We know you're supposed to keep milk and beer in the fridge, but apparently, the fridge is not for everything.

When it comes to food, I can be a know-it-all. I know how many calories are in one egg, how many ounces of chicken you should eat at each serving, roughly what 1/4 cup of shredded cheese looks like and I can cut a pineapple like a boss... but I still didn't guess all of these 8 foods you shouldn't refrigerate.

Most of my foodie knowledge comes from the hours I used to spend in front of the Food Network in college, which is where this list comes from, thus I trust it.

Did you know not to put these foods in the fridge?

  1. Tomatoes (store them on the counter... I knew this one!)
  2. Melon (don't put them in the fridge until they're cut)
  3. Potatoes (keep them in a cool, dark place)
  4. Onions (don't refrigerate these until they're cut)
  5. Garlic (keep them cool, dry, and ventilated)
  6. Apples (what??? I disagree)
  7. Berries (seriously?)
  8. Stone fruit (nectarines, plums, peaches, keep them out of the fridge, too!)
