What's the problem?

The insulation is so it doesn't spoil on my 45 minute commute, not so I can keep it on my desk for 4 hours until lunchtime.

Smart to insulate their lunch from the refrigeration?

if the foods already cold, then that doesnt matter.

If it doesn't matter why put it in the fridge?

frontrowcougar

6/27/18 9:55am

because the insulated packs arent rated for more than an hour? lol

coltonbyu

So your thought process is: keep it kinda cool while you drive to work, then

frontrowcougar

Cause the office fridge is gross. You need to think about ambient temperatures

he seems very confused to this process

coltonbyu

Yep. Very confused by insulating food inside the refrigerator.

analogy doesnt line up

:sigh: It comes out of the fridge cold, goes into insulated bag, stays

coltonbyu

The insulated bag is for the commute. It's to get the food TO the fridge

Is there not enough room? It's not like an insulated lunch bag is a Yeti cooler.

TaiJuan

huh? why would that make them either?

Those are just to keep things cool during transport to work. Not to sit

But why would you want to insulate your lunch from the refrigeration AND

A) they aren't super efficient so you still get the cold fridge temp. B) they're barely larger.

My workplace has way more fridge space than is usually used, it's fine.

russkiejedi

6/27/18 10:35am

In that case, you are neither stupid nor inconsiderate. You're just spoiled.

frontrowcougar

6/27/18 10:38am

Pretty much everyone in the world does that

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.

really running out of things to complain about now, arent you

coltonbyu

6/27/18 9:55am

I don't think it's dumb they put it in the fridge instead of keeping it at their

Martin Van Nostrand

if space is an issue then i see the complaint, but if not (like my work) then

coltonbyu

6/27/18 10:01am

Exactly.

frontrowcougar

6/27/18 10:03am

If it's something more like A than B, I see your point. Otherwise, meh.

That's a thirsty dude.

So throw a lose sandwich, cheese stick and drink in the fridge? Or transfer it

I was assuming people put their lunch in a tupperware container or ziploc bag

Looks like a resource problem. If your fridge is that packed they need to get a

TaiJuan

he has multiple opinions here, besides just space

coltonbyu

6/27/18 12:14pm

I have said nothing about food spoiling. I don't think your lunch will spoil

frontrowcougar

6/27/18 12:26pm

but that last part is false, thats my point

coltonbyu
