Name an item that you've had in your frig. for 20+ years

[snot]

Only mention particular items, e.g., don't include ketchup unless you're talking about the same, unique bottle of ketchup.

I've got a 20+ -year bottle of pomegranate soda.

1. Thanks snot. I would throw it away.

2. A stupid freezer thermometer

It’s always in the way and we never check it. It’s a freezer. If everything’s hard as a rock, it’s working. No need to check or keep a log for scientific purposes…

3. What brand of refrigerator you got that's lasted 20 years?

I haven't had that kind of luck. Seems like all they make anymore is junk.

[snot]

4. Reasonable question.

Not the same frig., just the same bottle.

I'm beginning to wonder if my question is only relevant for people who live alone.

I've got lots of ancient condiments as well.

5. Should probab;y...

Rotate stock.

I have moved too many times to have anything for 20 years.

11. Well, not 20 years, but

I recently cleaned out the door of my refrigerator and it was full of condiments that were a decade past their prime! And yes, I live alone!

10. Ha!

The thermometer is a metal one that hangs on a rack. I think it’s lasted for three fridges. 🙂

12. A Kelvinator

I recently completed a deep clean inside and outside of our Kelvinator. It's a fridge that we keep for extra food storage, it's 14 cu ft.

I discovered the serial and model number when I took the crisper drawer. This refrigerator was manufactured in June of 1992 which makes it 34 years old this month.

Electrolux owns Kelvinator and today they only make Kelvinator's for commercial and not residential use.

I don't know how much life this Kelvinator has left in it. Just for fun I've been looking online at the classic retro looking refrigerators that are between 12 to 16.5 cu ft.

13. You got a keeper. Hang on to that one.

[Niagara]

14. I will for as long as it keeps running.

6. Not sure what it is.

7. Im Guessing Just One

A bottle of grappa I bought in Italy around 2001 or 2002.
Really high end version of it. It was almost a hundred bucks then.
It's an extremely acquired taste & I don't drink much, so it's lasted a very long time.
Keeping it cold keeps the vapor pressure of the alcohol & volatile flavor components low.
Since it's been opened over 2 decades I figure keeping it cold maintains the flavor.

8. My parents had a Zenith chest freezer that ran for 52 years.

The only problem it had until it died was the light bulb burned out after about 40 years.

--* Sigh *-- they don't build 'em like they used to......

[greatauntoftriplets]

9. Nothing.

My refrigerator is only 2-1/2 years old.

15. A Light Bulb

16. Sourdough starter...

Okay, maybe not 20 but it almost made it that long. I don't recall the year of origin but I know I had it before my great nephew was born....but he is soon to be 17. I tossed it about a year ago. Up until a few weeks prior I used/fed it fairly regular.

17. Mine is about 15 years old

And the oldest things in it are the shelves.
