I learned my lesson...

A message to everyone: Don't be a hero, especially when it comes to dairy products.
Last night, I was hungry, and saw an unopened carton of cottage cheese in the fridge, which is yummy. I checked te expiration date, which was 2B MAY 05. This made me wonder if that was the expiration date at all, because usually cheese doesn't last a whole year, even in the fridge. But I opened it anyway, and saw that the top was kind of...brown...and there was a red blotch. I sniffed it, and it was foul. I dug my spoon in and mixed it up a bit, hoping that it was just the top that was disgusting, but the stuff underneath was fine. It was white, like it's supposed to be, but it smelled absolutely rotten.
Here is where I was a moron.
Most people would follow their nose and come to the conclusion that the cottage cheese was well beyond its edible days and should be thrown out. Not me, though. I was ever so curious, so I stuck my tongue out and touched it to the white goop on the spoon. I didn't taste anything, so I pressed my tongue onto one of the little cheese curds.
YUCK!
There was rotten cheese on my tongue and the roof of my mouth! I thought I was going to die, it tasted so bad. I dashed into the kitchen, tongue sticking out of my mouth so I wouldn't taste to much of it, and rinsed my mouth out in the sink. After gargling water about fifty times, I finally got rid of the taste. It was absolutely nasty. It was so gross! Ughh, why didn't I just throw it out in the first place.
Well. Curiousity killed the Kat.
