I've never heard of that. My tomatoes always go straight in the fridge.

But when we leave vegetables out, we tend to get fruit flies.....

yeah, because they rot. When picked, fruit continues to ripen, but vegetables rot, which is why they shouldn't be left out. Aren't tomatoes technically a fruit though? I'm confusing myself...

They get them really bad at my parents house for some reason. I think it honestly all started when my brother brought organic fruit in the house for some reason.
