"Let's face it: Sometimes the bottom drawer of the fridge is nothing more than a black hole. We've all probably brought home a haul of fresh fruits and veggies, only to find them wilted or worse, moldy, in the same place a few weeks later. The issue? Many of us just don't eat what we can't see. Thankfully, one TikToker has a super-smart solution to prevent food waste."
"According to Davis, that type of forgetfulness - issues with working memory and the need to be visually cued to remember things - can be common among neurodivergent folks, including those with ADHD. Davis wanted to create her own visual reminder, but when she stared down her fridge shelves, she thought she just didn't have the space to cram more food in. Then, it hit her: She had tons of "front row" space in the door where she had been storing her condiments."
Many people forget produce stored in fridge drawers, leading to wilted or moldy fruits and vegetables and increased food waste. A practical storage approach places items intended for regular consumption on refrigerator door shelves, where visibility is higher. This method leverages visual cues to counteract working memory challenges common among neurodivergent individuals and those with ADHD. Licensed counselor KC Davis repurposed door space previously used for condiments to create a 'front row' display for produce. The repositioning keeps produce in sight and accessible, making it more likely to be eaten before spoiling and reducing household food waste.
