FYI that's not food safe plastic most of the time

Serious question.

Following the assumption that it's not food safe plastic, what is the actual risk that we're talking about here? I get that there's many variables (length of time/temp of contact, porousness and moisture content of food, etc) but let's say that the variety of foods were stored in a cooler for 4 hours prior to consumption. To do this 3x a year, what are the risks? Obviously this set up left in the car during the summer for 8hrs before eating would be a REALLY bad idea, but wondering where it starts crossing the line from insignificant risk to "you should really think twice."

I remember years ago Mythbusters tested the "5 second rule" and contamination really had much more to do with what was making contact vs how long.

Considering the amount of plastic beverage bottles, food packaging, styrofoam, etc that you’ve eaten from in the past X years (think of changing regulations like BPA before 2008-09) , this isn’t going to harm you if you do it occasionally.

I am not a doctor.

also even now, you maybe do not have BPA anymore but BPS instead, which seems to have similar properties but it's not as famous

Is it something I should be concerned about?

That's up to you, as long as you're aware, do whatever the fuck you want.

No genuinely, I didn't know some types of plastic were not food safe. In what way can they be unsafe?

There is not much worse than warm slimy slices of cheese. This needs cooling packs or an ice layer under the snacks.

We do that with ours:

Cool! Let us know how the stomach cancer treats ya!

This is definitely not food safe poly-ethylene.

I wouldn't do it but let's be honest, how badly could it be if is used like super sporadical like I expect in this case.

Plus without even been heated, well maybe in this case not totally true use the sun....

Sorry but this looks gross

Also fun fact the plastic in the majority of tackle boxes is toxic and not food safe.

"Charcuterie is dead" posts a picture with a box containing at least 3 sorts of charcuterie

Are those gummy bears in the bottom right corner?

Yeah... the good ones.

Haribo Sugarfree

The farts I get from those are indescribable. Do others experience that? Is that the reference?

They are well known for giving people all sorts of digestive issues from cramps to diarrhea.

Nah I was going to the weed reference. But I didn't know there were sugar free, I don't eat them like ever so makes sense I didn't know, and I didn't know either the side effects.

Charcuterie is just Lunchables for adults.

Lunchables is just shitty charcuterie.

Lunchables are just plain shitty.

This picture is a shitty charcuterie

I used to love a turkey and cheddar lunchable plus a red bull in college, good snack

Lunchables are just charcuterie from the US.

In my book that can either be enough food for 1 day or 1 hour.

This is like when people thing that theres a difference between a dairy milk bar and dairy milk buttons.

It's the same chocolate, but the shape is different.

My god... It's full of win...

Sure wish I had this camping last weekend. Game. Changed.
