Debatable Uses for Binder Clips: Storing Beer

"Use a binder clip to keep beer stacked" by Muteboy

Two friends, Jay Zee and Are Jay, sent me the link to a binder clip use reported on a Lifehacker posting that picked up on a Flickr photo by Matthew Petty.

The comments in the Lifehacker post point out some of the issues with this:

• Beer probably shouldn't be stored on its side
• Fridge space is wasted when bottles are stacked on their sides
• Many fridges do not have wire racks that a binder clip can attach to

But if you have a wire rack in your fridge and you need to put beers on a shelf that isn't high enough for the bottles, by all means, you should use a binder clip to keep the bottles from rolling.
