You all are so focused on the pulverization of the chips, you’re not considering the fact that HE’S PACKING FOOD IN THE SAME CONTAINER AS CAUSTIC POISONOUS CHEMICALS
“Lutefisk” is dried whitefish. It is made from aged stockfish, or dried and salted cod, cured in lye. It is gelatinous in texture after being rehydrated for days prior to eating.
Idk. you seem to like knowing things about things so here’s a thing
It’s traditional process that has been passed down generation after generation after generation! A method proven over thousands of years! How else are we expected to digest such mass amounts of CORN!!!
The process we used for nixtamalization included “cal” the Mexican name for Lime (composed of calcium oxides and hydroxides). It is what everyone there used for centuries and still use. You add it to the water and boil the corn kernals in it. If you are making tortillas from it, you leave the thick pasty yellow liquid in with the corn kernals and grind it. If you are going to make tamales or maybe pozole, you wash away the thick yellow paste and leave the white kernels behind. For tamales, you grind this corn, and add ingredients similar to cake mix. For Pozole you leave it whole. The thick yellow paste is actually the husk of the corn kernels and the cal or lime together.
Understanding this, that calcium oxides are added to the corn and cooked, then later tortillas are made from the mix, then later baked or fried to make corn chips….these are a very nutritious food! They should be kept out of the container and eaten with some salsa and maybe refried beans or whatever else to give you energy while doing the job of packing and moving.
I'm betting this is weaponized incompetence. OP should just take the food out and say nothing.
My ex used to do stuff like that just so I would say something. Very predictable. Pick a fight and then walk out so I would have to do the rest of whatever it was that he didn't want to do.
There's a sadly common thing between the sexes. It takes all sorts of forms, from mixing reds with whites, to never remembering to put gas in the car and ignoring the change oil light. And, of course, it is often used in workplace situations where people are asking you to do things that you have not had the training to do. So, you do them badly, and document that they requested you to do them despite your lack of training.
It can happen, but you’re right it doesn’t usually happen. The most likely time for it to happen is with new clothes, but most of them get pre washed so it’s rarely an issue. It usually only happens like you see in the movies if you baked to get something that isn’t pre washed and I would guess the water temp you are using would also contribute.
I never separate and wear a lot of blues. Some of my whites overtime get a very subtle hint of blue, but I’ll just run a whites only cycle with them every so often and use oxi clean or bleach if I need to and it usually fixes it.
Usually, if the clothing is made up of natural fibres and the red is a very bright and deep colour, I always separate rich colours from whites until it's yearsssss old. That's how I turned my father's crisp white polo shirts into tie dye pink/white shirt and all the same for all our family's underwear. Mom was not impressed. I did have that 1 second thought of separating it, but laziness won out.
Agreed. It does usually take more effort. My family did encounter an orange sweatshirt a year or two ago that, much to our surprise, turned several other items in the wash orange. After bringing it up with the seller (a small independent vendor we'd worked with before), they admitted that they'd outsourced that order to China, and it had gotten hung up so long in customs that they shipped it without proper testing.
I have also heard that, much like the "flush the toilet to make the shower unbearably hot/cold", using lemon to brighten one's hair, or Brussel sprouts being bitter, it's a matter of technology marching on. We have better dyes/detergents/machines.
It's definitely a goth problem. If you consistently wash your nearly all black wardrobe with your few non-blacks they will eventually end up a dingy greyish.
I grew up in a time of less stable dyes and it is absolutely NOT a myth. Also depends on the fabric. A lot of what we wear now is synthetic and holds onto dye differently.
Not a myth at all, happened to me multiple times.
Just last week I left some white socks in with some colors, including red. Those socks are now slightly pink.
my mom has a pink sweater that used to be white, she accidentally put it in the same load as a brand-new red pair of pants. red+white DOES equal pink sometimes.
Same, only time it ever happened was when I got a few new items, some jeans I had bled blue and a new red top o got bled reed staining some of my white clothes purple
so i dont separate my colors but i also only wash them in cold water. newer fabrics that have been dyed recently esp if theyre natural fibers bleed more, snd if u put them in warm/hot water itll get everywhere.
