The mold. Or the mole. Or the mould.
A friend, TI, and I have decided to study the rate of growth of mold on a sourish tasting (I suppose…never tried it before!) tidbit. Three specimens were placed in a name-card box, covered and left on TI’s table at work. We plan to periodically take photos and will update the progress as and when there is any. IF there is any.
Day 1 - The Birth of the Mold
It all started on Tuesday, 25 Jan 2005. TI was smart enough to take a look at her food before popping it into her mouth and this is what she found growing on top! Unfortunately, some had already ingested the snack, some without looking and some thinking that it’s a new look and flavour. Yuech. No stomach aches recorded though…so it’s likely that it’s not really mold. However, it does have a mushroom-y type of look. For the record, we both find it very gross…hence the subsequent containment in a name-card box donated by yours truly. The goal of Project Mold…? For it to grow and cover the entire surface of the snack. By and by, this is not our first attempt at growing mold. We actually started with a piece of white bread with margarine and sugar filling (one of my less inspired breakfast snack…)…wrapped it nicely in a plastic bag and left it alone. Amazingly enough, after…two? three? weeks…it looked exactly the same…not a speck of green moldy fungus-y thing on the bread. God only knows the amount of preservative that went into the bread…and my tummy!
Update: No additional mold seems to have grown, so project terminated!
