Homemade Science Experiments

About five months ago I bought a bottle of Safeway's O Brand Organic Apple Juice.
It is really very decent.
Extremely low sugar content - 12 grams per serving.
It has sat quietly in the back of the fridge for the last four months.

Then after pouring way too much rum into my daily nightcap I decided to even after the bite with a little bit of fruit juice.
First up was some mango juice.
It did the job but the rum was still biting fiercely.
My mind turned to the apple juice.
Perfect compliment to the tang of mango.
If I had orange juice available too then this would an excellent way to knock myself out.

With the exciting of finishing off the neglected apple juice I opened the fridge.
There it was silently awaiting it's final mission.
I wrestled and angled it out from behind a loaf of bread, a Helmens jar, and a large can of V-8.
Setting it down on the counter, I twisted the top off and happened to glance down.

'What the . . .'



'Is that a teabag?' I thought to myself. 'If it was then how did it get in there?'
Then I looked closer.



Maybe it's a leaf.



Nope, it is a floating cluster of fungus.
