They need NO refrigeration, they are meant to be eaten at room temperature, and if you count the ingredients, there are only 5 of them.Enjoy!!!

Some people are being over-cautious hereIn schools a socket circuit in a computer suite can have dozens of sockets on because each computer only uses 100 wattsIn uk a single 13 amp plug can carry just over 3000 watts, or 13 ampsThat means that you can connect an extension lead, and another extension lead to that oneAs long as the total watts of all the appliances is 3000 or less AND each lead is rated at 13 amps, it is OKBut is it bad practice to have lots of trailing leads, and it is also bad to power a heavy duty appliance like a 3,000 watt fan heater through an extension lead, because this is the limit of the 13amp plug and the extension lead connections will get hot, extension leads are not as good as a house socketMost stuff like computers and peripherals, radios, PS3 etc are very low power, the main thing is to keep the leads tidy if using extension leads, and be sure to fuse the plugs properly, 3A up to 500watts, 5A for 500- to 1200 watts, 13A anything over 1200 watts and you will stay safeBeware of cheap extension leads, they may only be rated to carry 5 or 10 amps, which IMO shouldn't be allowed, someone might power a 13 amp appliance using a 5 amp leadAvoid this risk by buying ONLY 13 amp rated leads.
