I've just found a half drunk cup of coffe in my room; I must have set it aside and forgoten about it. The coffee is cold, and at least 2 days old, should I drink it given that: A) I could really go some coffee right now, and B) I'd have to go down stairs to get fresh coffee?

EWWWWWW

if its black and your room isnt too too warm you can drink it with no ill effects (probably)

if you put anything in it, get off your lazy ass and get some fresh coffee

in fact now that i think about it, GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASS AND GET SOME FRESH COFFEE!

Go on... DRINK IT! You know you want to...

Post a poll!

I think you should leave it. Coffee mould is really weird and colourful. And chewy. Apparently.

Were it me I would fling everything I could find around the room shouting about something or other until someone brought me a new coffee.

It's got soy milk in it.

As a tea drinker myself, I think you should drink it, it would be a laugh. That's why we have hospitals.

Drink it! It might give better effects than LSD!

drink it, then expel it from your body back into the cup, warm it up and offer it to a sibling

Instant? Espresso? De-caf? Mocha?

Sell it on eBay...

Definitely! I think you'd get a good price for it.

Two day old coffee has to taste nasty. I would be curious to see what grows in it though. Do you have access to a microscope? Put a drop of the coffee on a slide and see what's swimming around in it.

you should do this i remember reading in the local newspaper about someone selling a couple of weeeks old toast on Ebay for a couple of thousand i think it was a joke bid :rolleyes:

It's got soy milk in it.

By now I would expect that most of the soy milk has started to cling to the sides of the mug or started to form a sludge at the bottom. Not that I, as a disorganised vegan, have any experience with finding half-finished cups fo coffee sitting about in my room, you know...

Since you're Scottish, simply put a nip of single malt into it and toss it back. More fun and guaranteed to remove, or at least anaesthetize, any nasty bacteria.

Enjoy,
BeanSlave!

Coffee. Toilet. Now.

Coffee. Toilet. Now.

Yes! Drink the coffee on the toilet at once!!!:D:D:D

I wonder what kind of bacteria and other microscopic creatures are living inside it. Leave it for a yew years and it may devolop it's own sub-eco system...

Ya! Then sell it to the scienticist, it may have unique ecosystem by then.

Listen to me. Listen carefully.

You must NOT drink the coffee.

Do you understand what I am saying?

The coffee, once intended to be enjoyed for it's juxtaposition of soothing comfort and exciting buzz, has now become a thing both abhorent and bereft of pleasure. It has become ... something that USED to be coffee.

For the sake of all that is good and decent in this world, make your way downstairs and get yourself a fresh, hot, soothing and invigourating cup of coffee.

And lay off the soy. If God had intended us to get milk from soybeans, he would have made them with udders.

As Lewis Black, the greatest thinker of our time, once said "there can be no soy milk because there is no soy nipple."

Long as there is nothing that prevent a spoon from sinking into it growing on top. Go for it. If there is, remove the growth first.

Ergo, there can be no coconut milk, because there is no coconut nipple... oh hang on...

Did you just find a coconut nipple?

If you do drink it, and then become ill and have to go to the hospital, you'd have to explain why you felt ill. Then, on the records they keep someone would write "Feels ill due to consuming a 2 day old cup of coffee...bloody idiot."


On the other hand, drink it, drink it NOW.

Ive drank almost week old coffee. I was big starbucks fan there for a while but didint always finish the coffee the first time thru, and I didnt want my money to be wasted.

The real question to look at is whether ProMonkians' room had heating on in it: given that he is located in Scotland during the depths of winter, if the room was unheated then the coffee should be about as dangerous as your average glass of iced tea (even with the soya milk)

do it... do it... do it...

Waste not want not I guess.

But did you not think that Starbucks' excessive prices were wasting your money anyway...

yeh I kno, but that verona roast jsut strikes the rite note with my soul

Drink it, but I suppose if you really don't want to then just give it to someone else.

Are you bound or obligated in any way by the poll results?

I voted "drink it" regardless, but just one friggin' time I'd like to see my vote matter.

I agree with Bodies Without Organs. My experience with Scotland in January would lead me to surmise that it is not mold on top of the coffee but hoar frost. Should be drinkable especially with a sizable slug of single malt.

I drank it

...oh I feel funny
*Starts hallucinating*
"Mr Grimbsdale there are peas comming out of my face!"

yes, good, one cannot waste coffee. never waste coffee.

It's got soy milk in it.
Now there is a crime in it self!
You didn't compound your crime with sugar did you?

Pah: as a true Scotsman ProMonkians would never put sugar in coffee. As any fule knoes coffee is traditionally consumed in Scotland, like porridge, with several heaped spoonfulls of salt.

But my freind Angus from Aberdeen drinks coffee with sugar in it. :)

Ah, such a gift. Shall I run through the whole 'No True Scotsman' malarky, or shall we just take it as read?

eeewwww, soya milk...its jusy wrong. honestly tho, if its been there that long WITH soya milk in it then its now probably evolved sufficiently that it should be capable of walking itself from its location to the nearest window, and an escape to coffee rotting freedom........

but hey don't listen to me, i'll drink tea when its lukewarm...DRINK THE COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!! :headbang:

Take it as read.

I know the "No True Scotsman" fallacy. Just playing around (I do know Scots, but none with such obviously Scottish names like Angus or Hamish)

Excellent decision. Although, I liked the E-Bay option.

but only after Jesus, or the Virgin de Guadalupe made an appearance.

Congratulations :D

Don't worry, the hallucinations will stop...one day.
Until then, have some more coffee
