cupboard, fridge, doesn't matter much to me... i've had a bottle go off in a locker on the boat once and you never forget it... fridge is the safer bet mind, takes up the door shelf though

door shelf is exactly where it lives, that's the whole point. it fits, it's meant to fit there. the shelf with the little lip on it, why do you think they mould it like that

aye but the shelf lip is for the milk... my sister does the same thing, bottle in the door then the milk ends up wedged behind the eggs... always an argument in that house over who moved what

tell your sister to rotate the bottles, tall stuff on the right short stuff on the left, my wife sorted our door shelf with a bit of tape as a divider and now nobody argues. well. less

tape divider... aye that sounds like something Tommy would've rigged up in the crew house to stop the milk rolling about. never worked of course, he'd still move it back just to wind you up

okay but hear me out - does anyone else's household have a designated shelf that no one is actually allowed to use? my upstairs neighbour and I had a whole conversation about cupboard politics in the building and it's surprisingly intense for a Tuesday. gearhead, was the bottle on the door shelf before your wife got involved with the tape or after? i'm trying to picture the shelf hierarchy here

before. bottle just rolled about and the milk got shoved behind the eggs exactly like oldsalt says. tape divider went in a few months ago and sorted it. shelf rule now is tall stuff left, her stuff right, ketchup wedged in the middle where the lip is. nobody touches it, not even her

counter. the door shelf is the warmest spot in the whole fridge, it goes room temp every time you open it. keeping it there is basically storing it in a cupboard with extra steps. ketchup on the counter, case closed
