We do oldest milk is closest to you as you open the door. Meaning furthest away from hinge.
Reason: convenience and behavior encourages you to grab the closest first.
I use oat ‘milk’ that only needs to go into the fridge when open. So only one at a time and wherever there is a free slot.
People still drink milk?
How are you going through milk fast enough to warrant a system
Milk comes in 1.5 litre bottles, there’s two of us, we have it in coffee, tea, omelets , and occasionally in porridge, we shop once a fortnight, you do the maths.
Neither. The “current” milk is standing, the rest is laid down on the shelves towards the back. This keeps it at a stable temperature, there is no ambiguity about which to grab, and keeps valuable door space free from clutter.
It depends on the user(s). Which position do you naturally reach for first? That’s where the oldest stock goes, with newer stock “behind” that in descending order of age. You always want to rotate stock, such that the oldest stock gets used up first.
I don’t care.
Milk goes at the back of the fridge
You have too much 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.
Yep. FIFO. First in first out.
Aligned oldest to newest in the back farthest from the door.
anything else invites ruin
Civilization depends on order and shared values.
Would the order be different in an imported fridge?
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?
Why would it matter, then? Buy new milk, put it in the fridge wherever you want, finish the previous container, move new container to its proper spot.
This isn’t that difficult to solve.
I usually forget, but if I remember I just chug the remaining milk.
Then use the already open one? If I see multiple milk in my fridge, I find the one someone else opened already
Me too.
It’s yo’ fridge
Do what you wanna do.
I ain’t gonna tell you
How to stock it, too.
You gotta live your life,
Cereal if you want it too
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.
Are the expiry dates not too visible on the milk?
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.
