This online phenomenon is driven by a viral #HashtagGames challenge where participants are creatively linking song titles, movie references, and witty puns to the concept of purging expired food. Users are amused by the humorous interpretations of forgotten fridge contents, with many relating to the universal experience of discovering questionable items lurking in their own kitchen appliances. The appeal lies in the relatable mess of a neglected fridge and the lighthearted, communal effort to find humor in the mundane task of cleaning it out.
