The world is where people socialize without looking at others, people socialize without taking pictures of their own meals and not sending them to others, where people can't function without a small plastic rectangle is.
It's insanity. But if it doesn't prove that the world has become more relaxed, this is certainly true: people are now adorning the inside of their fridges.
Fridgescaping is something. It is the act of styling the contents of a refrigerator.
Beginners may think that is a very good idea. Contents are sectioned on the right, butter and marg, cheese on the left, yogurt on the left, shelf, milk, wine, and drawer salad.
But no, it's not. Unpleasantly, Fridgescaping is about styling your fridge as if it were your room in your home, with flashy nicknacks, framed photos, fairy lights, vintage tableware, mirrors , and even add a vase of flowers. I'm no joke.
People put it on social media platforms like Instagram and Tiktok, and on social media platforms to see the world. They often present the theme – one content creator is labeled Friggerton. Another had a forest theme, and vegetation was spilling everywhere. Both would have been criticized for how clean your home is.
Anyway, at least from me, would you ask me all the questions about whether some people have too much time in their hands?
It takes plenty of time to organize your wallet, not to mention the fridge. It's not just the overall insanity, it's practicality. Like most people, I often plunge into the fridge during TV ad breaks. If I had to weave around a vase of chrysanthemums, ceramic animals, and various trinkets to get to my vanilla slices, to miss half of the show.
I'm not in the fridge that I'm proud of. If anything, I'm a fridge slob. My fridge has a notification that my eldest daughter has stabbed her into the door. It says, “Mom, I'll do this,” and draws a plate of meat on the bottom shelf. I have a habit of placing food hygiene circles where there is space, such as the center or top, which means no nos. I sometimes slot a tray of uncooked chicken on the same shelf as lettuce, such. My husband is mad, but as I point out, we are not dead yet. It's all a bit rough, but it works for me.
When the world was a clever place, people stuck to sorting out sock drawers – a practice that makes perfect sense. I often run around to match my socks. Sockscaping saves you a lot of effort.
The same applies to knicker drawers. After all, they have a habit of intertwining and spilling onto their backs.
“Hey, you know what, I need to show you some flower displays, family photos, fairy lights in my fridge.” From what part of the brain does this idea come from?
For the purposes of this column, I tried Fridgescaping. I was very proud of my efforts, see above. I kept the decorations in place until my husband got home. “What's in the fridge?” he said he reached for the milk.
“Fridgescaping-Do you like it?” I asked.
“What? That's ridiculous, I can't reach anything. Can you take it out?”
Needless to say, he is worried about my happiness.
