Squickfood. I'm curious about the lettuce! :-) Yeah, I never really buy strawberries because usually 10% of them are rotten by the time I get them home. Squickfood.

I’m curious about the lettuce! :-)

I had not thought to make an "eatability" assessment. Will totally do so with the new array - thanks! With the berries, it was pretty shortly after the test started. As I mentioned, they were looking kind of peaked at the beginning. But strawberries have a super short window, as far as I'm concerned. The mold started at roughly the same time for both sets of bagged berries, by my observation. The clear bag grew more robustly. You ask a very good question, Matt.

What was the point at which you considered the bagged berries inedible, though? I mean, the greenbagged ones had their fair share of slime - - I'm curious if the clearbagged ones just grew mold more quickly *after* matching the greenbagged ones for sliminess? (terribly convoluted comment I know, but any impressions?)

I guess the instant gratification is nice and all, but the 6-pack rings, at least, don't grow a filthy culture. *shudder* Ew.
