What does your fridge say?

Dan Cullum · Oct 29, 2020 ·

The New York Times recently ran a completely random—but fun—experiment.

Can you tell a ‘Trump’ fridge from a ‘Biden’ fridge?

“We teamed up with Lucid, an online survey platform, to ask a representative sample of U.S. residents whom they’re planning to vote for — and whether they’d open their refrigerators and take a picture of the contents. Hundreds did.”

And as a reader, you can participate by guessing which candidate people are planning on voting for based on the contents of their fridge.

And as it turns out, the contents of a persons fridge is a horrible indicator of how someone is likely to vote, with people only guessing right about 53% of the time—barely better than a random guess.

I love the internet for how it can make these random experiments possible. They’re a lot of fun to watch and participate in.
