RAY: Ah, there's good news today, friends.

BOB: Good news for you, folks, bad news for us.

RAY: We've done it again, and our loss is your gain.

BOB: You see, in anticipation of the Easter season, we laid in a large supply of chocolate rabbits.

RAY: These were the best chocolate rabbits money could buy. Each one was genuine chocolate, all chocolate.

BOB: Each one had a purple ribbon tied around his or her neck.

RAY: Each one was edible, real edible.

BOB: But, through the carelessness of one of our alert uniformed attendants, these chocolate rabbits were stored next to the steampipes in our overstocked surplus warehouse.

RAY: So, we are now able to offer, at a ridiculously low price, exactly twenty gross of genuine, laughably edible, all chocolate wobblies.

BOB: These wobblies are not only appropriate for any season, but the kiddies will have great fun trying to guess what the wobblies are supposed to represent.

RAY: Some of you imaginative youngsters will recognize dinosaurs, wombats and anteaters.

BOB: Others will see pterodactyls, vultures and your mother-in-law.

RAY: But, friends, this is backed up by the Bob and Ray unconditional guarantee...not one of the kiddies will know these were once rabbits.

BOB: Any wobblie mistaken for a wabbit can be returned to the Bob and Ray overstocked surplus warehouse, where the full purchase price will be laughingly returned.

RAY: Never again do we expect to be able to make this amazing offer.

BOB: The warehouse engineers have already removed the steampipes, and with them, our alert uniformed attendant.

RAY: So be the first in your neighborhood to surprise your kiddies after Easter! And remember, each of these edible, all chocolate wobblies has, somewhere in it...a real purple ribbon!

BOB: And that makes an extra surprise that really will give the little nippers a bang...Also pull out any loose teeth that they may have been trying to dislodge.

RAY: So write immediately to "Windfall", New York, New York.

BOB: And say, "we'll bite."
 
How cold is too cold?? I keep all my film in the cupboard at around 10oC at the moment but I have access to a -20oC freezer at work. Is storing film this cold a good idea or not? I could always snap freeze it in some liquid nitrogen before popping it in there :rolleyes:
 
I keep all my film in the fridge.. but that's mostly cuz thats the only place I have room. Unfortunately a symptom of GAS is a closet full of camera gear and an empty fridge ;)

I've always wondered though... I usually only keep about a hundred rolls or so on hand and I highly doubt any of it will reach a year old.. is it really worth refridgerating or freezing it? My closet stays fairly cool, at or below 20C, I'm not sure if putting it in the fridge is necessary or just habit.
 
I keep most of my 35mm and 120 film in the freezer. I keep some in the refrigerator.

I keep all of my 4x5 and 8x10 sheet film and all of my Polaroid film in the refrigerator because there is not enough room in the freezer.
 
I also keep most of my 35mm 120 film and 4x5 in the freezer. This includes bulk rolls that haven't been opened. Once it's 'defrosted' it won't get back.

Stuff I know I'll use soon, including Polaroid is in the fridge.

Loaded bulk loaders and opened sheet film are kept in the darkroom which stays about 66-68° F all year long.

Once it's in a bag, it stays there.

Cheers
 
I voted refridgerator. Even though I keep some in the freezer, I don't really keep film for that long that I have a need to freeze it.
 
On a bookshelf, hopefully out of my son's reach. I tend to use film quickly so the only real danger to it is the sprog's insatiable curiosity.
 
I voted freezer, but keep transparency & IR in the freezer, most everything else in the (dedicated) full size fridge, and a few rolls here & there ready to go. Good old FAS... several thousand feet in the fridge. Too bad Polaroid is a little bulky, a 10 pack takes more space that 2 90m rolls. Paper gobbles up space too. Not enough space for in the fridge for my (freebie) xray film. I need a bigger fridge!

Mainly in the refrigerator, but also in jacket pockets... sometimes I forget a roll in the trousers pockets and then appears in the washing machine...
 
I keep all my stock in the freezer and the upcoming next rolls in the refrigerator. But, obviously, a few rolls are also on the way in the different bags I own. Sometime for weeks.
