Refrigerator

This is my fridge:


Actually, it's not my fridge, but it's the fridge that came with my house. Note how there is only enough room in this fridge for two gallons of milk. Yes, two gallons. I go through two gallons of milk in a matter of days, so this is a problem. No matter how I've re-arranged (or removed) the wire racks, however, the fridge still only fits two gallons. Until last week.

The door of my fridge is a little bit ridiculous in that it has this can-holder built into it:


I don't even drink stuff out of cans, generally speaking. And I certainly can't remember the last time I ever bought a canned drink. I was really annoyed that my door had so much wasted space, until I got the grand idea to remove the wiring for the can holder. Once I had done so, guess what I discovered? I could fit another whole gallon of milk in there! Observe:


Yes, it does stick out a little:


And yes, I do have to be careful as I open the door to make sure it doesn't fall out:


But hey, overall I think it's a pretty good solution! Now I can fit THREE gallons of milk in my refrigerator, and only go to the store once or maybe twice a week, instead of every other day.

Hahaha. Awesome. I love the step-by-step showing of how it fits. I'd've never thought of taking out the can thing.

This is my fridge with milk.

Any questions?

Geez! And I thought I went through a lot of milk! Sorry about your stupid fridge. Been there - still kind of am. The fridge we have now has a couple of unexplainable pieces and some wasted space that I could really use. We should invent the perfect fridge.
