(idea stolen from this thread)
So, whattaya got up there right now?
Me:
[ul]
[li]Work lunch bag[/li][li]Big bowl with 3 onions in it[/li][li]Big container half filled with dry dog food[/li][li]Empty dog food bowl[/li][li]Wooden barbecue-themed platter[/li][li]Small stack of NY Times crosswords waiting to be completed[/li][/ul]
(I know some folks have built-ins; this thread is obviously for those who have horizontal fridge-top space)
mmm
Mason jars.
Mixing bowls.
Bamboo Steamer.
Espresso pot.
Dust.
Two to three dozen toys. That’s where things go when they get left throughout the house. If a kid doesn’t ask where such-and-such is within a month, it goes away permanently.
A bunch of different pill containers on one side.
The other side is left open because my kitty boy likes to go up there when I’m in the kitchen.
Thankfully he’s not asshole cat and doesn’t knock everything off.
Nothing.
Maybe a little dust as I haven’t wiped it down yet this week.
Nothing at all. We do have a built in, but we have a second one in the basement with nothing on the top. There’s probably not even dust up there as it arrived only today – I know cheating.
Empty sun tea jar.
^^This.
There’s a cabinet above the fridge, but it’s not as deep as the fridge. I had to go look to see what’s in the cabinet, as it’s essentially a spare. Turns out the cabinet has a couple of fridge door inserts in it. We use fewer shelves farther apart, which means a couple are left over.
In years past in other houses I kept a flyswatter on top of the fridge; it was mostly out of sight, but easy to grab quickly. Surprisingly, we don’t have a bug problem here, so we don’t have a fly swatter.
A radio
A collecting of empty tea tins
Some empty glass bottles
A couple of vases
Dust
[ul]
[li]A bigmouth bass beer can holder used to hold quarters for laundry[/li][li]A Mickey Mouse piggy bank for dimes and nickles[/li][li]A scorpion and a crab fridge magnet with spring-loaded appendages–claw to claw in mortal combat[/li][li]A framed photo of a friend and I atop Angel’s Landing in Zion[/li][li]A woven bamboo basket with random crap in it[/li][/ul]
Popcorn popper, bamboo popcorn bowl, and a case of cheap silver plate silverware that hasn’t been used in years.
2 six-packs of Coke
One 24-pack of Dasani bottled water. (Yes, I know it’s 9000x more expensive than water from the tap. Piss off.)
2 stand mixers, a couple boxes of cereal and a brownie mix. And a ton of dust. I can’t see up there, I can barely reach the things perched on the edge. So I tend to ignore it unless I pull a chair over to climb on to get something down.
StG
A carton of cheap cookies, a cookie jar that’s currently empty, a couple of brownies, a tin that had some Christmas candies in it, long since eaten, and an index-card box of Grandma’s recipes.
A ceramic wine cooler that my MIL bought us as a gift ages ago
An elephant wine bottle holder that my husband found amusing
Two plastic battery organizers full of different types of batteries
A miniature football that used to be a dog toy before our dog died
Foil pans and three boxes of breakfast cereal.
A Winnie the Pooh cookie jar and a big red Mason Cash mixing bowl.
Um, I don’t know? I can’t see up there. 
I’ll have to ask someone else to tell me what’s up there and then report back here.
Cake transporter and an insulated bag (picnic-type tote).
Basket filled with miscellaneous items (pot holders, chip bags, towels, etc.) two cereal boxes. And when I’m cooking in the kitchen, my cat likes to get up there and watch me.