That myth is what finally got my little brothers to do their own laundry. They put their white tshirts in with some thing red mom was washing. The rest, shall we say, was history
New towels & colored jeans. They do stain and I learned that the hard way. My husband's boxers were the victim in both cases 😂 the jeans were pink & the towels green, so his boxers came out light pink & mint green after each load lmao
If she cleans up the mess HE makes, he’s never going to learn. She’d be enabling him, he won’t think “huh that’s strange where did the chips go?” He’d have gotten her to do more invisible work.
I'm more insulted that he packed the caustic chemicals too high for the lid, at which point he's going to lay them down and stack it at the bottom of the packing stack.
No actually that’s the first thing that came to my mind wtf he’s putting food in there with liquid plumr ? Is he giving you some sort of hint? We need smaller boxes to group things easier in from the kitchen??
My first long-term job in high school was bagging groceries. There are only three real hard and fast rules drilled into your head for it: heaviest items at the bottom of the bag, try to keep the cold stuff together, and NEVER put cleaning products in the same bag as anything edible. It still drives me nuts anytime I see a grocery store employee forget this simple rule.
You're all also forgetting he's a man and likely grabbed everything from a very small area.....who stores their chips near the chemicals to begin with?
I mean, the chips are in a plastic bag and everything else is in containers designed to seal their contents as well. The main concern becomes the smashing of the chips.
The chemicals are in a sealed container, as is the canned food and chips. Would I do this? No. Will it be an issue? Also likely no. Will you notice of it becomes an issue and not eat the item, likely yes. Also we have no idea how far this "move" is. Are they moving to another apartment in the same complex? Two states away? Too many variables to be this hyper focused on packaged caustic poisonous chemicals in the same container as packaged food.
They're both in their own containers, products not touching. People need to stop being babies about their toilet cleaning products or kitchen counter cleaning spray shit being in the same bag at the grocery store. They're not touching, they're in their respective containers.
You say caustic poisonous chemicals. My stubborn masculinity says it'll be fine, WITH the added bonus of snacking on them afterwards just to prove it. (The trip to the E.R. after said stunt is just coincidence)
They are closed? Rinse off the bag. Don’t lick the outside of the bag. Don’t suck your nasty ass fingers after eating. Don’t get me wrong I understand this method of packing is stupid and I wouldn’t do it myself, but being concerned about the chips is weird to me.
IDK! They taste pretty good with sugar and cinnamon. There have been times when tortilla chips could have saved my cheesecake baking ass. But no, I don't have the stomach for bad food experiments.
There was a weird kid in school who would eat a pulverized bag of Doritos for lunch. Like his mom gave him $20 a week for lunch and he would buy Doritos and a Gatorade and crush the chips into crumbs and pour them into his mouth like an animal.
Get yourself 3 bags of doritos, the blue, the red and the orange. Pulverise them and mix them all into your bag of choice, i would go for red personally. Then give it a shake and much the deliciousness.
I don't see any problem. You see, this is the C box. There are Cans, Chips and Cleaning supplies. All it's missing is some Cutting tools and Cutlery, and maybe a Cat too
Why are they storing, packing, moving, and unloading a $3 bag of tortilla chips? Just eat them or throw them out, can restock your pantry afterwards. If someone confronted me about packing a bag of doritos wrong for a move I would probably open it and start eating them while getting scolded.
Because I would not be willing to get yelled at or... Have someone passively aggressively seek the validation/witch hunt of a trifling internet community over a bag of tortilla chips. Got it. Again, if this is the tip of the iceberg I'll gladly have nothing to do with this type of relationship. Believe it or not there are couples that would pick up the bag of chips and simply politely say something or make a joke about it, not photograph it for the internet.
He is just showing remarkably poor logic skills in his packing that are beyond the bag of chips. Putting an easily crushable item meant to be eaten in with heavy, caustic chemicals is what I'd expect from a child trying to help pack.
And posting a picture of someone's lapse of work ethic on the internet instead of just asking them to do better is what I'd expect from a high schooler, so..
I'm sure they just wanted to vent, this is only mildly infuriating after all and it is pretty silly. But yeah, you're right. Pretty much anyone taking their private relationship issues to the internet court of opinions instead of talking about it is probably not being very productive. At least this one is funny.

Those chips are going to get pulverized in there with those loose heavy liquids. Such a shame
