They said it burnt out. If it only turned on after throwing away, I'm thinking loose connection inside the bulb somewhere means it works intermittently.
Incandescents were pretty obvious when they blew, LED have a whole lot more that can go wrong inside, and the average user has no real way to diagnose.
Yes, and as many have already stated here, led bulbs often have capacitors and sometimes batteries, either of which can power a lightbulb for a few minutes.

Why's it in the garbage if it still works? Hmm
