I feel like most comments here are missing the point. I think you understand the concept of “first in, first out” and are just wondering if the “first” here should be closer to the door hinge or further.
In short, I say that the oldest milk should be placed further from the hinge.
My logic comes from my experience in the restaurant industry and actually arranging coolers. Optimally, you want to make it so that without thinking, in a rush, the first item a user sees is the oldest one. This is usually the item that is closest to the door/opening/user/whatever. In the case of storing items in the door itself, I would say that the further an item is from the hinge, the closer it is to the user.
Yay … a solid argument!
Thank you.

Literally just throw it wherever. You know the milk you bought most recently, only open it after finishing the older one.
What do you mean you have 3 milks, wtf
I keep the new, unopened milk in the back of the main part of the fridge until it’s called to action for door duty
Milk goes at the back of the fridge
one milk at a time. Replace after the old one is used up
If today is shopping day and you have a days worth of milk left you’re not going to buy a new milk?
Then use the already open one? If I see multiple milk in my fridge, I find the one someone else opened already
Me too.
I usually forget, but if I remember I just chug the remaining milk.
My girlfriend puts the milk on the door… Ok, not preferred but not worth a fight. The issue is she puts it with handle facing out which barely fits and even flexs the little band of of plastic holding stuff to the door. If it is rotated 90 degrees it fits perfectly but according to her its “harder to pull out” since you need to lift and rotate instead of just lifting…
Is this appropriate grounds to break up?
/s yes it annoys me but not nearly enough to break up.
Consider the amount of strength required to make either movement. It might turn out that one way requires more strength than the other.
It’s takes more the way she does it because it scrapes across the plastic band adding friction…
Aligned oldest to newest in the back farthest from the door.
anything else invites ruin
Civilization depends on order and shared values.
Well look at this fat cat here that can afford multiple milks…
Nah, for real, put the newest milk in the back, use up the oldest milk first.
Yep. FIFO. First in first out.
I’m sorry, but WHAT?? What in the OCD hell is this? Who stacks milk in an order away or towards a hinge of a fridge door? Since when is either of these things an actual THING?
We buy milk every fortnight and the date ranges vary wildly, which results in expired milk if we’re not careful.
Are the expiry dates not too visible on the milk?
Sometimes they’re visible from the other side of the room, other times you need either a magnifying glass and a bright light whilst holding the bottle upside down.
Ah fair enough… Then ordering the milk makes more sense…
You have too much milk.
It’s yo’ fridge
Do what you wanna do.
I ain’t gonna tell you
How to stock it, too.
You gotta live your life,
Cereal if you want it too
Would the order be different in an imported fridge?
