What goes here (in my fridge)?

So. My fridge declutter and clean has got a bit out of control and I’ve dismantled the fucker and cleaned it thoroughly.

But what goes in these stupid little holes/shelves? They seem completely useless.

Are people refrigerating their wee?

Show quote history

I had to refrigerate a 5 gallon container of urine last month for 48hrs, so some of us do.

Did you inherit the fridge? It seems odd to me that you might have bought an appliance if it contained such apparently useless features.

No, but I bought it 13 years ago online when 8 months pregnant and didn’t look closely at the internal areas

Actually, would small storage containers fit? Then you could store Carrot sticks, things like the mini cheese for lunchboxes, etc

I like this idea!

Hmmmm. Smaller jars go in but it feels silly as they are separated - I like a jar ‘area’. Won’t fit a taller jar of, say, jalapeños.

I have a nice cheese and meat drawer.

It’s nice

Small jars of condiments?
Babybels?
Little pots of wee you have to collect the night before a doctors appointment.
Hard boiled eggs.
Nail varnish.
Half a lemon wrapped in clingfilm.

They really do look totally pointless! The bottom lip of them is really small, so can't really hold sauces or anything as they would likely topple over. Odd shape so probably won't fit storage containers.. maybe cheese?

Precisely!!!!

Sauce bottles?! Condiments..

In the top ones with the railings I can pop in sauce but the square inserts are too small for the average jar
