You open the door, expecting to see something amazing—leftover pizza, a slice of cake, maybe even some ice cream. Instead, you just stare at a jar of pickles, an old bag of shredded cheese, and half a bottle of ketchup. You close the door, sigh, then open it again five seconds later, hoping something new has magically appeared.
