FRIDGE API - Best Practices

1. Always store your cheese in a state of high entropy

Don't be a hero. If you can't even get the fridge to open, it's not worth the risk of getting your arm stuck.

Use a combination lock. Use a combination of complex algorithms and secret passwords to ensure only the most worthy of individuals gain access.

And for the love of all things good and holy, NEVER store expired milk at the back of the fridge. It's like that one aunt who just won't leave.

2. Don't make the fridge a graveyard for leftovers

Avoid the temptation of the 3-day-old pizza. Trust us, it will not end well.

Use the 5-day rule: if it's been 5 days or more, it's time to let it go. Don't be that person who's still eating 6-day-old Chinese takeout.

And for the love of all things good and holy, NEVER store last week's Chinese takeout in a ziplock bag. It's like that one cousin who just won't leave.

3. Label your food with reckless abandon

Use a Sharpie. Use a Sharpie with a sense of desperation. Use a Sharpie that's been used as a makeshift paint can for 3 years.

Label it with the date. Label it with the contents. Label it with a picture of a chicken. Label it with a cryptic message from a secret society.

Just remember, if it's not labeled, it's not safe.

4. Store your condiments in a state of controlled chaos

Don't be a slave to the condiment shelf. Let the ketchup and the mustard duke it out in a battle of wits and sauce.

Store the sriracha at the top, where it can watch over the other condiments with an iron fist.

Store the mayonnaise in the back, where it can plot its revenge against the ketchup.
