I don't know if domestic companies have so-called "workplace refrigerators", which are to let employees set aside the snacks or drinks they buy and prepare with the company so that they can eat and drink during breaks or overtime.
This kind of food in the workplace refrigerator usually (should be) written with a personal name, indicating that the bottle of drink is someone else. Some people do not write their names, but instead use fixed symbols or fixed drawings to represent their names.
Having time to look at these "World of Corporate Workplace Refrigerators" posted on Twitter in Japan, you can infer the company's workplace atmosphere, which is very interesting.
１．
This should have been bought by a female employee, right? Super cute.
２．
This is probably a male staff member, all of which are functional drinks. The poster said: "I opened the company's refrigerator today, and suddenly I felt that wings had grown on my back, and the level of (combativeness) had increased by one level. ”
The blue can is the functional drink "red bull energy drink", the Chinese is "Red Bull energy drink", and the advertising text in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, etc. is "Red Bull, Grant You Wings" (レッドブル、 翼を授ける/red bull gives you wings). Taiwan is said to "give you a pair of wings".
Since I haven't drunk it, I don't know if drinking it can really grow wings and increase combat. The "Red Bull" sold in Japan has products from various countries, and the next time I buy it to drink and see if I can improve the progress of writing.
３．
This is also "Red Bull", the poster said: "Open the company's refrigerator and find the social animals inside." ”
Shezu (しゃちく) is a self-deprecating act of Japanese corporate employees. It means "company" (company) + "livestock" = livestock raised by the company.
It is said that the word was coined by the Japanese economic novelist and entrepreneur Antoshi (あづち さとし), a new word, which is now official Japanese and even included in Chinese dictionaries. A similar word in English is "wage slave".
４．
It's all frozen dumplings! Why? Dinner over overtime? Or is it a supper?
５．
This is even more inexplicable, how are they all mushrooms? Used to boil soup? Or is someone giving it to the company, and the company intends to distribute it to the employees?
６．
This must be a female clerk! It's all chocolate.
７．
Why are oranges lying lonely in the freezer compartment of a company's workplace refrigerator? However, frozen oranges are delicious, especially in the summer.
８．
While cleaning the freezer, the company's female employees made a super cute little snowman. The workplace atmosphere of this company should be very warm.
９．
"Penglai 551" is Osaka's famous meat bun. There are so many meat buns in the company's refrigerator, are you planning to eat them when the staff is working overtime?
１０．
The lower layer is coffee, and the bottle contains no idea whether it is coffee or wheat tea. But why natto? Natto should be eaten with rice for breakfast!
１１．
This one is also all chocolate. The poster said: "These chocolates have nothing to do with Valentine's Day. ”
１２．
It's Red Bull again! It seems that Japan's modern corporate warriors like "Red Bull". I really want to buy it and drink it.
１３．
This is "monster brand energy drink", "monster energy" in English, and the Hong Kong translation is "Monster Energy". The caffeine content is 7 times that of Coca-Cola per can.
Well... The design of the jar, I don't like, probably won't buy it to drink.
１４．
What is this for? It's all beer! Hey, can I drink beer during overtime? Or is there any celebration today?
１５．
The upper layer is flower tea, and the lower layer is a functional drink of "yellow ginger" (ウコン, tulip) produced in Okinawa Prefecture. I have drunk this, and there must be convenience stores in Japan, and the taste is bitter! I drank it three times and didn't want to drink it again.
１６．
As I said before, why natto?
１７．
"Sand grain chicken". The poster also asked, "Whose is this?" ”
Since the poster asked so, he said that it was not a banquet that the company was going to hold, but an individual who bought it and planned to take it home. (On the orders of his wife?) ）
１８．
This is a "Japanese Magamachi" frozen fillet. There are so many fish fillets in the freezer compartment of the company's refrigerator, who are you going to give them to?
１９．
This one is the funniest. It is said that the company gradually became a "pig farm", and the General Affairs Department specially set up a "supper tofu" in order to show "consideration" for employees, a 10 yuan.
Since the company wants to make the "social animals" work harder, it is simply provided for free!
Then again, can tofu fill your stomach? Well, it should be ok, because I often after dinner, when I rush to the manuscript at night, sometimes my stomach will grunt with hunger, and then I don't want to eat greasy things, so I can only eat tofu or other sweets.
２０．
Yikes! What a heart! There are drinks that colleagues buy for other colleagues. However, the post description is "slimming tea"!
Hey, hey! When you do this, isn't that tantamount to saying that the other party is too fat and wants others to lose weight? And he named it!
I don't know if your office has such a refrigerator ~ Welcome to share your story!
