From Madison in Nov - Refrigerator roulette

I had a few posts filled with the silly stuff - and then 3 more Nov exchange envelopes arrived. Madison had an interesting idea - maybe she saw something like this or maybe she just dreamed it up. It made me think of parts of the illustrations in the original Alice in Wonderland - also the Alice inspired envelope from Leslie a couple days ago. When I was deciding what silly add-on to go with it - Refrigerator Roulette seemed like a fun pairing.

A quick search on the blog indicates that I have never talked about Refrigerator Roulette. It's something Ive done for years. It is a game of solitaire where upon opening the fridge to find something to eat, I start opening many items - and take a bite and decide whether or not it is edible. Jackpot is when the player wins instantly - if the first item is edible and there is enough that the player does not have to look further.

If the first bite is inedible, the player proceeds to other items. It is possible to get a faux-jackpot on the second or third item. And then the game ends. However. If the player hits E,EFY (Expired, Even For You)  three times in a row, then the player must drop everything and do a full sweep of the fridge. 

The player is assured of a win-win situation. Win number 1, the fridge is cleaned. Win number 2, the player will no longer be hungry - because either - 2A - they found plenty of bites that added up to a meal or 2B - their stomach is churning and they have lost their appetite. Sometimes the loss of appetite lingers for the rest of the day and the player gets a 3rd win - they have more time to putter at their desk.
