      Wait, wilted or straight up melted?

      Cause if it straight up melted, how long has it been in there?! Was it still green when it broke down into its most basic form?

        “decomposed” may be a better word for it. If you leave lettuce and other leafy greens for too long they eventually break down into a watery green sludge that you have to bury under something else in the garbage so no one else will see it and blame you lol

        Not the person you asked but I have 100% had greens (I don’t think it was lettuce, maybe mustard) that I can only have described as melted. They turn from a normal leafy green into this nasty green sludge. I don’t know how long there were in there but I’m sure it was months.

        I’ve had lettuce “melt” overnight. Lettuce can easily freeze if the fridge has to run hard to cool something large down and the lettuce is close to where the air comes out of the condensor. Then when the fridge is at an idle state, the lettuce thaws and is just mush.
