We have a Spindrift problem in this house. And a cold brew problem. That said, our beverage shelf was pure chaos. Cans pushed to the back, forgotten cold brew bottles hiding behind newer purchases, and every time someone opened the fridge, it was beverage Jenga. Want the last pink lemonade Spindrift? Better move six cans first.
Two organizers completely fixed it.
The Rectangular Lazy Susan
This isn’t your standard circular lazy Susan that wastes corner space in a rectangular fridge. This one is rectangular (about 16.5″ x 11″) and uses the full shelf depth, with no dead space.
Here’s the genius part: it pulls out slightly on a track, rotates a full 360 degrees, then pushes back into place. You access items at the back without removing everything in front. The most notable part is that the entire rotation occurs outside the shelf footprint, so you’re not knocking into other items.
We use it for cold brew bottles, flavored creamers, milks—anything in a bottle. Suction cups keep it locked in place even when fully loaded. Pull forward, spin to what you need, push back. Done.

The Stackable Can Holders
Each clear plastic holder holds 12 standard cans and they stack on top of each other. Cans load from the top and roll forward when you grab one from the front—first-in, first-out rotation automatically.
We fit 24 cans (two holders stacked) in the same space where 12 used to barely fit laying flat. One glance tells you exactly what flavors you have and how many remain.
We dedicate one to Spindrift and another to cold brew cans and energy drinks. The modular system means we can swap what goes where based on what we’re drinking that week.

What Actually Changed
The lazy Susan sits on one side holding bottles. The can holders sit on the other side for cans. Everything is visible, accessible, and organized.
We stopped wasting drinks because nothing gets pushed back and forgotten anymore. We stopped buying duplicates because we can actually see what we have. And we can grab exactly what we want without excavating the entire shelf.
The fridge feels bigger even though we’re storing the same amount of beverages (probably more). Organized space always feels more spacious.
Setup and Cost
The lazy Susan is one piece. Simply add the suction cups to the bottom, place it, press the suction cups, and done. The can holders snapped together in under a minute. Total setup: less than five minutes.
The lazy Susan runs about $20-30. These can holders are typically $25-30 for a two-pack. Total investment: around $50-60. That’s gotta be less than what we were wasting in forgotten beverages every month.
Worth It?
The rectangular lazy Susan and stackable can holders turned our beverage shelf from a daily frustration into a system that actually works. We open the fridge dozens of times a day, and making that experience smoother adds up fast.
Plus, our fridge looks like we have our lives together now, which is a nice bonus even if it’s not entirely accurate.
