    Condiments are the death of refrigerator space. All different sizes, almost never consumed quickly, and they eat up space waiting to be used.

      I keep mine in bins in the dedicated condiment fridge, but then my wife has a condiment addiction so my situation may be abnormal.

          Technically not exclusively condiments, we put drinks and fruit in there too, and the freezer has its own situation. But we have what I suppose would be a breakfast nook if we were into that sort of thing, and an extra fridge after moving in, and the aforementioned condiment addiction, so one thing led to another…

        If you look closely, you’ll see that syrup is structural, load bearing syrup. That’s why it’s in the fridge.

        Why would you look at this and not understand the door shelves are full too?

        Syrup lasts longer in the fridge, particularly real maple syrup. It can get mold growing on it.

          why would you look at this and not understand that there is likely some expired or never used product that could be thrown out to make room in the door shelves?

        I put my condiments in the veggie drawers and my veggies on the shelves, lol. Can more easily see what I still have and if it’s going bad. Too many goopy cilantro or zucchini experiences
