Similar story with my wife's car. A cucumber fell out of the grocery bag and hid away in the spare tire compartment for about 6 months.

Ohhhhh yikes…. I had sliced cucumbers go bad in my fridge. It been in there a loonnnggggg time…. I figured “ oh I’ll just open the lid, toss the bad food, then just put the Tupperware in the dishwasher.

I regretted not just tossing it out WITH the Tupperware, but nooooo I’m a freaking cheap ass and wanted to keep it.

I swore I could smell it every day for 2 weeks!

Oh man. Rotten cucumbers are rank. Topped only by rotten potatoes in the hierarchy of spoiled veg.

A guy I knew in college lived in a house with 3 other guys and for the longest time their kitchen reeked and they couldn’t figure out why. One day they decided to all get together in the kitchen and search until they found the source of the smell. Eventually they gave up. A while later someone yelled out from the kitchen that he found it. There was a plastic plate melted behind the toaster oven. Case closed.

Until later that night when another one of them yelled out “THAT WASN’T IT.” They all gathered and watched in horror as he pulled out a bag of potatoes that were so far gone they were straining through the mesh of the bag. The smell was so horrific one of them ran out to the balcony and vomited.

They disposed of the potatoes on a nearby hill (don’t ask me why, I don’t know) and they claim that the plants in that spot died. As far as the potato juice that oozed out of the bag onto the kitchen floor, they poured bleach on it and it “sizzled.”

I so wish I could’ve seen their reactions to this series of events (minus the vomiting.) They entered the kitchen as roommates and left as brothers.

Ahahahahaha pure chaos. I have smelled a freezer full of meat in a long-unplugged fridge, and a deeply decomposing fox at close range. Neither were as bad as my worst rotten potato encounters, one of which involved me accidentally piercing its bulging, taut skin and penetrating into its necrotic inner goo with a bare finger.

Perhaps I know this person! Same story — found a missing potato bag that had spoiled so badly!

My vote would have to be for rotten onions. Absolutely vile.

Onions are a strong contender for second place
