Past Microwave Meadows and Dishwater Downs, lay the infamous, polluted city of... FRIDGE-OPOLIS! It’s cold and cramped, smelly as sauerkraut, and the Eastside high-rises are full of dressings cloudy with gloom. With rotting food everywhere in sight, Mayor Mayonnaise calls on Doctor Baking Soda at Undersink Labs for help. Will they be able to save Fridge-opolis from utter rancid ruin?
