The concept for this creative assignment was primarily influenced by a series of engaging TikTok videos. These videos featured various "girlies" — a colloquial term endearingly used to describe young women — sharing their personal dinner choices in scenarios ranging from having an empty pantry, unwinding after a taxing day at school or work, to those evenings spent idly lounging on the couch without any dinner preparations. Drawing from this relatable content, the assignment evolves into an interactive web adventure where users step into the shoes of Barbie. The experience begins as Barbie, after some leisure time on the couch, ventures through her house to the kitchen. She approaches the refrigerator to figure out her dinner options, only to discover that, apart from a few items, most of the food has succumbed to mold and is inedible. This scenario not only adds a twist of humor but also aims to foster a connection with the user by reflecting on a common household dilemma — the state of the fridge when one has neglected grocery shopping or meal prep. Through this engaging and somewhat humorous exploration, the web adventure seeks to bring a smile to participants, offering them a light-hearted perspective on everyday challenges. It also aims to comfort users by making them feel somewhat better about the contents of their own refrigerators, which might seem a bit more appealing in comparison. Ultimately, this web adventure blends entertainment with a dash of real-life, encouraging participants to find joy and amusement in the simple, often overlooked aspects of daily living.
