What do people in the suburbs keep in their fridges?

I don't think it's cat food and beer. I started to worry about this yesterday after cleaning the apartement in anticipation of a visit from my friends, when I saw what was actually in my fridge. So I asked Theresa the question above -- she said condiments, after she stopped laughing at me. What's the right answer? I went out to get chips and salsa, crackers and cheese and some wine. But it still looks like a college dorm fridge...maybe I should buy some eggs and milk? What the hell do suburbanites put in their fridges that keeps them so full?

Just some food for thought as I wait for my friends to arrive!

My mother's fridge:
* 14 varieties of pickles and/or relish.
* 8 varieties of jams, jellies, and preserves
* 7 varieties of salad dressing (even though she doesn't eat salad)
* leftovers that shouldn't have been saved in the first place
* vegetables that should have been eaten last week
* little plastic tubs of potato salad and cheese spread and fruit pieces
* 2 and a half sticks of butter
* plastic tub of fake butter
* little ketchup packets from the fast food drive-thru
* little soy sauce and duck sauce packets from the chinese food place

Like I said, condiments.

There was never actual food, only the accessories to food.
