While most people are debating whether or not peanut butter goes in the refrigerator, some are stuffing their Frigidaires with Charmin.

Thats right, its a TikTok hack that you probably never saw coming: toilet paper in the fridge.

Followers of the trend claim a roll of toilet paper will absorb smelly odors inside fridges. Its meant to work the same way as most people use an open box of baking soda for fridge smells.

It may sound like some silly new TikTok trick but the idea actually first appeared in 2015. Now, its popping up on social media again.

Put a toilet paper in your fridge in a corner where it fits and then just leave it there, says TikToker SmartFoxLifeHacks in a video. It is important that you replace the roll about every three weeks. For reasons of hygiene, you should also only put a roll in your fridge straight from the packaging and not put it near your toilet!

So you may be wondering: does it work?

Somewhat, but only temporarily. The tried-and-true baking soda method remains the number one solution for most households (not to mention baking soda is a lot cheaper than toilet paper). Los Angeles Times once reported, More refrigerators are likely to have baking soda than working light bulbs.

And because theres no end to the amount of hacks you can find on TikTok, yet another video recommends adding a baking soda-water mixture onto a toilet roll and then placing the roll in your fridge. Sounds potentially messy.

Regardless of how you use baking soda, be aware: after deodorizing a fridge with baking soda, dont use the contents for baking its contaminated.

Other things that work include activated charcoal and vanilla extract. Soak a cotton ball in vanilla and place it in the refrigerator itll smell like a bakery.

Some refrigerators today also have ultraviolet light filters to handle odors.

One more suggestion: crumpled newspaper and crushed charcoal. Youll have to replace the newspaper every day for about a week.

Youd think people wouldnt waste toilet paper after 2020..

So is it just short videos of somebody placing toilet paper in a fridge? Seems rather harmless.

Yeah, I wasn't aware people were having a problem with this. One box of baking soda every 3 months. IIRC, it's right on the box.

Oh, thought it'd be so you have a nice chill wipe after a spicy deuce.

This is pretty tame compared to the deranged shit that usually goes on there

Better not see a half used roll in anyones fridge or Im calling the cops.

Entirely on brand though.

clean your fridge and a box of baking soda absorbs scents aswell

They'll be back to chugging dish soap as a cure for foot pain or whatever soon enough, trust me >_> The severity of Tiktok stupidity comes in waves, like an ocean tide.

Why are there smelly odors in the fridge in the first place? Clean that shit.

The TP trick may absorb the smell in the air, but nothing for the lingering smell in the walls of the fridge.

Fuck that
I put a bidet in my fridge

People who have the peanut butter that needs stirring. Refrigerating it stops the oils from separating out again.
