    What kind of psychopath just throws food in the fridge without covering it first? Do you want it to dry out and taste like the lining on the refrigerator walls?

      I mean you could also wash your fridge if you food starts to taste like you fridge. thst drying thing is extremely valid tho.

      and it’s not like I would ever actually clean my fridge, but my food doesn’t get any taste either

    I didn’t know watermelon could do this. Who… Who buys watermelon and forgets it??? How does watermelon last longer than 4 days… At best?

    It’s watermelon! You buy it because you want to eat it now.

      Literally anything placed in fridge will do this if left uncovered. Fridges, freezers, air conditioners, etc., they all remove moisture.

          I put my steel in the fridge and it’s completely dried out now

          Granted, it wasn’t very wet when it went in

            If I fill a steel thermos with water and put it in the fridge, the water still doesn’t dry out even after months. I don’t know what that proves but I bet scientists will figure it out. I’ll be awaiting my Nobel Prize.

        Modern fridges have compartments with seals that keep the moisture a lot longer, designed particularly with vegetables and fruit in mind.

          Yeah but like I said earlier, your food will taste like the fridge itself if you don’t cover it, crisper drawer or otherwise.

            Oh, tell me about it. Someone in my household has a habit of regularly creating watermelon that tastes like onion.

      I didn’t know watermelon could do this.

      If done in a controlled environment, it’s apparently very tasty! I recently stumbled upon a tutorial somebody made recently about how to make watermelon jerky with a dehydrator. Apparently the flavor gets significantly sweeter. He was making it for hiking/survival purposes, so removing all the water weight lets you pack a lot of lightweight nutrients, too.

      The fridge has nothing else in it. I’m guessing it’s staged or the person literally forgot they had a fridge.
