A mini-fridge-bar is a small private snack and beverage bar, that is defined as a fridge with a capacity of less than 5.5 cubic feet (160 l), often found in high-priced Western-style hotel rooms. Typically, a minibar comes in the form of a counter and small absorption refrigerator stocked with a precise inventory. The room's guests can take a beverage or snack at any time during their stay.
The bar is commonly stocked with small bottles of alcoholic beverages, juice, and soft drinks. It may also include candy, cookies, crackers, and other small snacks. Some hotels offer non-food items, such as socks, toiletries, and condoms. Prices are generally very high compared to similar items purchased from a store, because the guest is paying for the convenience of immediate access and also the upkeep of the bar. Prices vary, but it is not uncommon for one can of non-alcoholic beverage to cost between $4–$10.
Some mini-bars use infrared or other automated methods of recording purchases. These detect the removal of items, even if the items are not consumed. This is done to prevent loss of product, theft and lost revenue.

I don't know why we can't talk
Every time we try we get choked up
Running with the feelings that gets caught in your head
'Til I can't remember what it was we said
All my friends say I'm in love
Is this what I think they're thinking of?
I don't know why we can't win
Every time we lose, we just pretend
Running out of money at the end of the month
None of it can buy the things I want
All my friends say I'm in love
Is this what I think they're thinking of?
Count my friends on my left hand
I don't need another who wouldn't understand
Take myself with thoughts of leaving
Running out of things left to believe in
Running out of money and time
Running out of money and time
You won't be mine
I don't know why we can't win
Every time we lose, we just pretend
Running out of money at the end of the month
None of it can buy the things I want
All my friends say I'm in love
Is this what I think they're thinking of?
Count my friends on my left hand
I don't need another who wouldn't understand
All my friends say I'm in love
Is this what I think they're thinking of?
All my friends say I'm in love
