Has it come to this? Not only are we blogging and photographing every last thought and experience for all and sundry to see, but now we feel the need to open up to the world that most accurate revealer of personality—the inside of our refrigerator. Of course, peeking inside this international smorgasbord of ice boxes brings up a host of questions about global attitudes. Pew Research Center, take note.

For instance, why no old take-out cartons filled with mouldering American food in this Chinese refrigerator? And who'dathunk you could get 7-UP in Saudi Arabia? And, rather than a few bottles of hooch, we expected the raw ingredients of some culinary delight to occupy the center shelf of honor in this French fridge. This food repository from the Ukraine, the former Soviet Union's breadbasket, features nary a loaf. This one from Italy contains Häagen-Dazs, not Gelato. And all we can say about this one is: Girl, get a grip! Ever hear of diabetes? Next time we check, we want to see a head of lettuce in there.

~ Hello,

~ Paid journalists, never cease to amaze me, with the "invented" caption quips; that they often deliver from their 'edjumedicated diploma proofed' minds. This was not even decent quality "fluff 'n stuff"; yet, it takes however many years in "COLLEGE", to receive your "qualifying shingle", with which to serve up mindless "SLOP".

~ A more "OBVIOUS" curiosity unto me is: "Were EVERY one of those 'fridges' BRAND SPANKING NEW ? Or do they all just happen to be afflicted with what I would call MS syndrome ? The ONLY refrigerators that I have ever seen, THAT CLEAN, in ANYONES' home, were brand new! As in "NEVER BEEN IN USE" before that day.

~ Get a REAL JOB, like my old friend BOB!

~ Disgustedly, your former reader, Mike

I never realized Yogurt was such a popular food. Everybody has it in their fridge.
