Would you take a jar of salsa out of the bin?

Clearing the cupboard before and found a half jar of salsa that we’ve had for around a week, so I thought it may be off (wasn’t but I chucked it anyway)
Have now realised that I want a plate of nachos to myself later when Dh does bedtime (we alternate) as have cheese, sour cream, guacamole etc…but no salsa.
Salsa is essential, isn’t it 🤷🏻‍♀️
Would you take a jar of salsa that you’ve thrown away out of the bin or is that gross?
The jar is obviously fastened and so far no other crap thrown in with it, but it just feels 🤮 but I really need salsa on nachos 🙈🤣
would it be unreasonable to take them out, would you?

I'd do it. Go on, do it.

ThatBliddyWoman · 21/10/2022 18:01

It's meant to be kept in the fridge once opened
But yes I would.

Home made is much nicer nicer simple but takes time :)

Whizzi24 · 21/10/2022 18:02

I would!

ClairyFlare · 21/10/2022 18:02

Of course

Wordsofthewise · 21/10/2022 18:02

I would but I would wash the jar, just because it would make me feel better 🤣

QuestionableMouse · 21/10/2022 18:03

Nope. But my bin has dog poop and dirty cat litter in it!

I just don't think I could enjoy eating something that's been in the bin!

thelobsterquadrille · 21/10/2022 18:04

Of course, it's not like the inside of the jar came into contact with the bin!

Worthyornot · 21/10/2022 18:04

Grim. I wouldn't.

Fuwari · 21/10/2022 18:06

Psychologically I couldn’t even though it would probably be fine. If you can stomach it, go for it!

Blueeyedgirl21 · 21/10/2022 18:07

Can you not just nip to the shop
even a nisa/paper shop type place sells the Dorito salsa dip

RonSwansonsChair · 21/10/2022 18:08

I would, but I probably wouldn't tell anyone 😆

girlmom21 · 21/10/2022 18:08

I would!

Surely not in your indoor bin?

Sprig1 · 21/10/2022 18:09

Of course, just give it a rinse under the tap.

Avastmehearties · 21/10/2022 18:10

I'd do it!

catless · 21/10/2022 18:11

I would too.

Fridayfundays · 21/10/2022 18:17

@ThatBliddyWoman Actually…I could do that and I used to before I had a child and cba anymore.
I have cherry tomatoes, garlic, onions, olive oil…what else, I’ve forgotten? What’s the herb?

Why didn’t you recycle the jar instead of throwing it in the bin?

If she'd done that she definitely wouldn't be having salsa on her nachos, though 🤷🏻‍♀️

illiterato · 21/10/2022 18:30

Do you mean that shelf stable salsa that is on the normal shelves in the supermarket? That lasts literally months in the fridge, just for future reference.

Fridayfundays · 21/10/2022 18:32

@illiterato Yes 🤣 although it was in the cupboard, no idea why as never put it in there. This prompted the thought that a week is too long and it must be off 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why was it in a cupboard? It’s meant to go in the fridge.

Iwantmyoldnameback · 21/10/2022 18:33

I would not have thrown it in the first place so definitely a yes from me.

luxxlisbon · 21/10/2022 18:33

Who thinks a jar of salsa that lives in the cupboard would be off after a week?!
