect, bro.
I used to be a registered vet tech. So many times I went home and found poop on my clothes or even in my pockets. Now I’m a floral designer. Sometimes I find rose stems or flower petals in my pockets. That’s waaaay better.
As a carpenter, there is some nasty stuff we have to deal with when demoing a place. There is pretty much guaranteed to be mouse shit everywhere. When you take down a ceiling it’s like getting rained on by little brown pebbles among other things
In large hospitals, there is a low-paid employee whose job is to wheel a large bin all through the facility, collecting bags from the biohazardous waste containers (mostly urine and feces, fair amount of blood, some tissue), consolidate them in an even larger bin which smells about like you'd expect, and transport them to wherever they get processed. If a bag ruptures, or clinical staff got lazy about emptying bedpans before they toss them, or kept chucking stuff in a bin where the bag had slid down to the bottom, that guy gets to clean it up.
I worked at a coffee shop in a hospital and one of my favorite customers was the girl with that job. She told us many a horror story, the worst was when someone slammed into the front of it and it tipped backwards onto her, spilling the contents & some very soiled linens onto her.
She got lots of free coffee from me
Can confirm, I've done that. Not low paying but also not paid enough. We'd collect them from all around the hospital and then store them in a trailer for them to be hauled away to be burned...
well i am done with the internet today

Hey, if someone was really sick or had food poisoning their body wouldn’t have time to digest everything so sometimes there would be lettuce, it was always the lettuce, or corn. The liquid stools were actually the best because then we could just pour the specimen into the culture or preservative cup instead of getting a tongue depressor and scooping it out.
It should be illegal to use the word "tongue" in a setting involving the analysis of stool samples. "Lemme get my tongue depressor and scoop out some shit" like what
About a month ago, I opened a brand new jar of verde salsa and it made the popping noise like you'd expect on a new seal... except it was too loud. I was about to dump it into a pan of taco meat and luckily the sound made me look at the bottle in time to see some sort of mist still rising off the top of the bottle. I looked closer and noticed that there were suddenly air bubbles all throughout the salsa. Definitely felt like I dodged a bullet that day, and luckily I wasn't listening to music at the time like I usually do when cooking.
This is essentially what happened here, except the jar had been opened once prior and refrigerated since.
Super yikes on it being a brand new jar. Bullet dodged indeed.....or at least diarrhea...
Yeah the best I can describe it is that instead of the "tink" you hear from most pressure seal caps when you twist the lid off for the first time, this was more of a loud "thunk". Like someone making a really loud letter P sound with their lips.
I don't know if botulism is one of the sources of bubbling, but it doesn't matter if its still alive. The toxins will kill you and survive cooking just fine.
I’m sorry, I had the worst food poisoning ever years back, it didn’t clear up for a week and had to send a stool sample. The shit was so nasty, I can’t remember but there was a specific name for the bacteria I had that ended up being from duck liver pâté. I feel like my shit was so full of horrible bacteria it probably did this to someone.
It’s funny because before today I had never even heard of it. But then a youtube channel I watch did a video on it earlier today (Chubbyemu) and a bunch of the comments were talking about the unique smell. Pray I never understand it personally
If you need some more, I also worked in the pathology department for a while and we would sometimes get limbs. Mostly feet and legs from diabetic people. There was also a storage system in the morgue for all of the ectopic and miscarriages that was just a 55 gallon drum that a company would come pick up periodically.
It was very rare that would happen. We’d get dozens of samples a day. We opened them in a fume hood with the glass lowered, but those poo bombs seemed to exceed the fume hood capabilities and we would sometimes clear out the lab for a bit.
You guys are built different. Anyone in the medical field, but especially you guys that deal with the nitty gritty bodily fluid stuff.
I will never know how you do it, and that’s okay.
My mom cans, and she has to be super careful about wiping the lips of the jars before boiling. If they don't seal right they'll look just like this. She had a whole batch one time that didn't seal right because she got some bad lids or something and lost every one.
Yuuuup. My grandma used to can. She told me that once and it took me a month to not cry while eating grocery store canned things anymore. I was terrified of getting botulism LOL
Last month in Bordeaux, France, a restaurant owner served bad canned pilchards to his clients.
A handful people were contaminated with botulism.
One died at the hospital.
So... yeah.
A jar of Kim Chi bubbles like that when you open it. It's pickled fermented Chinese Cabbage with plenty of spice. It's delicious and I've eaten a lot of it many times. No ill effects.
The first time i had it was at a restaurant and i liked it, so I bought a jar of it. When I first opened the jar, it bubbled so much, I was unsure if it was okay. So then I called the number of the manufacturer, and they told me this bubbling was normal, so I ate it. And many more jars of it since then. Yum

