Although adverts on the fridge are absolutely terrible, is this genuine? Here's a reddit post some time before that suggesting the scenario: https://old.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/1ow6cpu/appa...

Just because someone suggested a possible scenario could happen and it then did happen isn't all that suspicious to me.

On Reddit? It should... These were historically almost always made up after people looked into it.

To be clear, the picture is likely real. The backstory to it probably not.

The people that actually feel like they've had the episode would almost certainly not go on social media with it. The venn diagram of people sharing such content, having the money to buy such a gigantic smart fridge and suffering from schizophrenia is miniscule

Did you read the post? It's somebody talking about what happened to their sister.

Yeah so this hypothetical sister doesn’t work, lives by themself, is severely disabled by schizophrenia but at the same time can afford a £2000 fridge. That’s a crazy amount of money to splash for someone who doesn’t work. Especially as amazing fridges are sold for £600-800. Oh, on top of all that, the persons name is Carol. It wouldn’t have worked with any other name.

I don’t think the story is real. But people who want it to be true are easily convinced.
