How long will a turkey sandwich last?

[edro]

I made a turkey sandwich this morning and took it to work with me. I forgot to put it in the fridge...

It is in a ziploc bag.

You think it's ok to eat? It doesn't smell like ecoli or anything

 

[jurzdevil]

go for it...you wont die

 

[minendo]

What all is on it? How long has it been sitting out? Approximately what is the room temp?

 

[Azraele]

How long has it been sitting out? A general rule of thumb is over 4 hours and it's not a good idea.

Once the temp gets much above 40, nasty stuff starts multiplying rapidly.

i say eat it..i know i would

If it has been over 5 hours then you are doomed! The sandwich has most likely attained self-awareness and is now a unique life-form. kill it now before it gains strength and attemps to get you first.

Hmmm...

It is a turkey and honey mustard sandwich. Thin sliced lunchmeat (not dry). Wheat bread. ~71F. 7am-2:55pm (8 hours)

Eat at your own risk.

He could kill it by eating it and assimulate all the knowledge it had accumilated in its lifespan.

If it hasn't been cordoned off and you don't see men in biohazard suits hanging around, I say it's still good to eat.

i'd eat it

 

[edro]

Mmmmm.... I just ate it. Tastes a little funny, but I think that's because it's warm

If I die tonight, I will have someone notify the you guys, so you feel bad for the rest of your lives.

microwave it to kill all the bad stuff.....then eat it. Just kidding, I'd just eat it.

edit: keep in mind however that I like to live dangerously

[DnetMHZ]

Rub some dirt on it and eat the damn thing.

Me too.

But then again, I have been known to eat cheese slices I dropped on the floor. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

It was probably fine, but having had food poisoning a couple of times in my life, I sure as hell wouldn't have eaten it.

I did this through all of junior high and high school and for many summers during college.

I threw up after a football game once for no apparent reason... other than maybe I had a turkey and cheese and mayo sandwich for lunch that day and then played both ways for an entire game that night. I'd blame the mayo and not the turkey, though.

You won't die even if you are poisoned... you'll just WISH you were dead. I've been food poisoned twice (both times while in Asia). It's the suxor.

Dude, read what I wrote. Food poisoning is good for you. It makes you stronger. (Unless it kills you of course)
