Something other than cans of lager.

My bachelor days in the UK seem a distant memory.

Zucchini? In MY fridge? How did this occur?

Coke

We moved straight to Darwin so everything was kept in the fridge. Cane toads in the freezer too x

When I was with my ex in Qld the fridge was half bottle-o, half cosmetics counter. Oh, and chocolate.

Both of these mentioned on Snopes.

Re: What do you keep in the fridge?
 

Reminds me, we really need a new fridge.

Our freezer is up top and the fridge bit down the bottom, I am 6'5" tall and basically almost need to get down on my knees to see what is in the back of the **** thing, which drives my wife crazy as I miss things and ask her where it is, then she pushs me out the way and puts her hand straight on it and walks away muttering something :D

I think there is some sour cream in there from an attempted Mexican food night a month or so ago that is now a good few weeks out of date.

There is also a rather black looking old carrot that you could bend in to a loop.

There is probably a cure for many diseases growing in our fridge :o

Can't abide tepid drinking water out the tap and i go mental when rellies from uk visit and run the tap for half an hr wondering when it's going to turn cold! :sneaky: apart from that not much different to uk except its a much bigger fridge and I use it as storage so I do keep bread and fruit in only as there's space to do so.

Putting batteries in the freezer or refrigerator doesn't necessarily prolong their life

Alkaline batteries stored at "room temperature" self discharge at a rate of less than two percent per year. So normally refrigerating or freezing them will only help maintain their charge by a tiny amount. Hardly worth the effort of chilling them. However, if alkaline batteries are stored at higher temperatures they will start to lose capacity much quicker. At 85 degrees F they only lose about 5% per year, but at 100 degrees they lose 25% per year. So if you live in a very hot climate or are storing your batteries in a very hot location, it may be worthwhile for you to store your alkaline batteries in a refrigerator instead.

NiMH and NiCd batteries self discharge at a MUCH faster rate than alkaline batteries. In fact, at "room temperature" (about 70 degrees F) NiMH and NiCD batteries will self discharge a few percent PER DAY. Storing them at lower temperatures will slow their self discharge rate dramatically. NiMH batteries stored at freezing will retain over 90% of their charge for full month. So it might make sense to store them in a freezer. If you do, it's best to bring them back to room temperature before using them. Even if you don't freeze your NiMH batteries after charging them, you should store them in a cool place to minimize their self discharge.

Did you not keep those in the fridge in the UK?

Re: What do you keep in the fridge?
 

Oh, I'd forgotten about water.

Yes, I keep water in the fridge and I didn't in the UK. It's not just because of the need to have cold water but also because of the vile taste of the water here, so I have one of those filter jugs which sit in the fridge door.

Re: What do you keep in the fridge?
 

Didn't need to, the kitchen was cold enough anyway - don't need them in the fridge here in the winter either!

Re: What do you keep in the fridge?
 

Not much more than in the UK really. Carrots wrapped in foil, as they keep better, and broccoli. If I want to keep tomatoes they go in the fridge until the day before I want them, as it stops them ripening too quickly, but usually they are just in a bowl on the countertop. I do put chocolate in the firidge now though.

Re: What do you keep in the fridge?
 

I am currently emptying my fridge and replacing its contents with tights, nail polish, batteries, the remote, perfume and all my make up. You can't make this up. WTF?
