The promise was to integrate your contents of the fridge with some kind of smarts that let you know when your milk was going to expire and to suggest you buy more. The reality is that is dumb because it takes more effort to maintain that digital list than just noting "I need to buy milk". And now it's used for advertising space because it has no other real purpose.
