MEMORIES on ICE



THIS IS THE REFRIGERATOR OF MY YOUTH.


AND YES, IT WAS AS EXCITING AS A DIOR ORIGINAL.

      mom just told me that it cost 625.00 when new.
      she said it was a fortune. i believe the house was under 10,000.

      And the whooping energy consumption of one of those babies then!

      June had one like this. I don't recall the Beaver pulling too hard on it, though.

      My friend's grandmother had a pink refrigerator with lazy susan shelves that spun around. I still think design that was brilliant

    Did you ever caress it like Carol Merrill on "Let's Make a Deal?"

    Do you keep your panties in the fridge to cool them off in the summer, Norma?

    My god. When I was little, we had what was once Grandmother Muscato's old GE wheezer. We lived in awe of the neighbors because of their fridge, and it wasn't a patch on your Cycla-Matic wonder!

      mum has stressed that they blew their wad on this fridge,
      which filled far too much of the wee kitchen.

    The fanciest (and funniest) appliance I remember as a kid, in the house, was an electric floor polisher for that extra glossy waxed hardwood floors! My brother and I used to ride that baby.