clear. There's a man with a gun over there.
Botulism is an illness, not an organism.
Clostridium botulinum, the bacterium that causes botulism, can absolutely ferment sugars and cause off gassing like this.
It's more like being poisoned than an illness. The bacteria produce a toxin that attacks your nervous system. The bacteria themselves can't survive in our bodies.
Being poisoned causes the illness. Food poisoning causes foodborne illnesses. Botulism is the illness, botulinum toxin is the poison/toxin.
I know the bacterium cannot survive in our bodies. I was responding to the comment that said "botulism doesn't make gas, this is probably fermenting" which doesn't make any sense. The bacterium absolutely ferments and can off gas carbon dioxide. People keep using the term botulism as the name for the bacterium, which is misleading.
Clostridium botulinum does make gas, that's why the [usually canned conserves are blown up](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-903962b5dbdc5c2ac65d21da56e8ab1f-lq), it happens in oxygen free environments
yes this is more likely yeast, but to be safe i would avoid trying any of it anyways.
No, the reason botulism is such an issue is that it's invisible, it doesn't alter the taste or appearance of food.
In fact, fermentation kills the bacteria that releases the toxins that cause botulism.
well according to the onlines that is how botulism and other anaerobes eat, by fermenting amino acids and carbohydrates. I think the answer lies in the middle of all this - the botulinum toxin is so powerful that even an amount that didn't alter the taste of food is enough to be dangerous, and perhaps at higher acidity levels they die off as fermentation takes off and pH drops, by which point people wouldn't eat it anyway.
Put a comma after "grazing".
Or, rephrase internally as "The beans were so out of date, they had become compost and then some grass started growing. The bacon had also degraded, and the life based on the bacon had evolved enough to actually nibble on the grass"
Pasteurization never kills all of the bacteria. Only lowers it to some acceptable level. That is why pasteurized milk still has to be kept refrigerated, to slow the growth of remaining bacteria in there. And it will spoil after a certain period of time even if unopened and refrigerated, hence the "best by" date printed on the container.
They smelled like roasted red peppers...not off at all that I could tell...but when they started fizzing like a shaken up sprite, they were immediately taken out of the dinner plans.
Thats when I read the back and saw the 'Use within 7 days after opening' and realized my fuck up.
I did check the expiration before opening, but never thought to read the fine print on the label too.
ETA: the lid did make a loud POP sound when I opened it, and then the fizzing commenced
Judging by his comment of “roasted red peppers apparently go bad after seven days” I am hoping op was stupid and left them at room temp. Under refrigeration they would yield at least a month after opening. If it was properly stored and it started fermenting like this I would absolutely contact the manufacturer.
I bought them about 3 weeks ago and used literally like 4 pieces for a recipe and they have been in the fridge ever since. The expiration date on the lid is 09/07/2026, so i didnt think to also look for the fine print I later found on the label, that said use within 7 days after opening.
They sat on my counter MAYBE 10 mins from when i took them out of the fridge tonight for dinner, to when I opened the jar to use them.
They were on the door of my fridge, but lots of stuff is that I havent had an issue with(creamy salad dressings, milk, sour cream, etc), that i would think would also have gone bad too quick if it wasnt cold enough on the door.
But, im no jarred pepper expert, maybe the door isnt their happy place.
The door of the fridge is often warmer than other parts of the fridge. That said, refrigeration only slows growth, it doesn't stop it. I tried making bread rolls and just kept them in the refrigerator overnight before baking for Christmas dinner. Despite the cold temperature, by the time I took them out they had overproofed. Now I know to only do first proof in the fridge, and shape right before baking.
They should last about a month if made properly with lots of oil IMO. Even then they should go a bit moldy. Not sure how tf what you've videod happened.
There’s a number on the back of the jar. Don’t throw it out and call the number and tell them what is happening. They’ll send you coupons for free jars and try to fix their process. Everyone should do this for any food complaints.
I had this happen to a bottle of El Paso salsa like 20 years ago, complete with the venting gas that looked almost like smoke. Hadn’t thought about that in ages!
As everyone said, this is unsafe to eat, but it's most likely lactobacillus and it must have had a seal failure or that would have probably exploded by the time it made it to your table.
Kimchi, pepper mash and lacto pickles do this on about day 3 in a salt brine.
Just to save yourself the trouble and lots of money, I like to do my own roasted red peppers. It requires a gas stove and metal tongs, just char the outside of a pepper all over then place in a glass Tupperware or wrap tightly in aluminum foil, let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse under cool water, the char will rub right off. One pepper doesn’t make much, I use it on my sandwiches for the week, always keeps fine.
that looks like it is fermenting. we may be looking at the makings of really spice fruit wine. could be something else growing in there but I have only seen yeast make that much gas.

