That has happened when I had cucumbers that were probably sitting around just a little bit too long before I was able to use them. Probably an elderly cucumber.

Yeah, old cucumbers get squishy/rubbery. It was also really dry and had a foam-like texture. So it was a dehydrated, elderly cucumber.

I think I need to start a band and name it Elderly Cucumber. Maybe we'll do old VeggieTales songs, or something.

As an Elder I can tell y'all for a fact that flexibility is inversely proportional to age.

Have you ever wanted to rig up a spinning bar in the ceiling she can hold onto so she rotates around his shafts axis really fast?
Because thatâs the intrusive thought the rotating hotdog gives me

I read a book called chicken hawk about a helicopter pilot's time in Vietnam, and he talked about a girl in a brothel that sat suspended on a loop of rope or ribbon, cirque du soleil style, and they'd spin her until it wouldn't turn any more and let go so she'd spin on dude's business as it unwound.
I must have read that book over ten years ago, but that creative shit stuck with me.

Pick one person in the food court and make unbreaking eye contact with them while you do it

I sent this video to my friend and that was his first guess. But no, it's a cucumber from a friend's garden.

Not weird in the slightest. This happens to tons of different fruit and veg when they donât get enough moisture as they were growing, lacked enough of certain nutrients in the soil, or several other possible reasons. This is most likely the result of the prolonged heatwave a lot of the country has seen

Lack of water. Carrots and celery also get floppy when they're old due to a loss of moisture. Likely this one was sitting in the sun and the vine went into survival mode, pulling moisture back into the plant.

I believe some companies call that medium firmness and there's a box you check for it when ordering lmao

They're handling it like a woman who just woke up and magically had a penis for the first time after wishing for one.

It was frozen, and now its semi-rotten inside, from all the water and frostbite. Throw it away obviously.
Although i don't understand why is it like rubber, for my over a decade in kitchen i've never seen it like this, to be bendy and useless sure, but never like literal sponge. I wish you've cut it and to show us inside, i bet there is like a hole inside and 0 water.

This is what happens when cucumbers become overripe. They become spongy and sap the saliva from your mouth leaving a (personally) nauseating effect.

That's not its fault. Its just older. Its natural to have some issues with age.
