I think we keep eggs in the fridge as a result of being paranoid about the harm they can do if not right, I have never really thought any more about it, mine are in the fridge!! LOL. If they don't need to be, I will keep them elsewhere.

How many people also don't realise that Milk should only be kept for 3-days after opening, even if the use-by date has a week on it?

Tommy-K, that should be kept in the fridge too apparently!!