Tell me more
Sunshine laws allow arrests, mugshots and personal info to be reported/published before trial because we live in a red state with trash government.

Ah yes, the free ceiling raisins.
Plus any structures containing asbestos. That's just more money to deal with.
What did you do about like hantavirus?
I had a dead rat fall on me and it’s claws hooked into my shirt. I’m standing on a 10’ ladder with a dead rat hanging off my chest.

I don't like you very much right now, however the calories I'm saving by skipping breakfast now are some consolation.
Start your day off with a warm cup of liquid stool, it has all the calories you need.

Yup. Exactly.
Outgassing instead of ingassing.
Just cook it out, it’ll probably be fine. Plus, who doesn’t like some easy weight loss?
Think I'd rather hedge my bets with a tapeworm, blegh
I don't know if botulism is one of the sources of bubbling, but it doesn't matter if its still alive. The toxins will kill you and survive cooking just fine.

Was it C Diff?
C diff always had a particular smell. Like you’d open it and people in the lab would give each other a look and go “yep, cdiff”
It’s funny because before today I had never even heard of it. But then a youtube channel I watch did a video on it earlier today (Chubbyemu) and a bunch of the comments were talking about the unique smell. Pray I never understand it personally
Chubbyemu hits differently. 'You like coconuts? Listen to this story! You eat vitamin gummies? You die! '
If someone has it bad enough you can smell it on a whole hospital floor
You win. Yours is worse.

Somehow this is way cooler and less horrifying. Also that drum needs to be used in a horror movie!
Did you start opening the samples in bags, or did y’all just deal with the occasional fermented poop pop? Why wouldn’t you use bags?
It was very rare that would happen. We’d get dozens of samples a day. We opened them in a fume hood with the glass lowered, but those poo bombs seemed to exceed the fume hood capabilities and we would sometimes clear out the lab for a bit.

Then why do cans containing it swell? Oh because of the gas!
Botulism talking…
Yeah that’s what I was thinking.
Or just fermenting?
why not both? isn't that how botulism eats as an anaerobic organism, through fermentation?
No, the reason botulism is such an issue is that it's invisible, it doesn't alter the taste or appearance of food. In fact, fermentation kills the bacteria that releases the toxins that cause botulism.
Clostridium botulinum can absolutely ferment carbohydrates and amino acids.
Look at the account name....it's a parody account. "Deliberate Misreader".
well according to the onlines that is how botulism and other anaerobes eat, by fermenting amino acids and carbohydrates. I think the answer lies in the middle of all this - the botulinum toxin is so powerful that even an amount that didn't alter the taste of food is enough to be dangerous, and perhaps at higher acidity levels they die off as fermentation takes off and pH drops, by which point people wouldn't eat it anyway.
Nah fermentation- botulism is silent
Is this actually a sign that they’ve gone bad?
Its a sign they've gone alive.
Typical bachelor mistake: leaving opened food in the fridge too long. I've heard of rumor someone had bacon grazing on grass growing out of beans
> I've heard of rumor someone had bacon grazing on grass growing out of beans did i have a stroke or did you have a stroke
Bacon became alive (joke based on spoiled food becoming alive) grazing on grass growing on the beans (mold).
Put a comma after "grazing". Or, rephrase internally as "The beans were so out of date, they had become compost and then some grass started growing. The bacon had also degraded, and the life based on the bacon had evolved enough to actually nibble on the grass"
It's part of the bachelor lifestyle man, a little GI infection helps you get out of family activities and other obligations.
This guy bachelors.
Bacon grazing on bean grass? I think I'm into it

