Ok, true. Many people have a big freezer.

Although not in Europe were the virus is about to peak in the coming two weeks. The average freezer and refrigerator is much smaller here.

This is why we (as Europeans, Dutch) bought an American fridge. So we can store large amounts of food. We buy certain things when they're on sale, in large amounts. There's much less choice available of American fridges (especially if you have other requirements such as amount of dB). It saves us money on the longer term.
