Quick watermelon ?

[kessieann]

My mom gave me 1/2 of a chilled cut watermelon yesterday and I forgot it out in my car. I remembered it this morning and put it in the fridge. Would it still be okay to eat or not?

 

[monkeyboy]

sure why not

You will get lots of varying opinions on this. But my motto, when in doubt throw it out.

How hot was the inside of your car? If it was just in there overnight while it was dark and it was cool, it's a lot less of a problem than if the inside of your car got to over 100 degrees.

Does it smell and look okay? I wouldn't worry too much about fruit. It will be noticably bad if it's bad. As long as you aren't someone who can't smell things very well, your nose should tell you.

I wouldn't eat it.

I wouldn't eat it.

Me either

A small taste and you will know. Watermelon is just that way...

 

[jahexom]

It didn't grow in a refrigerator did it? As long as it looks and smells okay, I'd eat it.

[oregonmousefan]

Please don't die. It's not worth it.

I thought you were looking for Quick Watermelons? haha, not a watermelon question

If it had been whole, I would think that you could have eaten it, but a half, ick.

 

[experiment626mom]

sounds iffy, I'd toss it out for the birds to eat.

We have a motto in our house too...if in doubt, give it to the dog

drill holes in it, fill with vodka ,leave chill over night in the fridge, it'll be good to go..

It was cut, though. I would throw it out.
And go to the grocery store and buy a new one--I bought one yesterday and it was fabulous!

Being that it was cut it has been exposed to exponential bacterial growth which is even more compounded by it being left in the car - the warmth helps the critters grow.

Throw it out... it's not worth it. I'd rather buy another watermelon for $4 to $5 than suffer from a food-related illness.

GL!

 

[kessieann]

Okay okay I'm throwing it out then

Dh is a germ phobic but I felt bad seeing that my mom had bought it and gave me half.

We have the same motto in our house too.