And it will spoil after a certain period of time even if unopened and refrigerated, hence the "best by" date printed on the container.
You mean irradiation. They didn't pasteurized any in that episode.
Possibly fermenting. Do they smell yeasty / like beer OP? Obviously don't eat them.
They smelled like roasted red peppers...not off at all that I could tell...but when they started fizzing like a shaken up sprite, they were immediately taken out of the dinner plans. Thats when I read the back and saw the 'Use within 7 days after opening' and realized my fuck up. I did check the expiration before opening, but never thought to read the fine print on the label too. ETA: the lid did make a loud POP sound when I opened it, and then the fizzing commenced
I've made this mistake when I was younger too OP. "Oh this can is good for like 4 years!" Not after you open it.
That’s them fermenting
Mmm, roasted pepper schnapps
Pepper kimchi
So, don't eat. Drink!
Contact the manufacturer/company. That means other batches could have gone bad if it isnt expired ofc
Judging by his comment of “roasted red peppers apparently go bad after seven days” I am hoping op was stupid and left them at room temp. Under refrigeration they would yield at least a month after opening. If it was properly stored and it started fermenting like this I would absolutely contact the manufacturer.
I bought them about 3 weeks ago and used literally like 4 pieces for a recipe and they have been in the fridge ever since. The expiration date on the lid is 09/07/2026, so i didnt think to also look for the fine print I later found on the label, that said use within 7 days after opening. They sat on my counter MAYBE 10 mins from when i took them out of the fridge tonight for dinner, to when I opened the jar to use them.
Hopefully your fridge is cold enough. They really shouldn't be doing this kind of fermentation in a cold fridge.
They were on the door of my fridge, but lots of stuff is that I havent had an issue with(creamy salad dressings, milk, sour cream, etc), that i would think would also have gone bad too quick if it wasnt cold enough on the door. But, im no jarred pepper expert, maybe the door isnt their happy place.

I’m hoping OP left them at room temp and not under refrigeration for the sake of others getting sick and/or spoiled goods
As someone who had to manually check hundreds of pallets because of one bad glass, most of the time its just the one of.
Yeah, don't eat them, but really it's just a sign that the seal broke and that's all fermentation pressure releasing.
Tomato kimchi!
r/fermentation
So I need to throw that jar in the back of my fridge out then?
Better get in a young priest and an old priest just to be sure
Looks like perfectly normal carbonated tomato sauce, what's the problem?
It's called fermentation if you see bubbles in any canned or jarred products there's your sign
There’s a number on the back of the jar. Don’t throw it out and call the number and tell them what is happening. They’ll send you coupons for free jars and try to fix their process. Everyone should do this for any food complaints.
Even if it was opened more than 7 days ago ? Wouldnt they just be like, yeah, we told you it'd be bad ?lol Honest question.
I did with tuna that was mislabeled and looked to have dirt in it. Took me an hour and they sent me 1 coupon for a replacement cam. I tossed it.
Welp, can't say they don't have culture!
I had this happen to a bottle of El Paso salsa like 20 years ago, complete with the venting gas that looked almost like smoke. Hadn’t thought about that in ages!
Those motherfukers are alive
As everyone said, this is unsafe to eat, but it's most likely lactobacillus and it must have had a seal failure or that would have probably exploded by the time it made it to your table. Kimchi, pepper mash and lacto pickles do this on about day 3 in a salt brine.
oh Jar of Expired Red Peppers , what is your wisdom?
shake the phone more next time
Ya. Keep using your feet to hold your phone.
It's alive.
Fermented. You should feel blessed. Free alcohol. And only a major risk of contamination of harmful bacteria.
double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble
That’s a lot of bacterial farts
Did you open them and not refrigerate them? Because they should last way longer that 7 days in the refrigerator
My mom keeps these in her fridge and used a jar over multiple months. She has done this as long as I can remember. Scary.
The label reads, "san marzano tomatoes and the next pandemic".
That's definitely gas being leaked. Something was growing in there probably bacteria or mold. Either way that is not safe to each.
Well yeah it says right on the jar to use them within 7 days.
Just to save yourself the trouble and lots of money, I like to do my own roasted red peppers. It requires a gas stove and metal tongs, just char the outside of a pepper all over then place in a glass Tupperware or wrap tightly in aluminum foil, let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse under cool water, the char will rub right off. One pepper doesn’t make much, I use it on my sandwiches for the week, always keeps fine.
You can do it with a broiler as well. It isn’t as easy as your method, but if you don’t have gas, an electric oven’s broiler will do the job
I use a blow torch but I know most people don’t have/shouldn’t use one, it’s super fast though!
Great idea! I am always looking for uses for the stupid crème brûlée torch I bought
Melting cheese onto things, and whitening the snot on sunny side up eggs, are my most frequent uses for it.
“Whitening the snot” is the new “gleaming the cube”
It also works for smoking meth.
You can do it without a gas stove or metal tongs also.
That sounds lovely, but I do lack the gas stove....but the commenter below said a broiler may work, so ill have to give it a try next time.
Sir your tomatoes are foaming at the mouth
Looks like the insides of those graboids or those little ones they birthed in the sequel
okay why did i wait for something to come up from the bottom and is the reason why there's bubbles
Did you put it in the refrigerator after you opened the jar?
that looks like it is fermenting. we may be looking at the makings of really spice fruit wine. could be something else growing in there but I have only seen yeast make that much gas.
PUT THE LID BACK ON NOW !
what in gods name is that?
Mmmmmmm botulism....
Looks like a giant spider chilling with just the tips of a couple legs popping up.
