Oh, I’m loving this idea – not least the prospect of fridges superpoking each other.

It would be really ace if the barcode/RFID data contained use-by dates and could share it with opted-in neighbours.

Rather than throw out excess food, you could donate/sell it to (or swap with) someone local who needs it.

My fridge is on lockdown. No social interactions for him. Will the standard status message be “just chillin” though?

Lol @Darragh

Gives us more time to think about things.

@Grandad I hope they don’t get it on, there’d be ice cubes everywhere

That’s not n ice Grandad, not nice at all.

Damien, interesting post. Do we really want that to happen though? When it’s all being done for us, what’e left for us to do?

If it’s any help, my fridge saw your fridge being defrosted. She wanted to be defrosted too.

She thinks your fridge is cool!
