Learned the hard way: my stored digital organizer had a battery ready to burst
I mean, I opened my old Casio PDA and the lithium cell was puffed up like a pillow, idk when it happened. That thing could have leaked or even caught fire, and tossing it in the trash spreads toxic stuff. Maybe it's just me, but I found out some community centers take old gadgets for safe recycling now. So please, pull the batteries from your forgotten tech before you store it away.

Glad you caught it before it turned your drawer into a science project.

Been there... had a whole bag of potatoes go bad in the back of a cabinet once. The smell was awful. Now I keep a small box of baking soda in there to soak up moisture, seems to help.

Guess my fridge is trying to start its own penicillin farm.
