PHOTOS: What Do You Keep Inside Your Refrigerator?

Looking in someone's refrigerator is like taking a glance in their medicine cabinet: it's awfully revealing. And you can learn some pretty important information. Not only can you tell what kind of foods they're into (which then indicates how much they care about nutrition and their health), you can also tell if they cook or not (if you only see condiments in the fridge, there are probably a lot of take-out menus nearby).

And even more importantly, you can tell how clean that person truly is. All the hiding of dirty clothes under the bed and unread mail in the junk drawer will be revealed by the state of one's fridge. (And if you happen to find dirty dishes in that fridge, you might not want to use their restroom.)

But regardless of what's found on the other side of that refrigerator door, it's always sort of fun to look inside. While poking around on Flickr, we came across a ton of interior fridge photographs -- and we could not stop looking. We went through more than 50 pages worth of refrigerator pictures, and we've gathered the most interesting ones for you. Click through the slideshow to see what we found.

And once you've seen what's out there, we want you to show us what's in your fridge. We know it's a little personal, and you just might not want to go there with us. But, we double-dog dare you to snap a picture and submit it in the slideshow below.

And if you want to keep a well-organized fridge but just can't figure out how, watch the video below.

What we like about this fridge is that even though the amount of beer is quite literally bursting the door open, there's still room for a head of lettuce. It's nice to see someone thinking about nutrition.

I expected to see bizarre refrigerators. Instead, you feature common refrigerators with, somewhat unusual combinations of contents. :(

I can't believe someone had Mad Dog 20/20! I love that stuff, but haven't seen it in ages. It would have been helpful if there had been a short explanation as to who the fridge's owner was with each pic - a single guy doesn't need much more than beer, mustard and ketchup as depicted in The Minimalist - while a family would probably be well stocked. I live alone, so I have the usual beer and wine, condiments, OJ, eggs, butter, leftovers from whatever I cooked a few days ago and an entire shelf dedicated to medication for my chronically ill cats and dogs. Not exactly the perfect array.

Despite what you hear 0- the worst thing is the Soy Milk - ANY soy product is NOT good for you - especially children.
-- MANY other countries have done extension research and now it is ILLEGAL to give any child 12 yrs old and younger any soy!
-- But the U.S. - NO and lying ads are allowed....
Ex: Years ago Monks found that by cooking soybeans a LOT and putting in meals, it helped them remain celibate! Having a hard time having a baby?? Having problems men...? Have you notice that in the 70s & 80s more & more girls & boys were developing puberty much younger & girls becoming More developed while many boys were developing more 'female' traits than male.. What about the massive increase in Thyroid problems for young people??
-- soybeans affect people in different ways - most will not even realize the reason certains things have happened was because of the soymilk & formula they drank as an infant. I could go on & on - BUT you really need to watch it, Do your own research.

LOL-wheni saw the soy i was thinking the same thing...but saying its is worse than alcohol is hard to say...alcohol is just as bad i'd say....

there are other cows milk alternatives out there (almond or rice milk for example)....so there is no reason for drinking soy milk....its just pushed hard on us since it its a by product of other industry....

Vodka hidden behind the OJ?

I was actually really amused by this article! My fridge usually contains fruit, deli meat, and milk, among other various items such as soda, Yoo-Hoo, or Jell-O. I also have a few different condiments and salad dressings.
