"This raises the question: is it red or white wine with after-sun and superglue?"
That is an excellent question
I hope the fridge is suitably replenished now.
The fridge looks funny to me without vegetable drawers at the bottom! Otherwise it is similar to mine except yours is a couple of shelves taller

What are you saying? That the photo is staged and I secretly just moved the vegetable drawer out of shot without removing the vegetables except a stray onion which I placed in shot?
Annoyingly no matter how often I told the children, 'don't close the fridge door by pulling on the bottom shelf, you'll pull it off the door', guess what? They pulled the bottom shelf's little | hook off the door…

I don't think that's what I'm saying - I can't see any runners for drawers like my fridge has... Is that what you're saying you did?
Ah, yes I noticed the bottom door shelf was missing. I can imagine it is/was a very handy thing for your children - now you mention it, I do that myself but luckily my fridge door mostly swings closed by itself so I don't put too much force on the shelf...
I like how the Salad Cream gets pride of place in the foreground

Some great captions on Social Media:
"Irn bru... that's all you need. "
"If you have some dry pasta you have all you need for a very simple meal there."
"Well given the tube of tomato puree and the cheese slice, I'd say you're well on your way to a pizza. Now where's that old crust of
bread?"
"That un-decanted tin of beans has triggerd me bigly time."
"Yes, I noticed that as well - *shudder*"

The fridge only has a drawer for the bottom shelf – no runners, it just slides along the bottom. Which obviously only contained an onion inside the drawer, however as the onion wasn't visible inside the drawer resulted in the drawer being placed out of shot purely for the aesthetic purpose of allowing the onion to be seen. That's my story what I'm sticking to, so there
Good to see that a tin of beans is a . (Clearly that wasn't deliberately placed there like that for that very purpose…)

Ah, that's good that you do have a vegetable drawer and the onion does not usually sit there unsupported - I have two drawers, so that is slightly different, but mostly the same
The aesthetic value of allowing the lonely onion to be seen is high

I can't help but wonder whether social media would give a different reaction to this photo now? Oh, and post_its_a_sign_5_BB.jpg
