According to Merriam-Webster, Refrigerator, re-frig-er-a-tor, noun, a room or appliance for keeping food or other items cool.
If you have moved or have had a new refrigerator in the past two years this post is not for you. You may find it funny. I know that I have little gremlins that live in mine. I try to clean out my ice box before I go to the grocery store. With Fred living his life as a Chef and going to the grocery store more often than I. The refrigerator does not get clean out as often as it should.
I am taking a poll. What is the oldest bottled or boxed item you have ever found in your refrigerator? Be truthful, we are all human. I do try to take out the shelves about every six months and wash them. At that time I go through all the bottles and check dates. Sounds simple right, wrong. Today, I tackled that day long job. I could not believe the stuff I find in my refrigerator. I had sauces that went back to 2004. I can not even think how I would have over looked those. I do think that things get bought that are out of date. Also please let me say, that I am the only one that ever wipes something up in the refrigerator. I think my family just closes the door and forgets about it. "Out of sight, out of mind."
My poor side by side, refrigerator, is 20 years old. It is a big GE and just keeps on truckin'. I want it to last because we want to remodel out kitchen. Every time I hear it make a different noise, I pray. Please let it last a little longer. It has lived a long and useful life. My old refrigerator has fed my family for along time. It has hosted many birthdays, holidays, spend the night parties, family dinners, graduation and going away parties. It has seen happy day and sad days. If only your refrigerator could talk. It could write our life.
Take a look in your refrigator. See what lerks inside. You may have germlins living in you refrigator too.

Who needs 7 different kinds of mustard and 12 different kinds of salad dressing, especially when there are only 2 people living in a house? I threw out so much out dated food when we moved it was embarassing. Now that we are RV'ing it and have limited space in our fridge, I make very deliberate decisions on what takes up valuable space! I think the all time clincher was when I found a can of evaporate milk from the early 90's! I asked my son, the ex-chef if it was still good and he said, "Mother, throw it out and spend $1 to buy a new one".
Love the multiple posts, sister. Prob. the most embarrassing thing in my fridge was a bottle of very expensive supplements that I never took but wouldn't throw out because the cost so much $$. They were several years old when I finally got rid of them a couple of weeks ago. Another thing I hate is to let a bag of spinach go bad. It happens too often.
