Here are the reasons why it's safe to eat a cucumber that was stored in vinegar for about one week and one day:

The first and the main reason is that I personally ate all of it and nothing has happened to me after that.

The second reason is if you would try to make gherkins at home you would need the same ingredients as I used for my experiment. You can also google a recipe for gherkins and check it out yourself if you don't believe me!  These ingredients are a cucumber, vinegar and glass jars. It would taste more like the ones from the supermarket if I would have added some onions and salt and some spices, but I'm sure that my one was so yummier and if I were to sell it people would like it more than the one from Pak'n'save.

The third and my favourite reason is that keeping a cucumber in vinegar is much healthier than keeping it without vinegar. A cucumber stored in a fridge without any preservatives would go bad in a week and you wouldn't be able to eat it… Or if you would decide to eat it anyway, you would get really sick. So it was fun at the end as I was almost the only lucky one in my class who got a chance to try my self-made gherkin after the experiment!
