We tried this in the PC Kitchen/Laboratory, and it works! Perishables that come home from the supermarket with you in plastic containers, such as cottage cheese and yogurt, should be stored in the fridge upside down once they are opened, for an amazingly prolonged shelf life.

Part Two: Is This Fun Worth It?
