I take serious issue with this: "Placing a ripe, soft avocado in a refrigerator will extend its life by two days, give or take." I've actually found that it can extend the life of an avocado for a week or more, depending on the avocado and when it is placed in the fridge :)

Fun fact. Placing a halved avocado in a bag of water will save it from oxidation overnight, as will face down on a plate with oil (olive, veggie, etc) creating a seal. #AvocadoHacking

Nice tip! I only learned about refrigerating avocados recently and it's awesome to not have to consume a whole bag of avocados within a couple of days :) I'll definitely try the avocado in water trick.

I've found lime juice works pretty well for this too.
