Photographic film

Not my parents, me. Brown sugar goes in the freezer so it doesn't dry out and become a piece of granite.

I heard Australians put cereal in the fridge because of bugs

Vanilla extract.

Paint brushes and rollers.

Lotions and meds

We kept milk in the freezer.

How long does it take you to eat the bread that mold starts to appear ??? In my house bread is pretty much gone in two days, most times less than that.

Someone I lived with temporarily kept the processed parmesan cheese (the dusty stuff in a jar) in the cupboard instead of the fridge. It baffled me.
