Got this off a health news bit so I'll pass it one. In most cases the flavor of the item is the reason but there are other issues as well.
melons - potatoes - tomatoes - onions (get soggy) - coffee - garlic - liquor - honey - hot sauce - bread(dries out) - basil.
Storing onions and potatoes should be done in a dark closet. The fruits should be eaten ASAP after purchase.
The key word is "stored"... Melons are to be eaten not stored,
Everyone says to put ripe melons in the fridge - especially the ones that are cut. However, unripe melons wouldn't ripen if you put them in the fridge.
Chilling/storing
•Whole/uncut melons can be refrigerated for up to 15 days, depending on the ripeness, variety, and growing conditions.
•Cut melons should be refrigerated immediately and stored in the refrigerator for up to four days. Throw out any cut melons that have been left at room temperature for more than two hours.
