I know people keep Pepto Bismol ™ in the fridge… and other antacids. I put chips and pretzels in there on purpose. ---

I had fifteen live crickets in a plastic bag until last night. I keep them in the fridge because it slows them down, and makes them easier to feed to my Venus Flytrap. ---

In my family we will keep money in there. I have in the past been known to leave my handgun in there over night if I am so tired. I have left a few out weird things such as my TV remote and the newspaper but that is about it. ---

I lost my virginity in there once… never happened again though. Oh…wait…no… I’m still a dork. That never happened. I think I put Ice Cream in there once. – 100th post! – ---

I was reading the subject lines on the MPSIMS board, and right under “stuff that doesn’t belong in a fridge…” was the subject for another post called “Vermont”. I thought it was a good answere to the OP, but I’ve never actually had Vermont in my fridge. stuff that doesn’t belong in a fridge…Vermont ---

Numerous bottles of fingernail polish are found in my fridge. My mom keeps them in there says the quality of the polish lasts longer if they’re kept cold. Is that true?
