A quiz showing the inside view of various different refrigerators and asking whether it belongs to a Trump voter or a Biden voter.

ADVERTISEMENTS
This is one of the most interesting and creative features I've ever seen in the NYT, and it was a delightful break from the onslaught of material about the candidatea and the polls. How they set up the question:
[W]e included images from people who said they planned to vote for president, planned to vote for either Mr. Trump or Mr. Biden, took the picture themselves, and gave permission to publish it. We omitted images from people who said that not all of the voters in the household supported the same candidate, as well as images that were very dark, blurry or appeared elsewhere on the internet. Here, we have shown a balance of images from Biden and Trump supporters.

I kept going for 64 guesses, felt like I was pretty good at it, but only got 55% right. Who do people with big jars of mayonnaise vote for? Who has liquor and not much else? Who has a lot of stuff wrapped up or in containers and jammed in all over the place? Who buys Chobani? Who has a lone Coke can? Who has 4 dozen eggs? 

Actually, I was quite interested just to gawk at a lot of real refrigerators. They tend to look pretty unappetizing, and these were the refrigerators people were willing to photograph and agree to share. It was also a great test of your own prejudice. If you go on long enough, you'll see your conception of Biden voters and Trump voters clarify... and maybe you'll be a bit ashamed of yourself for such thoughts.

You get feedback and see each time you are wrong, sometimes asking you to tap on an item that seemed to indicate the wrong choice you made. The lone Coke can tripped up a lot of us! You can see the most correctly guessed refrigerator. This is the #1 correctly guessed refrigerator:
