I also work in an engineering office, and our fridges get pretty nasty. They only get cleaned out when someone complains and the stench from the inside becomes overwhelming. If you are daring enough to store food in the company fridge, you may be fortunate enough to not even be able to enjoy it, because people will steal and eat it. I used to keep sodas in there, but a 12 pack would disappear in a matter of a few days, after I had maybe two. On the rare occasion that I do store food in the fridge, it's usually in a fairly sealed container or bag that I write my name all over, or seal it up so well that the would be food thief passes it over for easier pickings.
I now bring in my own cooler with a days supply of soda and sometimes lunch. No one is bold enough to come behind my desk and steal food. It irritates me that people are so petty that they will steal food in what is supposed to be a professional environment.
