Something’s Rotten in the State of Refrigerator

/ K. Callard

Yesterday was National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day (no, really, look it up!), so I guess it’s time to see what’s getting old…

Ugh! Watermelon? I haven’t bought that since the summer. OUT!

Watermelon pieces sitting on a cutting board. Two white seeds form eyes over discolorations forming nostrils and a wavy mouth. Angry eyebrows have been doodled in. Speech bubble says, "Water you doing? You can't get rid of me just because I'm a little past my prime. That's ageist."

Um, I don’t think that applies to expired food. Sorry, dude.

What else is in here?

Ah, a half-eaten pizza slice. I couldn’t even tell you the last time we ordered pizza.

Slice of pepperoni pizza with bites out of the bottom. Two round pepperoni pieces form eyes over a semi-circular pepperoni slice mouth. Speech bubble says, "I bring you piece (spelled p-i-e-c-e)" and has a peace symbol, making a reference to the Simpsons' X-Files/aliens episode.

Hmm…it doesn’t look bad. Maybe the kids brought that home from somewhere. I guess we’ll keep it until I can confirm.

Moving on…

What’s that at the back of the veg drawer?

Oh right, the rest of the pepper from dinner the other night. It should still be fine, but I guess, in the spirit of the day, I should check it just to be sure.

Half of a yellow pepper sliced so the pith and seeds form an angry mouth. Sunglasses and angry eyebrows have been doodled in. Speech bubble says, "You try and get rid of me and I'll bust a capsaicin in your-"

Okay, yeah, no, it’s definitely gone bad.
