Entire Refrigerator Rearranged To Accommodate Leftover KFC Bucket
The Onion reports that local man Jeremy Browning attempted to fit a nearly empty KFC bucket into his fridge by lowering the top shelf, transferring food items to the freezer, drinking half of a two-liter bottle of Pepsi, and filling the dairy compartment with smaller food items, like half a lime and a Ziploc bag of ground beef.
Asked if there was ever a point during the reorganization of his refrigerator when he considered discarding the bucket and wrapping the remaining pieces of chicken in aluminum foil, Browning told reporters, "No."

I assume you know that The Onion is a satirical website and not a real source of news. That is not made clear in your post.

Yes. We know The Onion is a satirical newspaper. That's why we have the "funny" tag on here. We tend not to make note of The Onion's satirical nature, instead letting readers figure it out for themselves. It's more fun that way and sorta keeps the joke alive.

In other news, water is deemed "wet," and the sun has been reported to have risen in the East this morning. The Pope is indeed Catholic, and we have the exclusive story that a bear defecated in the woods.

LOL
A satirical story, yes, but I've seen someone rearrange their refrigerator to accommodate the large pizza box...with one slice left inside. :O It seemed he was too lazy to properly dispose of the pizza box while industrious enough to reorder the entire contents of his fridge. I never figured that one out and didn't want to. I think he's probably delivering pizzas now, but I haven't heard. (No offense to career pizza drivers, by the way.)

@holdthemayo: That describes me perfectly. Although I've just taken to keeping my entire bottom shelf free of crap so I can slide a pizza box in.

@Adam...Now that's a good idea, especially given the esteemed place that pizza has in your life. You should have an extra shelf installed in your fridge, just a few inches below the top shelf, to hold nothing more than a pizza box. :)

If you think rearranging your fridge to fit the KFC bucket with only a few pieces left inside is a joke, you haven't met my husband (though he would probably use his super skills to artfully figure out a way to keep everything in the fridge and not put things in the freezer).

If that were a real fridge, and I'm sure there are some that look like that, those KFC boxes would probably be hiding old, moldy stuff that could be thrown away!

Did simon not get the part where this is sourced from the Onion? That's the only conclusion I can draw from such cliched attempt at a retort.
I know some people who have a spare fridge in their garage that they use for overflow. Unfortunately, it mostly gets filled up too nowadays since they buy stuff knowing they have the extra space.

The onion makes me laugh so much I tear up.

wunami, my retort was direct at lawandmusic. I should have made that more clear.

I love it when people miss obvious jokes and killjoy the whole post.

if you read the actual article in The Onion (I just read it in the newspaper tonight, you'll see that it is indeed an entire plug from KFC. just read the language: "…tried to eat all 15 pieces…" and advertising copy like "you don't eat chicken off a plate…chicken tastes better out of the bucket," the copy is also speaking to the deepest urges of a KFC indulgence, in reference to eating the little fried bits. well done, yum foods; I hope some sales guy at The Onion made a nice commission off that

and to add; while The Onion actually has some pretty good retouching, those KFC containers in the fridge is some serious photoshop or a serious photoshoot.
