My Innocent Smoothie has become fizzy!

makeshiftwings · 13 Aug 2009 at 10:01

HELP!!! Last week I purchased an Innocent smoothie - brought it to work - and then left it in the fridge and forgot about it until today.
The 'Enjoy By' date is 15th August.
It has been kept in the fridge.
Why has it gone fizzy, upon tasting? Is this safe to drink??

It's full of hoverflies.

Maybe its fermenting

AHarvey · 13 Aug 2009 at 10:06

smoothies often have a use by date however they usually state "use within X days of opening"

although I have no idea what you mean when you say its gone fizzy :confused:

Seems very odd!

Fizzy? Are you sure someone isn't playing a trick on you?

I hadn't actually opened it - left it unopened in the fridge for a week or so.

By fizzy, I mean...instead of smooth, like they normally are, it now has the texture of Orangina...

You sure it's not just one of those berry ones with a bit of an acidic kick?

tisonlyme · 13 Aug 2009 at 10:08

I reckon it's probably fermenting. I've bought smoothies that have tasted off straight after opening

Just be a man, drink it and report back to us... if you are not stuck on the bog without wireless!

Drink it and make notes.

I've had this smoothie (Mangoes and Passion Fruits) many times before, and never has it tasted fizzy.

Apart from when they're talking right?

FTM · 13 Aug 2009 at 10:26

I would go with the fermenting answer

Why does coleslaw go fizzy when it goes off?

The Dread Pirate · 13 Aug 2009 at 10:27

I believe all the information you need is right here in this pamphlet

a/s/l some?

Anyway, then just be a manly lady, drink it and report the effects to us. If it goes wrong, it won't be entirely poo in a conventionaly definition of it anyway. What you got to loose? Few minutes of not working?

What have I got to...loose? Loose bowels, perhaps. And work + poo frenzy is not a good look

Cleaning your bowls are good for you from time to time. One time, I got given this green tea stuff from relatives (Like green tea, though prefer loose). Took it to work, drunk 3 cups, thought "yuck this stuff is bad". Then thought, "ugh..." Went to read what on earth I drunk, and it turned out one of those bowl clearing drinks... 1 cup a day, I drunk 3...

Was a very very funny day
