Question about vodka.

[triplefive]

Right, they were so great that they stopped making them. People shouldn't mess w/ success, like that peanut butter/jelly stuff in one jar, that's gross, just stop it.

it boosted heinz's sales and market share for a few years but eventually the fad died out, i imagine, and it wasn't worth producing anymore.

but yeah, PB&J combined is just nasty.

If you can't take some ribbing about something like vodka in a ketchup bottle in your closet without losing your cool, you shouldn't be posting about it in the first place.

This is why I love Daisy.

i think i destroyed my brain with vodka. but then it got better. so here's to whisky.

both ketchup and vodka are mostly preservatives. they won't go off for decades. alcohol kills bacteria that's why they have rubbing alcohol for wounds. and vodka is 40% alcohol at least if it's any good.

I doubt the vodka would go bad. If you hadn't washed the ketchup bottle, it would taste like ketchup, but it wouldn't be "bad."

Alcohol does a pretty good job at killing cells. Depends on what proof it is, though. I work in a lab and we use the equivalent of 140 proof vodka to sterilize our bench space.

Have you ever tried leaving a bottle of white russian out?

I don't leave anything out, LOL, since I don't drink. (I hate hate hate the taste/smell of alcohol. It reminds me of lab chemicals, which is no good, LOL. If you see what 70% ethanol/140 proof vodka does to Sharpie marks on plastic, you'd know what I mean. ) Does white russian go bad pretty quickly?

The notion that everything ELSE would evaporate, leaving the alcohol behind, is bunk. Alcohol is more volatile than water, which means it would evaporate first, and blow up if you take a flame to it. Wheee!

^Considering its made with cream, my guess is, yeah, it'll go bad pretty fast.
