Why do soups and teas go bad and unsafe to drink if left out in room temperature for a few hours but it’s perfectly safe to drink a glass of water left out overnight?

Question

Wouldn’t bacteria also grow in the water left out and release toxins?

Answer 1

A lot of Americans are psycho over refrigerating things and killing bacteria. Leaving tea out or even soup overnight is going to do nothing in a standard 70° room. It’ll be fine the next day to drink or eat.
