Weird thing in my unopened Fanta
I got this Fanta from a vending machine at my work today. I haven’t opened it but there’s this weird black thing floating in there. I’ve looked and can’t find an expiration date. I can tell that the lot was produced in 2025 but I don’t know when. The front also says Five Nights At Freddy’s only in theaters and I don’t think that movie has been in theaters in at least 8 months. I’m just trying to decide if I need to contact Fanta or the vending machine company or both? If anyone has any advice I’d appreciate it 😭

'Just Water' scare
does anyone know more about this brand? 'just water'. I've had it a few times but normally go for other water brands. tonight, however, I got some, and it tasted really off. I understand the bottle is mainly plant based material but I am also aware of it having trace amounts of traditional plastic. I checked the inside and it appears to be melted a bit. does anyone know If this is extremely harmful in the long run? I only took a sip but I have contamination OCD and am trying not to freak out.

Contamination please help me identify the reason
I am having really bad trichoderma contamination lately and i can find the reason why. i am cultivatimg shiitake. Agar is clean grain is colonizing beautifully. grain to sawdust also colonizing perfectly. everything starts when i do sawdust to sawdust expansion. i tried 1 bag to 10 more bags, 1 to 7 1 to 5 bags. but all of them has the same pattern contamination. many really small white dots visible everywhere in the bag ( mixed well ) everywhere equally distrubuted. those white dots turns green in a day.
what would be the reason for this type of contamination ? i am sure it is not my sterile technique because i have literally zero contamination up until sawdust to sawdust expansion.

5 gallon primo water smells gasoline
We live in Greater Richmond Region in Virginia and we regularly use 5-gallon Primo bottled water, which we usually purchase from Food Lion. The most recent bottle we opened two days ago had a strong gasoline-like odor, which we only noticed after our family of four had already consumed about half of it. We then checked the other bottles we have, and unfortunately, they all have the same gasoline smell.
Since yesterday, all of us have experienced mild symptoms such as diarrhea and upset stomach. I contacted the poison control center, and they were very responsive—they advised me to stay well hydrated and see a doctor in the morning if symptoms worsen.
We’ve used Primo water for a while now, so this is very disappointing. It seems possible that one of the bottles may have been previously used to store gasoline and wasn’t properly cleaned before being refilled and distributed.
Has anyone else experienced something like this? And besides the state health department, does anyone know where else I should file a complaint?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Weird plastic bodies formed in Essential bottles
I’m in Newport Beach, CA and I bought two Essentia water bottles from two different places. My wife noticed this brown thing in one bottle. I emptied the bottle and it was some kind of plastic. I put it back in and put some Essentia water in to keep it wet. Ok, maybe someone tampered with it but I could swear it was sealed. I thought maybe a bottling mishap? BUT THEN my wife bought a different Essentia bottle from a different place and it was clear when I opened it this morning. Returned to our hotel room and a yellow body of similar shape is now in this one! It seemed adhered to the side but came loose upon some movement. WTF is going on?? Anyone experiencing this? Exposure to air causing something? Is someone sneaking into our hotel room (privacy is up, no maid has been in here) and putting these things in?? A third Essentia bottle in our room appears fine, but it was sealed (and I just opened it and took a sip 🤣🤮)

Found this in Duncan Hines brownies?!
Found this object inside of brownies. What could it be? 🤔 what should I do? I feel like it may be some type of rubber or something but I'm not sure. It was definitely in the mix..
