The whole family, spending two-three days, with intestinal distress and possibly a (pardon the pun) "run" to the local Mayo Clinic to test for food poisoning: PRICELESS!

For all other items near the picnic basket (and until the "Mayo Bill" arrives), it's Master Card!

That was a $h!tty thing to say!

Really, throw it out. Even though it's called miracle whip it ain't gonna resurrect itself.

Anything specified "Ref. after open" I toss if its been left out too long, and by too long i mean like 12hrs. Unless you and the family has iron stomachs, lol

Egg based sauces . . . 2 hours at room temp, tops, and then you're in the danger zone.

What temperature are your rooms? Until I moved to the US when I was 11 yrs old, I never saw a house with a refrigerator. We ate lots of custard pies that sat around in rooms for a long time, not to mention eggs and milk in the cupboards.

While mayonnaise and other similar egg emulsion products is slightly acidic and inhibits bacteria growth, the general rule for these "uncooked" products is roughly two hours, less if the ambient temp is higher than 80 or so, such as at picnics or outdoor events.

For cooked proteins, I would say that 4 hours at room temp puts the item in "the danger zone".

In the food safety circle, you can't be precise with every product or situation, so going by the guidelines when you're not sure or don't want to risk the health of someone who might have a compromised digestive system is just being safe. So, yesterday at all the Mother's Day Brunches, the busiest guy other than at the omlet station, should have been the sauce guy making the hollandaise.

What do you think, should we throw it out?

1. Check to see if there's anything green growing on it and it resembles a petri dish, if so:

2. Toss that jar like a Roger Clemen's pitch before he lied to Congress about the that little steriod problem.

How about having a 3 day weight loss contest with someone, on the first day eat the Miracle Whip and watch the Miracle begin.

I have a feeling "Self Mummification" isn't the way to go....pun intended.

Folks in Mexico can drink the water...us wimps in the US can't...your intestinal (literally!) fortitude is much more robust than the standard Americans'.

You win in the "Tepid-To-The-Touch" contest.

Go ahead and have a heaping dolup of "mayo-de-la-ptomaine" along with 2 Alka-Seltzers in a glass of water. Then type us a response in the morning!

I just got home and ate....no mayo included.

So I got about three or so answers and 25 sick puns!

Its nice to be loved!

It smells ok.

Yeah, I know uncooked and uncracked eggs will keep a long time if its not too hot, but you know, I always heard to beware of mayo containing products especially in the summer.
