in the refrigerator
Where milk lives
In the refrigerator means inside the appliance used for keeping food cold: Is there any milk in the refrigerator?
The phrase sometimes appears in instructions or recipes to specify storage location.
Figuratively, something in the refrigerator may be on hold or preserved for later use, though this extension is uncommon.
