What kind of psychopath just throws food in the fridge without covering it first? Do you want it to dry out and taste like the lining on the refrigerator walls?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I mean you could also wash your fridge if you food starts to taste like you fridge. thst drying thing is extremely valid tho.

and it's not like I would ever actually clean my fridge, but my food doesn't get any taste either

I didn't know watermelon could do this. Who... Who buys watermelon and forgets it??? How does watermelon last longer than 4 days... At best?

It's watermelon! You buy it because you want to eat it now.

Literally anything placed in fridge will do this if left uncovered. Fridges, freezers, air conditioners, etc., they all remove moisture.

Literally anything?

Steel.

How about that?

Huh? Huh?

Debate me.

I put my steel in the fridge and it's completely dried out now

Granted, it wasn't very wet when it went in

If I fill a steel thermos with water and put it in the fridge, the water still doesn't dry out even after months. I don't know what that proves but I bet scientists will figure it out. I'll be awaiting my Nobel Prize.

But thermos covers it

See, there's your problem.๐Ÿ˜

Modern fridges have compartments with seals that keep the moisture a lot longer, designed particularly with vegetables and fruit in mind.

Yeah but like I said earlier, your food will taste like the fridge itself if you don't cover it, crisper drawer or otherwise.

Oh, tell me about it. Someone in my household has a habit of regularly creating watermelon that tastes like onion.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Today my mind went against my wishes and made me imagine tasting something I never want to taste.

the (vegetable) crisper compartment

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

I didn't know watermelon could do this.

If done in a controlled environment, it's apparently very tasty! I recently stumbled upon a tutorial somebody made recently about how to make watermelon jerky with a dehydrator. Apparently the flavor gets significantly sweeter. He was making it for hiking/survival purposes, so removing all the water weight lets you pack a lot of lightweight nutrients, too.

The fridge has nothing else in it. I'm guessing it's staged or the person literally forgot they had a fridge.

Or they are a bachelor. I've lived like this, lol.

Ever heard of drinking water?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Reminder to drink half a gallon a day of water ๐Ÿ’ฆ
