Next time, caramelize them in a slow cooker.
Rough cut them into half-moons, toss them in a little bit of melted butter, just enough to coat, then throw them in and let them sit overnight. The next day, take the lid off and turn it to high until most of the liquid cooks down.
Then freeze it in baggies and you can use it whenever you like.

Just sort those out that went bad, I doubt literally all of them had to be thrown away.

The smell alone. There's not much like it.
I have the same happen with bell peppers occasionally. They look fine, until you pick up the bag.

The point is to caramelize your LEFTOVER onions, not all of them that you bought.

how long did this take? I've never had onions ooze on me before. Were they in plastic? That tends to reduce the shelf life of vegetables.

I left mine in a bag on my wood table when this happened. It ruined the finish of the table
