Also, the thing that makes a big difference is that most chest freezers
don't have an auto-defrost thing. Yo do need to defrost them yourselves
after a while, but since you don't open them as often as your refrigerator
you don't get as much moisture in and thus, not as much frost forms in.

That auto-defrost thing really gets that "freezer taste" into things you
keep too long in a refrigerator freezer.

What I take out of the chest freezer here after a couple of months doesn't
even smell like a freezer.
