Picture this: You shuffle into your kitchen, half-asleep, and spot a pink, foam-like growth clinging to your wall. No smell, no movement—just a silent, crusty intruder. That was my reality one recent morning, and it sent me down a rabbit hole of confusion and mild panic.
Internet sleuths offered wild guesses—insulation escapee? Fossilized shrimp?—but the consensus was clear: Don’t touch it. My landlord, however, was unfazed. He dismissed it as dried sealing foam and wiped it away in seconds. While relieved, I couldn’t shake the question: Why did it appear now?
Turns out, aging homes often reveal oddities. Expanding foam can resurface years later; old caulk may degrade into strange forms. My takeaway? Stay curious, take photos, and always investigate unexplained changes in your living space—even if they’re pink and vaguely whimsical.
