A while back, many moons ago, I got an onion saver (like this one). I was very excited about it, promptly washed it, and put half an onion inside. Well, I was cleaning out the refrigerator, and moved the ever present boxes of Mountain Dew, only to discover my onion saver. The one that had been there for months!

Oh dear. I could only imagine what was going to be waiting inside the long forgotten onion saver. In fact, I even got brave and pulled out my Flip to document the opening of the onion. I knew it would likely be gross, or at the very least, really weird, so why not make a video, right? I even had a dream about it, in which the onion had started to grow and was sending out roots and shoots from within the onion saver.

Well…

It wouldn’t even open! Something happened in there, and the whole thing was sealed shut. I probably could have tried harder to open it up. It’s possible with some “encouragement” it would have opened. But really, I was scared to see what was in there. It promptly went into the trash, and someday I will get a new one. And hopefully not lose it in the fridge.

     I hope that you find it empty, and not locked up. They are fun and handy to have around, provided you don’t forget them. LOL.
