Take These 5 Items Out of Your Fridge Now One Day They Could Actually "Explode"
The fridge is supposed to be the safest place to store food and drinks, right? Not always. While refrigeration helps preserve most items, there are certain things you should never keep in the fridge. In fact, storing these items improperly can cause pressure to build up—leading to leaks, bursts, or even explosions. Here are five surprising items that could become dangerous ticking time bombs in your refrigerator.
1. Canned or Bottled Carbonated Drinks
Soda, sparkling water, and beer may seem perfectly fine in the fridge, but if left too long or stored in the freezer compartment, pressure can build up inside the cans or bottles. The result? They can explode, creating a fizzy mess—or worse, sending sharp fragments flying. Always store carbonated drinks upright and avoid placing them near the freezer zone.
2. Eggs in Their Original Carton on the Fridge Door
While eggs themselves won't explode, storing them in the fridge door where temperature fluctuates can cause condensation to form on the shells. This creates the perfect environment for bacteria to grow and spoil the eggs faster. In some cases, if the eggs go bad and pressure builds from gas-producing bacteria, they can crack or leak. Keep eggs on a stable, middle shelf instead.
3. Sealed Containers with Hot Food
Putting hot food directly into the fridge in a sealed container is a mistake many people make. The trapped heat causes condensation and steam, leading to pressure inside the container. This can result in the lid popping off—or worse, the container cracking or exploding. Always let hot food cool before sealing and refrigerating.
4. Glass Bottles with Homemade Juices or Fermented Drinks
Homemade juices and fermented drinks (like kombucha or ginger beer) continue to produce gas even after refrigeration. If they’re stored in tightly sealed glass bottles, pressure can build up and cause them to explode. If you’re making these at home, always leave room for gas expansion or use plastic bottles with pressure-release caps.
5. Aerosol Whipped Cream or Spray Cans
Yes, even whipped cream can be dangerous if mishandled. Aerosol cans are pressurized and should never be stored near the back of the fridge or in freezing conditions. Extreme cold can destabilize the canister and cause it to burst. Always store spray cans upright, away from extreme cold zones.
