A condition commonly seen in fridges of single people, and people living as roommates, in which the fridge contains 237 half-empty condiment jars,
leftover pizza and takeout, and not much else.

multiple times. In these cases, it is not recommended to attempt to
clean the fridge without proper biohazard gear.
