Huh. My syrup is in the fridge. I should go move it.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Yes, because it's syrup, it doesn't freeze!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I've never refrigerated maple syrup or had it go bad on me. I just keep it in the pantry.

“Not dead yet!”
I've never heard of this! What was the purported reason for putting them in the fridge? To keep them from getting stale?
Yep. Sure sign you're in South Florida is going to the beach with a big picnic, opening a bag of chips and within an hour or so, they're stale and kind of bendy from the humidity. However, putting the bag in the fridge was sort of redundant, since you'd pull them out and if you didn't open the bag immediately and let them air out, they'd gather condensation and then be soggy, so... EUGH.
Plus, they'd get a weird taste to them, being in the fridge.
I will say, it kept me from eating chips excessively until I was in college.

Because books.
I've never thought to put syrup in the fridge. It would make the pancakes cold!
I have a friend who refrigerates everything, though -- peanut butter, syrup, bread. She seems to operate on some weird "If it's been opened, it goes in the fridge" principle.

Most people I know heat syrup so it doesn't really matter. I actually use it mostly in things, not on things, so temperature doesn't really matter.

I do this too, which is funny because I'm not someone who is worried about things going bad. Mostly, I think it's a cleanliness/neatness thing, and the fact that there's more room there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'll definitely put things in the fridge because there's room there.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Our fridge has the least amount of room.

I think it's also a remnant of first living as an adult in DC without air conditioning.
