But you don't want to eat 'em now

How to Completely Ruin Roughly A Pound and a Half of Strawberries

  1. Go on a massive shopping trip to both Walmart and Costco, purchasing four pounds of strawberries from the latter.
  2. Upon unloading the groceries, shove the strawberries to the back of the fridge, which is the only place they'll fit.
  3. The next day, use a little over half of the strawberries to make some delicious homemade strawberry ice cream.  Be sure to tell the Internets about this so everyone can be jealous.
  4. Notice that some of the strawberries have frozen solid, which is a peril of all food that ends up too close to the back of the fridge. (Frozen salsa, anyone? How about sour cream?)
  5. Hope that only a few berries were affected, and rotate the carton so the remaining strawbs are closer to the front of the cooling receptacle. 
  6. Two days later, decide to cut up some strawberries for a little snacky-snack. Realize to your horror that ALL of the remaining strawbs had frozen and then thawed out, resulting in a mushy mess. 
  7. Contact your friends with small children to see whether they're interested in purchasing the latest all-natural strawberry baby food at a low, low cost!
  8. Rake in the dough?
