Refrigerator tetris

We have a lot of food going on around here for tomorrow's barbecue. Just now I was trying to fit 2 pitchers of beverage (lemonade and kool-aid, about which I made some comment like "me and my ades", and Tim does not want my aids even though I went to the trouble of making them, and we are rather non-PC) into the fridge, which Tim referred to as "refrigerator tetris". I thought that was quite a brilliant name for it, until I realized that if I were to complete a line, all my food would disappear! That just wouldn't do. I thought it was more like the knapsack-packing problem from CS, which is of course a completely different knapsack than Peggy McIntosh's invisible knapsack of white privilege. TC and CMU have two entirely different views on knapsacks.

I swear, some thoughts could only possibly come from my brain.
