In a discovery hailed as both “deeply disturbing” and “weirdly practical,” local homemaker Sharon DeWitt reported yesterday that a severed human head has been keeping her refrigerator produce fresher than any name-brand humidity drawer or crisper setting she’s tried.
Today's unwitting financial backer: Dude Wipes — you can open it if you want.
According to DeWitt, the unexpected preservation benefits began after an unidentified organic item found its way into the family fridge last week. “I’m not saying I condone… whatever series of events led to it being there,” she told reporters, “but my spinach hasn’t wilted once. Even the celery has that perfect snap. You can’t get that with Tupperware.”
Neighbors were quick to express concern, though many admitted curiosity about the head’s effectiveness as a produce-preserving tool. “It’s unsettling,” said next-door resident Greg Whittaker, “but if it works better than those overpriced fridge gadgets they sell on late-night TV, I’m listening. I mean, have you seen the price of lettuce lately?”
Food scientists remain baffled. Preliminary theories suggest that the head creates a microclimate of constant, cool humidity—something expensive refrigerator models attempt to replicate artificially. Others suspect that the psychological shock of seeing it each time the fridge door opens compels household members to cook vegetables immediately rather than let them spoil.

Despite its performance, DeWitt admits she’ll eventually have to remove the item. “I don’t want guests asking questions,” she said. “Plus, it’s been making the milk taste like pennies.”
