Maplestrip: Shortening. Putting it back in the fridge indicates that he puts it in the fridge after using it. Might still be relevant data for the thrilling mystery, however.

-|Apparently, Randall absent-mindedly puts his ice cream container into the refrigerator rather than into the freezer. These two appliances are very similar and perhaps easily confused. Refrigerators tend to see more use than freezers, overall. Alternatively, Randall could be doing this deliberately to soften the ice cream for when he next eats some, perhaps because this makes it easier to serve, or simply because he prefers softer ice cream.

Ice cream is sometimes temporarily put in the fridge on purpose, in order to soften it up, but is hopefully returned to the freezer afterwards.
