When I decide it's time for a tomato (pretty much every day once they start becoming ripe in the garden) I will, at minimum, eat one whole tomato. There are many, many meals that consist of little more than tomatoes sometimes. (Once they start to ripen you gotta eat 'em.) I cannot recall one single instance of having to put a partial tomato in the fridge for later use. Apparently, I am in the minority on this because someone decided it was a good idea to invent this:
It's cute, I guess. It certainly will give you a pretty solid visual clue as to where in the fridge your leftover tomato might be found. But come on, really? Are there people out there who have so many partial tomatoes in their lives that something like this is necessary? What if I have half of an onion? (That actually happens a lot.) Can I put it in the tomato keeper?
No, apparently not:
Note that you should have the red onion keeper for your red onions and the yellow onion keeper for your, um, white onions. Or something.
Of course, if you're going all the way, you must have:
No mention of how big these are in the online store but seems doubtful that they'd hold those GINORMOUS lemons I've seen lately. Oddly enough, I do sometimes have lemon or lime halves to contend with (not always squeezing for margaritas you see) but I've somehow always managed quite well with a small piece of this:

Hmmm, I honestly don't see why the leftover tomato bits and onion bits can't go into the escargot platter - then it can even go in the freezer! Why might one require such a small amount of tomato or onion? For the single serving taco, of course! Now, why you'd have that on hold in the freezer I'm not quite sure (perhaps you only have a solitary taco once a month and don't require tomatoes or onions in the meantime?).
