What should you refrigerate?

Ever wondered what should go in the fridge and what can stay in the fruit bowl on the counter? Here's a list of things items that you might be putting in the wrong place:

Apples, apricots, canteloupe, honeydew and figs should be in the fridge.
Avocados, bananas, nectarines, peaches, pears, plums and tomatoes can go on the counter

Really? I have kept apples on my counter for as long as I can remember. Cateloupe and Honeydew too, as long as they haven't been cut up. And I usually keep tomatoes in the fridge, but I won't anymore. Does this list surprise you are all?

SURPRISED? yeah, if I were retarded I'd be surprised. wtf this is common knowledge

I disagree Stacy -- my family always kept our apples in the fruit bowl on the counter and judging by visits to other people's houses, I suspect we're not the only ones.

Thanks for your input

I don't know about the others, but tomatoes should defiantly not be kept in the fridge, it drains all their flavor.

tomatoes on the counter and apples in the fridge? According to who?? I see the article quotes a PhD in some places but it doesn't specifically quote them in regards to items in fridge or on counter.
