We’ve all got secrets hiding behind the fridge door. Maybe it’s that lonely jar of capers you swore you'd use, the leftovers you’re never really going to eat, or that Tupperware you’ve been too afraid to open. Don’t worry - you’re not alone.

Leftovers, lost causes &... ‘It still smells grand’

It turns out over half of us (57%) are hanging onto leftovers we have no intention of ever touching again. Whether it's last Friday’s takeaway or a dubious portion of pasta, we’re a hopeful (if slightly delusional) bunch.

And the mystery deepens - almost 1 in 4 people admit to having unidentified Tupperware in their fridge. You know the one. It’s been there so long it's practically part of the fridge.

The great fridge debate: Where do you keep your ketchup?

Ah yes, the age-old question: does ketchup belong in the fridge or the press? Two-thirds (67%) of you said fridge, but we know this one’s going to divide households. While we’re at it, 61% keep their eggs chilled, and 32% pop their chocolate in there too. No matter your stance, it seems fridge politics are alive and well in Irish homes.

Fridge clean freaks – V – the wait until it smells crew!

Only 10% of people clean their fridge weekly, while over a quarter wait until something smells off. Not ideal - but hey, we’ve all been there.

It’s no surprise then that the most wanted fridge feature is a self-cleaning mode, with 61% dreaming of the day they never have to scrub shelves again.

As for fridge organisation? Only 18% of us are full-on Marie Kondo fans. The rest? We're just trying to keep the yogurts from toppling over.

Whether you’re a neat freak or a condiment collector, we’ve got the perfect fridge to match your style (and your snacks). From sleek smart fridges to compact models ideal for smaller spaces, check out the full range of refrigeration products HERE and check out our buying guide HERE.
