* [["Weird Al" Yankovic (Music)|Weird Al Yankovic]] has tackled this trope for a couple of songs:
** Quoted above is "Livin' in the Fridge". The line "It's been there since July!" becomes doubly gross if you're listening to the song in the middle of the year.
** "Trash Day" goes quite over-the-top in places, but is not as memorable.
Line 198:
* [http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/weird/Pee-Yew-Get-Out-of-the-Building.html This office fridge] sat for a few months unplugged and stuffed full of leftovers; when someone finally opened it and started cleaning it out, the food reacted with cleaning agents creating poisonous fumes and sent twenty eight people to the hospital. They had to call in a ''hazmat team'' to finish the job.
* Danish stand-up comedian Thomas Wivel once joked that when he was a bachelor he only opened the fridge to feed the cheese.
* After Hurricane Katrina, many people returned home weeks or months later and, if they were cautious or forewarned, duct-taped their fridges shut without opening them and put them on the curb to be picked up. [
** In the New Orleans episode of ''[[No Reservations]]'', there's footage of someone cleaning out a walk in freezer after returning from Katrina. Imagine the above, ''but room sized.''

* According to Roma folk legends, watermelons and pumpkins become vampires after being kept for a certain period of time.

It was crunchy, so he turned on the light to see why, since he didn't recall buying tapioca pudding. It ''wasn't'' tapioca; once upon a time it was ''chocolate''. Travis now checks his pudding before he eats it.
* Historic example from the days before fridges: an entire American village once decided to pool milk from all the cows in town to make [
** The cheese was said to be quite good though and lasted over a year.
* Kefir, a dairy product derived from granular lumps like those of cottage cheese, contains a diverse assortment of bacterial and fungal life. Left to ferment in milk, kefir grains will grow, then divide like living cells, of their own accord.
