Samsung has unveiled a new dating app, for their $4,000 smart fridge, that lets people find their soul mates based on expiration dates.
Even if you don’t have the smart fridge you can still participate. Just download the Refridgerdating app, take a picture of your latest groceries, and start swiping away, left on people who have open cartons of left-over Chinese food populating their top shelf, right on people who look like they actually know what a food pyramid is.
As CNET puts it, “The idea is that what’s in there, whether it’s moldy leftovers or an enticing collection of craft beer, could provide a more authentic look at who you are and how you live. And ideally, keep you far away from those monsters who refrigerate their honey.”
Personally, I love this idea. I’m all for creative ideas, outside the box thinking, and modern ingenuity no matter what form it takes. Even if that form is yet another dating app. Even if that dating app is one that lets users swipe right on a slice of bologna.
That’s because I think this concept could lead to a host of other themed dating apps designed to get people to show their true selves, not the Instagram Influencer versions of themselves that they currently project out into the sordid world of online dating. This means that we may soon be swiping right on pictures of each other’s cars, wardrobes, DVR queues, and home décor. Anything that can be used to measure who someone really is and what they’re all about. For now though, we’ll just have to settle for swiping on bottles of wine, cartoons of milk, and jars of pickles.
Is refridgerdating the Greatest Idea Ever?
