NOT the 1-up mushroom

Yet another disturbing, desiccated food item.

To be fair, this was at the bottom of a Harmon's box so they probably didn't even know they donated it.

Really?

To be fair, the thrift store I work at is a hospital thrift store. Sometimes we do get medical equipment, like wheelchairs and walkers, to sell. I just can't imagine anyone shopping at a thrift store for one of these items.

Ewww it's glistening

I shouldn't have been surprised when I opened this, but I was. It was horrible. It's still goopy and wet.

Is anyone missing anything?

It would be tragic to wake up and not be able to figure out where you put these. Unfortunately they were probably put in the wrong box. So sorry. Eww.

Accidental donation?

I sure hope this donation was an accident. The scenario that comes to mind is the following:

Parents get SO sick of their child/children's horridly messy room that they go in with black garbage bags and start shoveling in the mounds of items. They were lucky enough to miss this little gem with this method of donation. This was donated in mid-December. I'm thinking they were going through their old stuff and donating it to make room for new stuff they would get for Christmas. This rotted, dessicated mini Halloween pumpkin was stuck to some pajama bottoms. Rotten ALL the way through! I only found it because I happened to step on it and hear it crunch. NOT squish but crunch. It was that old. I kept thinking to myself, as I quickly threw it away, that I had spores on my shoe. That color of pink is not a natural pumpkin color either! This donation may have scarred me a little bit.

Surprise!

It was super fun pulling this out of the donation box. Okay, not really. It was scary. Really really really scary.
