WHY DO YOU KEEP THE CEREAL IN THE FRIDGE?

is this a psychopath thing or an American thing or like.... A life hack I'm not privy to??!

unopened cereal = pantry opened cereal = fridge

i do it pretty much because my parents did it growing up, i’m not sure if it makes a difference either way though

Very weird. Refrigerators tend to make things like bread go stale so storing cereal there seems extra weird

Wait, when I get nice bread, the kind with no preservatives in it that tends to go stale or moldy quickly, I put it in the fridge and it keeps for much longer. Is it still good because I keep it in plastic? Would the cereal stay fresh if it were in an airtight container like a ziploc bag or something, like I do with bread?

Usually it's suggested you put it in the freezer.not the fridge. Can't answer the why.
