Lore of the Fridge Gnome

In the deepest, darkest corners of your refrigerator lives the fridge gnome. He sustains himself on long-forgotten condiments — like that old bottle of Sriracha or that jar of alien-green relish — that languish in your fridge door. This mischievous creature is often blamed for missing foods (that you usually blame your roommate for eating) or for turning your food bad overnight (how did that pasta spoil so quickly?).
