Maybe it's what we are used to. If we get tomatoes from a salad bar or in a
restaurant, they likely will have been refrigerated.

The only time that I did notice a difference in taste was then I had a
countertop chiller thingie. I can't remember the name of it. It was oval
shaped with a clear lid. Said it could be used for marinating meats or
keeping fruits and vegetables fresh. It did chill but not as cold as the
refrigerator does and it had some sort of air circulation and humidity
control. Worked like a dream for about two months then died. Have not been
able to find anything like it since. I did see some online reviews of the
product and I was one of the lucky ones. Most people had theirs die after
only a week or two of use.

I loved it because even though it did take up some counter space, it freed
up some fridge space and we were more likely to eat the easily visible
contents of it.

I found a similar looking unit that claimed to keep produce fresh for longer
but didn't have the claim of marinating. It flat out did not work and if
anything, rotted stuff faster. It did not have the chilling effect but it
did do air circulation.
