| Feb 23, 2016 at 0:22 | comment | added | bdsl | Storing cans in the fridge should reduce energy usage, if the alternative is to leave that part of the fridge empty. Once the cans have cooled down to fridge temperature they will stay cool when the door is opened. Cold air would have to be replaced. | |

Other than that, and the remote possibilty the fridge is set too low and will freeze the cans, distortiong their shape, there should be no danger. | |
