If the RTD have been in my fridge, then got warm, are they ok to drink still?

I left a couple in my cooler tote overnight in the car and of course the ice packs were not cold anymore, neiher were the rtd's.


Wasn't sure if it's like other things that once they are warmed not good to re-refrigerate them. Not sure how to say that.


Anyone drank one that has been cold then warm then cold again?

My rule of thumb is that if something is cold then warms up for that long, it can harvest bacteria. Maybe I am just a weirdo. I know that once soda and beer are cold, then warm, they will taste like skunk juice!

That happens to my RTDs all the time. I've never had a problem with them, though. As long as they haven't been opened, they should be fine.

They are sealed and air hasn't hit them, so they should be A-OK!

I do that all the time to mine and I haven't croaked, yet.

I do it and they seem ok .

I imagine they are just fine, but like BeachBaby I'm a freak when it comes to stuff like that & once it's cold, it has to stay cold or gets tossed.

I've done it on occasion and everything was A-OK.
I could "feel" something different though. I can't describe it...maybe kinda sludgey/slimey....but not totally gross.

Sure sounds gross though, eh?

The only problem I have had is if they get too hot. On my summer trip there were 2-3 that went bad, but I am sure it was the ones I forgot in the car and it was pretty stinkin hot.

Warm them cold is ok.....but hot then cold is bad, bad, bad......

Thanks for the responses. I think I will try at least 1 and see how it goes. I left 4 in the car and I'm in Phx, AZ (don't think it can get much hotter than that) I kept the 4 separate from my good ones when I placed them back in the fridge so if 1 tastes bad, I will know. But I hated to waste if they are ok.

Thanks!
