What is in your garage dedicated refridgerator?

If you have a fridge in your shop, basement, or workshop you qualify to play. If not, you have to go buy one first.

Here is my list:

Sundrop Coca Cola Diet Mt Dew Orange Crush Bottled Water La Crosse Lager Leinenkugal's Miller Lite Various Hot Pockets

Beer, booze, and some frozen stuff in the freezer. Sometimes food ends up in it because the house fridge is not very big.

I only put water and pop in it when I'm going to be in the garage most the day.

I also have a 1960s era 7-Up machine that holds bottles. I only crank that dude up when we have a big party, everyone gets a kick out of it.

Nothing. It's plenty cold enough to freeze everything out there without wasting the electricity.

I'm afraid to open it to look. We used to use that fridge to keep live blackworms that we fed to our discus back when we had time for high-maintenance fish. After we got out of that hobby, the fridge sat for a bit and developed something of a stank. So I did the only responsible thing and sealed it up with packing tape and stuck it under the workbench of doom. One day, I'm going to pull it out, unseal it, vomit a few times, and then clean it out and start using it.

One day.

Various colours of mould and horrible smells at the moment. Otherwise its usually beer, water and glues/sealants.

This. I don't have a fridge in the garage, but everything in there has been frozen solid since new years.

Best to just kick it out of the airlock.

Same here. In fact if I were to put beer or wine in the garage it would freeze and the bottle would crack. This winter sucks big time. In fact it's snowing again right now here in Southern New England. An ATV just flew by on the street in front of my house. Last Sunday I was in South Florida and it was 82 degrees. I miss that.

In reply to TIGMOTORSPORTS: Tools. When it quite working a few decades ago Grandpa used it to store tools in instead of hauling it off. Pretty handy actually.

4 kegs of homebrew and a bunch of yeast in the fridge, many pounds of hops in the freezer.

Most metal answer so far.

As for me: Pepsi Max, water, about 15 lbs of assorted citrus, Tyson frozen buffalo wings and about 25 lbs of various parrot foods. Oh, and batteries for some reason.

Miller. Usually a couple of cases plus the odd can of something else. My guys usually have beer or two after work on fridays.

I used to keep it fully stocked all the time.

Now there is nothing in it. If it's in there I'll drink it and I'm fat enough already. Now I mostly drink water. The fridge was unplugged last summer and is just taking up space now. I'm thinking about turning it into a smoker. It would make a cool smoker.

I have about a 12-pack of yeungling and 2 gallons of Milo's sugar-free sweet tea. My wife keeps her kimchi and kimchi fixings in there too. We have "discussions" about fridge space. Sometimes she takes my beer out to make room for her stuff. The freezer next to it is full of her Korean food stuff. I get one shelf in the house fridge.

I guess so, but the weirder thing is it's true.

Don't forget- we homeschool. There are any number of science experiments that might be in our fridge at any given time.

And my wife wouldn't have the damned thing in the house fridge, that's for sure.

So, it's in the shop fridge. It's sitting right next to the Yuengling.

Refrigerator ~5 CF dorm size, under the work bench is the beererator, usually Shiner Bock, some and/or multiple flavors of Leinenkugel, High Life, and Yuengling if I can smuggle/bootleg it, impossible to find this side of the Mississippi. Bottom shelf is the catch all of random beverages guests leave behind. There's bottled water and a bottle of marshmallow vodka in there too.

21 CF GE upright freezer has about 30 lbs of beef, some bacon, and a bunch of frozen veggies.
