What’s in your fridge? Local meme page @dudefridges wants to know.

The local Instagram page curates the funny, shocking, and sometimes pretty gross things people keep in their refrigerators. Anyone around the globe can submit a picture of their own fridge or original meme.

With 31,400 followers and counting, Dillon Shipper — a UT Austin alumnus and the face behind the account — is ready to take his creative outlet to the next level.

Enter Fridge Festival.
