It’s Rotten I Tell you!



For the past decade, I have worked with dozens of police departments, the Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S. military. I have researched body-worn camera programs and conducted countless implicit bias courses. While these solutions to police brutality matter, they fall short of dealing with the rotten trees because they focus on the bad apples.


Hanging on to leftovers is a great way to plan meals on the cheap and avoid wasting food, but from lazy-night lo mein to the last scraps of a Christmas feast, everything has a shelf life. In the absence of expiration dates, sometimes it takes a little culinary detective work to tell if leftovers have seen better days.




It’s rotten I tell you!



While the spiky tropical fruit might not have the same exorbitant price tag it had centuries ago, no one likes cutting into one, only to find that it's rotten and needs to be chucked. But the good news is that there are a few signs that will let you know when a pineapple has gone bad.


If you can't tell whether your pineapple has gone bad from its appearance, scent, or texture and decide to cut into it, flesh that's mostly brown and mushy is a telltale sign that it's rotten and should be discarded. However, if you only see a few brown spots, you may be able to cut these parts away and still enjoy the pineapple without any issue (via eHow).


Spoilage bacteria are the most common culprits of eggs turning rotten. Once these bacteria, which are common in the coop environment, manage to traverse the shell and enter the egg, they begin to multiply. These organisms cause the insides of the shell to spoil and rot.


Dr. Frederick Frankenstein : Let me out. Let me out of here. Get me the hell out of here. What's the matter with you people? I was joking! Don't you know a joke when you hear one? HA-HA-HA-HA. Jesus Christ, get me out of here! Open this goddamn door or I'll kick your rotten heads in! Mommy!


Like most types of produce, overripe pineapples that are approaching going rotten usually look a bit drier on the outside than fresh ones. The leaves in their crown may have turned brown or brittle and could even be falling out on their own. On top of that, the bottom of the pineapple will usually be soggy or wet, where the juices inside have begun to pool.


For detecting rotten eggs, use your nose. The smell is a result of a hydrogen sulfide gas built up inside eggs as it ages and breaks down, and is a dead giveaway that it has gone bad. Any eggs that produce this smell should be thrown out immediately.


To identify a rotten or old egg before cracking it open, the easiest thing to do is the float test. Place the egg in a glass of water. Fresh eggs will sink to the bottom, while bad eggs will float. (And should be thrown out.) If the egg sinks but rests with the wider end facing up, it is older, but still OK to cook with and eat.


Sight, smell and touch are your tools when it comes to spotting a rotten pumpkin. Look for damage to the pumpkin skin and soft or discolored spots. The pumpkin should feel firm and possess a hard skin. Smell the pumpkin, especially the stem and blossom ends. You'll notice an unpleasant odor at the ends first if the pumpkin is overripe.


Eggs are a good source of protein and other essential nutrients. In this article, we look at some straightforward ways to tell whether an egg is safe to eat or not. We also discuss how long they stay fresh, whether to refrigerate them, and the health risks of eating a bad egg.


First, check the color of the florets. They should be a bright, uniform green. If they have any yellow or brown spots, that's a sign your broccoli is starting to spoil. If you notice fuzzy white or black patches growing on the florets or the stem, that tells you that mold is starting to form, and it's time to toss it.


A rotten tooth can cause a lot of pain, and if your rotten teeth are visible, you might even feel embarrassed. Fortunately, plenty of options exist for fixing rotten teeth. If you are experiencing tooth decay, make an appointment to see your dentist immediately for an examination and treatment. While you wait for your appointment, learn more about the causes, symptoms, treatment, and prevention for rotten teeth.


A cavity can appear on your teeth with no signs or symptoms, so it's essential to see your dentist regularly to check on your oral health and catch tooth decay in the earliest stages. However, as the decay worsens, you might recognize some of these rotten tooth symptoms:


What do you do about rotten teeth? Rotten teeth treatment depends on the stage of tooth decay. If you're dealing with a few cavities, your dentist can stop further damage with some fillings. However, if the infection has reached the pulp, you might require a root canal to restore the tooth. When the cavity becomes so large, it weakens the tooth structure; the dentist can create a crown to protect the rest of the tooth.


Sometimes your dentist cannot save badly rotten teeth and must extract them. Your dentist can replace the rotten tooth with an implant or dental bridge. Or, if you need an entire set of upper or lower teeth, dentures are also an option.


With these few steps, you can erase all worries about your teeth rotting out. However, if you already feel rotten teeth pain or see the signs of rotting teeth, visit your dentist today. Your dental professional can address your tooth decay and take the necessary steps to save your smile and protect your overall health.


Tooth decay is rather rare in canines. In fact, according to the Merck Veterinary Manual, "Dental caries [which we know as cavities], or bacterial infections of the teeth, are common in people, uncommon in dogs, and essentially nonexistent in cats." Cavities are the primary reason for rotten teeth in dogs (humans, too) but only affect about 10 percent of canines.


How are rotten teeth possibly connected with periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, in dogs? A buildup of plaque and tartar might be severe enough to cause problems, but there's not a set series of stages for dog tooth decay like with periodontal disease.


In rare cases, decayed teeth are removed because of severe gum disease, or a fracture compromised the center of a tooth, known as the pulp. There are a couple of methods veterinary dentists use for extraction. Under no circumstances should you ever attempt to pull a dog's rotten tooth at home yourself.
