Will this Actimel kill me?

This afternoon i drank a medium sized bottle of actimel. It didnt taste right. And the texture was wrong. Checked the lid, and its use by date was early August.

How big is the potential for this to cause a night of stomach issues? I currently feel absolutely fine.

Maybe drink 5 yakult to counteract it?

You could drink something to make yourself sick just in case? I suggest 2 parts vinegar, 2 parts vodka, 1 part lemon juice and 1 part caustic soda.

Waste of vodka that 😂

Just reporting in. Im still alive. Will stop whinging at dh that FIL tried to murder me with expired actimel.

@DawnBreaks you are my hero 😂

@loudlylikealion sometime in the afternoon. Maybe around 4ish.

@dilligaf78 so far the ferrari isnt revving its engine. Fingers crossed it stays rumble free.

@Thatswhyimacat i didnt notice the smell initially. Just removed lid and downed it. It definitely didnt taste right, was slightly fizzy and the texture was hints of lumpy slime.

The "good" bacteria (lactobacilli and the like) in yogurt drinks can't mutate into bad ones, that's not a thing! You'll be fine. The only time things like this are not OK to drink if they're time-expired is if they've grown mould.

Lasttraintolondon · 04/09/2022 22:23

You'll be fine. I regularly drink these way out of date.

Sorry Shirley! my message was cut off, but i approve of you using my stomach as a chemistry experiment beaker.

Call 111 just to be on the safe side

And we wonder why the NHS is screwed

I would call a fire engine as well- just in case you spontaneously combust

Best before not due after

My kids thought you weren't part of our family if you hadn't drunk out of date actimel, my middle son saw it as a challenge and drunk it two weeks out of date, said it was fizzy but survived!

if you survive maybe we could experiment further at a later date for science purposes

DeathByActimel · 04/09/2022 22:30

I think i need all the emergency services. Especially police. Because Actimel of August was supplied by FIL. Which is attempted murder? Or poisoning? Or somensort of crime surely?

I once gulped down milk that had gone sour, I had sinsititus at the time so couldn't smell or taste much.

It wasn't till I "chewed" something did I realise and checked the date.

🤮🤮

However, nothing happened, not even a brief episode of the runs. Our stomachs appear to be rather good with all that acid in it to kill shit. Lol

DeathByActimel · 04/09/2022 22:32

@askgoogle 2 weeks, pah - amateur. This bad boy was a whole month beyond old. I can confirm there was a slight fizz/tingle sensation going on

I ate a pizza many years ago, complete with the polystyrene base. I'm still here. ;-)

Are you my brother? 🤣

or maybe because people believe everything they read on the internet

DeathByActimel · 04/09/2022 22:40

@CaptainBarbosa i would be reassured by your tale of surving chewing milk, however i have watched your movie and I'm aware you are a cursed pirate that cant die!

I am the daughter of a grocer and was raised on out of date food. It wasn’t until I left home that I realised coleslaw was not supposed to be fizzy!
