Where would you put a bag of avocados?

[Soveryhungry]

Last week I bought a bag of cheap ripen at home avocados. I put them in a bag on the windowsill and 2 days ago saw that they were lovely and ripe and remember thinking it was time to put them in the fridge.

Except I didn't. They are definitely not on the windowsill any more, so I clearly moved them. And yet they are not in the fridge, or in any other food cupboard.

So mumsnet, where have I put the stupid things? Suggestions welcome...! I even just checked under the stairs.

Husband threw them away because they went to mush..... if you saw they were ripe you should have eaten them immediately..... They will be brown and yucky now.

Has the window been open? Could a fox or something have come and nabbed them?

Otherwise: a windowsill in a cooler room?

Fruit bowl?

Where would I put them? In the bin.

Mine are in the fruit bowl as usual.

Not in the fruit bowl sadly.

All other windowsills clear of avocados too.

DH denies all responsibility!

Where would you put a bag of avocados?

In the bin - they're horrible.

In the freezer we found a food mixer and a can of deodorant in there before

Good thought @Theunamedcat, just checked and they're not there though .

I did once put the remote control in the fridge so I'm worried they could be anywhere.

Vegetable rack?

Under the stairs? kids toy box? Office? Tumble dryer? All examples of where I've put things

What were you doing when you saw they needed going in the fridge?

If say, you were sorting washing - did you put them on top of the basket and put them on top of the washing machine or in the clothes basket (sorry if you find them)?

On a book case / in toy box? Next to some ornaments?

I once put some in the airing cupboard to ripen and only remembered when I got hold of one by accident.

I was cooking some breakfast when I decided to put them in the fridge, that's all I remember unfortunately.

Have checked with the vegetables (and all the kitchen cupboards), looked in the toy box (just in case!) too and no joy. Airing cupboard is a good thought - that seems like something I would do. Off to check there next.

In the bin. I hate them.

But I think they go in the fridge.

Put them in a brown paper bag with a banana for a couple of days and they will ripen perfectly.

Only working with half a poorly braincell atm, just ignore me

Do you have a cupboard where you keep your tinned food?
I have put things in there by mistake

Well it's a mystery. I have checked everywhere suggested but they are nowhere to be found. I am feeling like they're sitting somewhere laughing at me. DH swears he hasn't touched them.

Damn those stupid avocados.

In the garage? That’s where I stash veg that I want to keep cool but not refrigerate to death.

My guess: they will be put on a random surface when you got distracted on the way to put them in the fridge. Sideboard, shoes bench, phone charger table etc etc

Have you put them in the freezer?

In the microwave? Airing cupboard?

Bread bin?

Any chance you took them out of the bag, then put in fridge?

Look for avocados and not a bag maybe? It’s the sort of thing I’d do.
