My mom has half the fridge filled with bagged salad, and the stuff just looks gross. It's all wilted, the colors are dull, and it feels slimey and soggy. What's weird is that when she makes her salads, she spends about ten minutes adding all this stuff to it. If you're gonna add all this stuff, why not just make the entire salad from scratch?

I won't even feed the stuff to my guinea pigs. It's nasty.
