IKEA just fixed the biggest problem with my fridge for under $10

Yes, I'm a Gen Z, and yes, I have a kombucha subscription. But every month, when my delivery arrives, I'm faced with the most ridiculous problem: my fridge is not designed to neatly store my kombucha. Instead, I store them at the back of a shelf, and have to rummage around to retrieve a can every time I want my 3pm kombucha hit.

Even if you don't relate to my very niche woes, you probably know how annoying it can be to buy a pack of drinks and then have to rearrange your entire fridge in order to fit it in. On top of that, it makes retrieving your drinks annoying, as you root around your shelves and drawers to find your next beverage.

Why it's a must-have

The Klippkaktus Drink Dispenser can be adjusted to suit the specific width of your drink, meaning you could use it for cans or soda or bottle of beer. It's got a smart function which automatically pushes your remaining drinks forward when you take out a drink, meaning you'll never have to rummage around your fridge again when looking for your next Diet Coke.

Refilling is also super easy, with a front opening which allows you to simply insert your drinks from the front as opposed to taking out the whole holder when it's empty. It's possible to pair these dispensers together thanks to plastic hooks on either side, meaning you could essentially turn your fridge into a fancy home vending machine. I'll use it to store my different kombucha flavors side-by-side. Currently, my fridge shelf is more of a lucky dip situation.

IKEA also released a new $6 fridge storage essential that will help herbs last so much longer as part of its Klippkaktus collection. What other fridge storage items would you buy for your kitchen?
