I store mine in the fridge too. It does keep them better than leaving them out and having them change temps. They probably are stuck together. Just be very careful trying to unstick them so as you don't tear the latex. I usually try to keep my favorite ones from year to year. You know how you find that one that justs runs good and the turks seem to like the sound. What you need to do is next time after you are done using it slide flat toothpicks between the reeds and let it dry out before you put it in the fridge.
