Speaking of things staying good in the 'fridge, someone on FARK recently posted a link about Timestrips, "smart-labels" with built in timers that can count down days or weeks. The idea is that you slap one of these labels onto something open in your refrigerator, activate it and then have a better idea of how long it's been around. A dye inside the label creeps across at a consistent rate. As RealTechNews noted, the sniff check is probably all you'll ever need. Still, if for some reason you had a lot of different things to keep track of in your fridge, maybe something like this would help you keep your sanity. If that was the deciding factor of your sanity though, maybe you're the type of person that already has a neatly drawn chart with dates for what's in your icebox. At any rate, they're about $9 for a pack of 50.Labels tell you when your food is old
