Its green its moving and its in the fridge

The Radio station fridge is legendary... Never have so many germs grown in one place.
Never have so many food items been stolen. Whats your worst fridge story ????????????
 
it was back in the early 90s when i was with WAZL the 1st time around. our morning news guy was a
snuff dipper, and kept his spittle in farmer's iced tea containers when he "pinched" between newscasts.

one hot summer afternoon, i was out for a walk and came back to the station parched from the
weather....looking around for something nice and cold, i found, in the station's 'fridge, an ice-cold
what i thought was half full container of farmers iced tea. sahara-dry, i took a big gulp and........
....you can guess the rest.
 
At WICC, we had an announcer's lounge, complete with couch, phonograph, Oasis hot/cold water dispenser and Coke machine. No fridge as such. But the key to the Coke machine was behind a rack of audio processing equipment in the air studio and, one day, I went to get a Coke and found a bunch of soda bottles in there, plus someone's lunch, a jar of mayo and a few odds & ends of things that needed cooling.
 
I was working at a small country station in Virginia and there were two mini-fridges that were not cleaned for months. Somebody bought a tupperware container full of spaghetti and cream sauce and there it sat for weeks. Weeks turned into about two months. The thing grew hairy gray mold all over the top! A coke somebody put in the freezer exploded (like, literally made a boom noise and all that) and guess who got the privilege of defrosting the fridge?

Well, I left it in the garage overnight, and when I returned at 5:00 that morning the whole station REEKED! I thought a rat died in the vents. Went out to the garage to retrieve the fridge...and there it sat. Somebody knocked over the mini-fridge and this tupperware container dropped, spewing its moldy contents all over the garage floor. It took two days for the smell to dissipate, and I felt so dirty after cleaning it up, I had to run home and take a shower ;D

Needless to say, radio fridges are jungles. Be careful with the things that lurk within!!!

Where do I start.

Citadel WB/Scranton building (year left out)....not gross, but a bag of some interesting white powder.

Once while working in Florida, a completely rotten watermelon in the back of the fridge left after a parking lot picnic and forgotten to the point that it had grey fur growing inside of it.

Erie. Used condoms in the freezer. I plead the 5th on that one.

Also I'm sure that we've all seen the typical soda can in the freezer gone kaplooowy!
