I have never heard of anyone keeping super glue in a fridge!!! no wonder you guys have massive sized fridges over there, to fit all the non food items that would be extremely dangerous. It would be then accessible by my twins with disabilities who are extremely light fingered and have no impulse control. nope Supper glue is hidden and I buy those single use tubes. The person you quoted has her location as Australia so your continual putting down of Americans (as "you guys over there" ) is unwarranted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to google it increases the shelf life, but I do it just because that’s what I’ve always done. I thought it was an Australian wide thing, my parents (WA) did it and so did my husband’s (NSW), one of the few things that didn’t seem to change from coast to coast. Obviously you have additional considerations beyond just optimal storage conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World wide it is known that American fridges are huge. the standard fridge here is what you guys refer to as a unit or flat fridge.

The junk drawer is where things go to get lost. I get the weird location so you can find things. We share a farm with the in-laws. For years fil had “the truck” when the girls got into Girl Scouts, I quickly became the fair float mom. Fair floats need staple guns, so I bought one on the way to our first fair float decorating event and dropped it into the door pocket of fil’s truck. I’m pretty sure the only time that staple gun gets used is at fair time, so it has been in the door pocket of the truck for 15 years. We acquired our own truck last year. A few days before the bitter cold last week, dh called while I was out shopping and asked if I would pick up a staple gun. I reminded him there was one in the door of his dads truck. He laughed and asked if I thought it was still there and I said of course! It’s been there over 10 years, where else would it be? I did buy a staple gun. When I got home he was stapling away and laughed and said incredulously it was in the door of dads truck! I laughed and said what do you want me to do with the one I just bought. He stopped and tipped his hat back and said I don’t know… so I opened the door of our truck and dropped it in the door pocket and said we’ll always know where it is. He laughed and laughed and the next time he went to his dads put that staple gun back into his truck. And that’s the story of how two families always know where the staple gun is, it’s in a weird place in the truck. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy in NH Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Haven't read all of the responses... Rechargeable batteries lose charge more quickly in colder temperatures, so we store ours in the office, but I'm seriously considering moving them into the cellar-way where the (in-the-house) tools are kept. I have purposely acquired over a few years a comfy number of nice Tenergy rechargeable 9V, AAA & AA, along with smart charging banks and C & D adapters. They live in a decent battery case from Amazon when they are not either in use or charging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storing batteries in a fridge is not a good idea, even if they are in a ziplock. We have a battery organizer on a wall in a room. https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Organizer-Storage-Removable-Batteries/dp/B01N80S2UX/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=battery+organizer&qid=1672615466&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFLRVVUWEJOS01HNlQmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA4MDU3MDFBQ05USDFFVkdZV1UmZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMTA0NjUyNkVPQ0JXN1RHOU0yViZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl That's very similar to the one we have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
