I’m sure we’ve all had some delicious leftovers left over too long that turned into a fuzzy marsh. Perhaps, that extreme was only a few times, but more often we simply leave food just long enough that when we take a nice big bite out of that leftover garlic bread, we wonder “was that suppose to be sourdough bread?” The Digital Day Counter from HowManyDaysAgo.com attempts to prevent those situations with a device that attaches to our container lids either via magnetism or suction. With a press of a button, the LCD screen displays the number of days that particular container has sat in your fridge. I think it’d be more useful if when your food has surpassed its time, the device actually sounds an alarm when you open the fridge. Priced at $12.

Gee, only $12 each? Let’s see…for my fridge I’d need about thirty of those…so that’s $360! A bargain! Otherwise I have to keep track of that stuff myself, like a chump. A CHUMP I tell you!
I’d be happy with the ideal solution of a refrigerator that scans and read bar codes and list out what’s in the fridge – and ideally let me know when an item has expired.
I wouldn’t buy one of these unless I was poor and could only afford a mini fridge. :-p
