for everyone
I'm supposed to be studying right now, since I have 3 exams tomorrow, and 3 more after that.  But I can't help it, I was so disturbed by my disgusting discovery.

While enjoying a cold glass of apple juice, I wondered at some particulate matter floating around my drink.  So I thought, 'why don't I open my box of HARVEY FRESH 100% Australian-made Apple Juice' (I suggest you don't buy this brand of apple juice anymore).

Lo and behold, I found this ugly crinkled piece of only-God-knows-what that looked strangely like a cross between dura mater (the outermost covering of the brain and spinal cord) and fungus-infected cat skin just floating happily around in the apple juice:

Up close, the yellowish part on the left really looks like fungal growth (di ko lang kasi macapture sa camera ko)
 
I still don't know what it is, if you can identify it, please tell me.  And seriously, don't buy Harvey Fresh 100% Australiam-made apple juice.

haha! di ko talaga maalala na may pinromise akong car. Panda lang naalala ko eh.

Pero tatawag talaga ako sa Harvey fresh para magcomplain. Tsaka nalang kita kukunan ng panda.

Hindi talaga cardboard yun Mr. Barnes! Dapat makita mo siya in-person...haha..para talaga siyang galing sa living matter. Naku. dapat tignan mo under the microscope. Hehe :)

Hmmm, normal naman yung lasa niya (sa pagkaka-alala ko) nadistract kasi ako masyado sa particulate matter...at wala nmang masamang nangyari sakin.

Kaya nga iniisip ko, kahit walang masamang nangyari sakin, may grounds parin nman ako magsue diba?

Hi D.A.! :)

Hmmm...normal naman yung lasa nung apple juice sa pagkaka-alala ko. Kaso nadistract din kasi ako masyado sa particulate matter floating around baka di ko napansin. hehe :)

uy, baka pwede nga siyang fungi-infected balat ng apple...chcheck ko ulit.

....at dapat kaya nagcomplain ka sa chowking, para kahit man lang napalitan nila yung langaw-seasoned chaofan mo. Aling chowking branch pala yan? wag na natin tangkilikin.

look up consumer laws.

basically you could ask for damages...moral/actual damages or other damages (M.A.N.T.L.E).


mukha siyang balat ng Andok's Manok without my glasses! eh-eh-eh-eh-eh

could it be part of the apple rind where the juice was squeezed from? hehe. sometimes its better to pretend its not what it is than be confronted with the truth that you have been sipping pure unadulterated fungus broth! ewe! but if worse comes to worst then i support a lawsuit! pabalato ng research grant if ever. nyahaha! :-D

Wala bang funny taste yung apple juice?

Alam mo, mukhang frog skin e... Rana pipiens. Tama! Mukha ngang balat ng palaka yan. Bakit hindi mo pinost yung Hi Res photos para mazoom in namin at makita yung balat ng palaka.

Hmmm... Parang makapal naman masyado kung dura mater. mukha talagang balat ng palaka. Rana pipiens. Tama.

Pero teka. Hindi pa rin nabubulok yung balat niya. Kaya teka. Hindi kaya madaming preservatives yung apple juice?

Biro lang. :D

Peace, CENA.

thanks Paul. Sabihin ko nalang nadamage pagkatao ko sa pag-inom ng apple juice nila. Or feeling ko naman enough naman na dapat talaga walang ganyan sa binebenta nila. hehe. Thanks Paul. Babalitaan kita pagtinawagan ko na sila (after exams nalang)

Hi Ma'am Lala!

Parang pwede ngang balat siya nung apple. Fungus-infected balat ng apple nontheless. Hehe. Believe me, I wished part lang siya nung inner lining nung box, o kaya innocent piece of apple peel lang siya. But no! It was not so innocent. hehe =)

Hi Berto!

Yes please (lalo na kung libreng services). Hehe =) Balitaan kita kung anong mangyayari. Pero di ko alam kung tatawag ba muna ako sa Harvey Fresh, o ireport ko nalang sa BFAD.

Hoy Ralf!

Nabubulok siya! May Fungus nga siya eh...huhuhu.
At napaka galing mo nman mag-ID...napakaspecific. Sabi nga ng magulang ko, balat daw ng manok eh. Gallus domesticus.

Mr. Barnes! =)

As much as i'd like to think na konti lang yung nainom ko...mauubos na talaga yung apple juice nung mapansin kong may nagffloat around na stuff (bukod sa particulate matter, may stringy stuff pa na parang magandang DNA extract..haha...eeeew)

Pero wala nman kasi talagang harm on my part. Either magaling ang immune system ko, or hindi nman siya kasing kadiri as it looks. (then again, may isang beses talaga na buong SLCM batch 2013 ay nagdiarrhea except ako at yung isa pang matibay ang tyan).

sick! didn't it (the juice) have a funky taste? anyway it looks like decaying skin..like it was peeled off from a hand or something. but, yeah, it could be the apple peel? although covered in fungus/i.. did the box have a contact number of the company or something? you can get paid.. :)
purplerubberbandit wrote on Jan 26, '09
Hi Pats! =)

Hindi nman funny yung taste. And yes, yes, I will call them...soon enough.

It's a common kind of fungus that is present in most apple juice. Most things are contaminated with spores whether you know it or not, but pasteurization + proper refrigeration often kill most spores and suppress the growth of the ones that survive. These fungal blooms happen when the juice is stored improperly, such as if the container isn't sealed or if it is left unrefrigerated for too long, and the opaque packaging really only encourages this growth. Nothing to be too alarmed over, honestly. Just don't drink juice from boxes.
