Zoe JoyallIf students in residence at the University of Alberta are lucky enough to have access to a fridge, it’s most often shared between more than a few people. Figuring that everyone in residence had some fridge horror stories to tell, we decided to go ask residents what is in their fridge, as well as how many people they shared it with.

The Gateway: What’s it like sharing a fridge with three people?
Maria Popova: The freezer will fill up pretty fast, and I’ll have nowhere to put my popsicles. It’s a group effort to rearrange and stuff everything in there. Oh, and there’s four people’s worth of liquor on top of the fridge.

The Gateway: What’s the grossest thing you’ve seen in the fridge?
Kaylin Kim: A pig foot once with no packaging, raw beef that had become beef jerky, and baby carrots that had become black slush.
The Gateway: Do you clean out the fridge?
Kaylin Kim: I throw things out and check expiry dates. It’s sort of like working at a grocery store.
