The fridge has different visual states. When it's very full, there's some stuff on the counter. When it's partly full, there are bottles on top of the refrigerator. When it's fairly empty, then it's just plain fridge, no bottles or counter items.
I've found that if I fill the fridge to the bottle level, my people are fine overnight. Of course, this is a family of four; if you have six children, things might be different.
