If you refrigerate tomatoes, they go bland --- the cold temperatures kills some of the flavour.

Did they actually test for taste in that research? This guy has and he disagrees:

In supermarkets tomatoes are usually sold not ripened fully (for a longer shelve life). Keeping them in a warm, bright place will ripe them more and taste improves slightly.
