I keep the new, unopened milk in the back of the main part of the fridge until it’s called to action for door duty
4 monthsI feel like most comments here are missing the point. I think you understand the concept of “first in, first out” and are just wondering if the “first” here should be closer to the door hinge or further.
In short, I say that the oldest milk should be placed further from the hinge.
My logic comes from my experience in the restaurant industry and actually arranging coolers. Optimally, you want to make it so that without thinking, in a rush, the first item a user sees is the oldest one. This is usually the item that is closest to the door/opening/user/whatever. In the case of storing items in the door itself, I would say that the further an item is from the hinge, the closer it is to the user.

Aligned oldest to newest in the back farthest from the door.

one milk at a time. Replace after the old one is used up

If today is shopping day and you have a days worth of milk left you’re not going to buy a new milk?

Then use the already open one? If I see multiple milk in my fridge, I find the one someone else opened already

I usually forget, but if I remember I just chug the remaining milk.

Well look at this fat cat here that can afford multiple milks…
Nah, for real, put the newest milk in the back, use up the oldest milk first.

My girlfriend puts the milk on the door… Ok, not preferred but not worth a fight. The issue is she puts it with handle facing out which barely fits and even flexs the little band of of plastic holding stuff to the door. If it is rotated 90 degrees it fits perfectly but according to her its “harder to pull out” since you need to lift and rotate instead of just lifting…
Is this appropriate grounds to break up?
/s yes it annoys me but not nearly enough to break up.

Consider the amount of strength required to make either movement. It might turn out that one way requires more strength than the other.

It’s takes more the way she does it because it scrapes across the plastic band adding friction…

Did you account for any height difference between you? If she’s shorter then it might still be harder for her to get leverage with the way it’s turned. Just throwing out possible reasons for her convictions idk lol
- vrek@programming.devEnglish4 months
Well she used to work in a warehouse so she should know how to put stuff on shelves.
Anyways I’m pretty sure the reason for her convictions was the bodies they found in the trunk…
J/K just a funny response to that phrase

I’d put them oldest further from the hinge. My logic is that they’d be closer to me when I open the door that way (same logic applies whether you store them in the door or fridge). However, of you have a weirdly designed fridge like mine, it makes more sense to keep them on the right side of the body of the fridge because we have double French style doors and it can be sort of cumbersome to try and open the right door and grab the milk if it’s sitting toward the middle away from the hinge due to the left door not being open and my arm bumping it / it being partially in the way. The left side is ruled out completely because there are shelves that are too low and don’t allow enough headroom for the milk.

I’m sorry, but WHAT?? What in the OCD hell is this? Who stacks milk in an order away or towards a hinge of a fridge door? Since when is either of these things an actual THING?

We buy milk every fortnight and the date ranges vary wildly, which results in expired milk if we’re not careful.

Sometimes they’re visible from the other side of the room, other times you need either a magnifying glass and a bright light whilst holding the bottle upside down.
It’s yo’ fridge
Do what you wanna do.
I ain’t gonna tell you
How to stock it, too.

Literally just throw it wherever. You know the milk you bought most recently, only open it after finishing the older one.
What do you mean you have 3 milks, wtf

My partner and I keep anywhere from 3 to 6 half gallons of milk in our fridge at a time. We’re plant based and the stores don’t sell them in full containers. I don’t actually know the milk I bought most recently because they typically all look the same. We try to keep them organized them by FIFO with the oldest in the front so we can grab and use those first without having to read the tiny “best by” dates.
