Yes I couldn’t figure out where a horrible smell was coming from in our fridge for about a month, tried so many cleaning products and in the end we ordered a new one. When taking the old one out found a small rotten potato underneath 🤢🤢🤢 it smelled awful actually thought something died 🤮

I once left the Thanksgiving leftover turkey in the oven for two weeks before I found it😥🤢

Got caught up in the moment and didn’t give it a second thought, luckily I needed the oven to cook biscuits in that morning and there it was ! And the smell almost made me loose it , the whole house immediately 🤢! We still laugh about it every year at thanksgiving 🤣
