    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

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

      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.
