[lost_name]

Just a thought, but you could do this with a smart phone right now. I understand the implementation would be different integrated into the fridge, but maybe you could throw something together to see if you'd really like to do this after all.

I'm of the opinion that the value is immediately lost when I forget to scan things, which would almost certainly be the normal rather than the exception.

Edit: I should have assumed this already existed -- there's several apps on the Android/iOS/Windows Phone stores.
