essential camping items

For those of us with solar and a fridge, I'm assuming everyone keeps their fridge turned on as we get 'free' energy. If so, what's always in your fridge, regardless if you're going on a camping trip? Nice cold cans of coca cola? Fully stocked with brewdog punk IPA? A bottle of 15 year old dom...
