And depending on your refrigerator’s settings and insulation, the door compartments may be cold enough for more stable things but not for things like milk. Too me a bit to figure out having the milk in the door was both convenient and cutting its lifetime down a lot. Only takes a few degrees, plus the large door shelf is usually higher up, where the warmer air is.
Some may find it fun to nerd out, get a Bluetooth temp sensor, track a handful of places in fridge & freezer to figure it out 🙂
Also good for ongoing alerts of temp escalations (beyond the usual, since refrigerators make themselves really cold until they warm up a bit and make themselves cold again).
If I had to guess, it’s because the back/top of the fridge is more prone to freezing.
This is it. The door is warmer than the back and the mayo will separate if frozen

That’s annoying - it’s the only place my milk fits. And my shelves aren’t adjustable enough to change that unless I remove a shelf
You can lay it on its side
No you can’t.
This also helps prevent the cork from drying out
Ahh a connoisseur I see.
I’ve had enough milk leaks to know not to do that. The stink is unreal.

Also easier/more convenient to locate.
