What NON-food items do you keep in your fridge and/or freezer?
For example, someone once put a rubber chicken in my freezer as a joke and he lives there now.

Film. I'm an avid photographer, and I need to keep the food for my Holga and Konica fresh!
And freezer thingies, those pseudo ice things, so that when I go on a food excursion I can get everything home in good shape.

2 frozen cooler packs, baking soda(for freshness), small plastic container with 1/8 cup coffee beans(for smelling fresh), eye gel pack

You would do well to not buy the marketing ploy about baking soda doing much of anything in your refrigerator or freezer.
See here.
Also, eye gel pack scares me.

my mom keeps eyeliner in the freezer and nail polish in the fridge. go figure.
i keep spoons in the freezer. the rounded end of the cold spoon does wonders on days when the baggage under my eyes is pretty heavy.

My boyfriend sometimes puts broken harddrives in the freezer. I don't know why, exactly, but maybe some of the techies among us can shed some light.

Cold is a techies best friend, just yesterday I put an ailing projector in the fridge for almost an hour, and BOOM, it's all better. I've been known to put in laptops, hard drives, and once I ALMOST put in a monitor, but it wouldn't fit.

We have an eye gel pack in our fridge too! It does wonders for itchy eyes during allergy season or anytime anyone has swollen eyelids. We did have a Luna moth in the freezer for awhile. I don't know why my husband was saving it (in a jar), but I got tired of moving it around and finally threw it out.

Gel eye packs are a gift from God Himself! I have one in my freezer, plus cold packs and a part from a squirt gun that my son put in there. Not sure how he expects to use the squirt gun if the water is frozen....

Vitamins, ice cream maker parts, and ice packs.

I just want to know about this rubber chicken...
I have ice packs in mine - those blue gel type things

Two big freezing gel packs, one eye drop, few expensive nail polish I keep in the freezer.

I seem to remember that there was a rumor that keeping stockings/panyhose in the freezer prevented runs...

I keep refrigerator advertising magnets in the freezer. I hate anything on the outside of my fridge, but like the little magnets from my vet, doctor, dentist, pizza place, etc... with their phone numbers. I just have to open the freezer and they are there on the inner wall.

Frozen cooler packs and my lavender-filled eye pillow for when I feel a migraine coming on.
Oddest thing ever in the freezer has to be my pet iguana that died when I was 17. A reptile specialist wanted to look him over before I buried him, so I popped him in a big Ziploc and into the freezer door.
However, I forgot to inform my Mom of this plan. Things became very colorful when she opened the freezer and saw the "iguana pop" staring back at her.

Batteries in the freezer and a teething duckie in the fridge.

Freeze packs, pastry mixer blades, and I think I saw Jimmy Hoffa in my freezer last week.......

Plates or bowls to use for ice cream or any food I want to eat really cold.

The only things other than food in my fridge/freezer right now are some film, blue ice freezer packs and the canister from my ice cream maker.

Am I too much a foodie if the only non-food items in there are the freezer and refrigerator thermometers?
Where's my "Geek" shirt ...

Batteries.
DocChuck at 10:35AM on 05/19/07
Ice packs, aloe gel, and vanilla body spray (it's nice to spray when it's really hot outside, plus you smell nice!)
jenki at 10:57AM on 05/19/07
My ice cream maker canister, ice packs for my gym-scarred joints, and...I think that's it!
MegB at 1:39PM on 05/19/07
Oh, and in the summer - body lotion. Very refreshing.
MegB at 1:44PM on 05/19/07
Blue ice, son's girlfriend's ice cream bowl, candles and wax scent disks for the ceramic scent diffuser. Oh, and while baking soda may or may not do anything for odor prevention it is still used in the preparation of food, so I don't think that really counts.

For awhile we had a dead turtle in the freezer. It was my pet and he died during the winter when the ground was too frozen to bury him. So my mom stuck him in the freezer until the ground thawed. He was tiny, so we barely knew he was there...
