Top 5 Freaky Fridges
Written by John Mackey
#1 - Taking color-coded Tupperware and red sharpies that warn, “This is Tim’s Yogurt, KEEP OUT” to the next level, the Electrolux Flatshare Refrigerator is obviously the product of a guilty conscience (or someone who never forgot having their microwave burritos violated). Unless next year’s model comes with combination locks for the separate compartments, this product is doomed to the deepfreeze of bad ideas.
The video can be found on this link for the next freaky fridge.
#2 - Did you hear about the guy who got busted for drunk driving on his motorized barstool? Well, maybe next time, he could add this little gem as a sidecar. With a top speed of 15 mph (Millers Per Hour), this Boozer Cruiser is equipped with a 33cc 2-cycle or a 39cc 4-stroke. Or, for the green-around-the-gills types, an Electric 300- or 500-watt power motor. Prices range from $349 to $499, but the actual cost when your wife sees “Cruzin’ Cooler” on your credit card statement? Priceless!
#3 - For those fine human specimens who follow an exercise routine limited to 12-Ounce Curls, this Home Beer Fridge featuring an in-door tap will make the Brew Krew pop their collective tops. And when you add an A+ energy rating, electronic temperature controls and antibacterial silver ion treatment… oh, hell, who are we kidding, dude! It’s got a tap in the door!
#4 - It’s a fact - some things are better left to rest in peace in the landfills of our minds and hearts. Multicolor 60s shag carpeting is definitely one of those things. Even though it’s reportedly eco-friendly because the shag rug sleeves work as insulation to conserve fridge energy, sometimes you just have to put your foot down and say, “Sorry, Mr. Gore, I love the earth as much as you do, but the inconvenient truth is that eye pollution can be worse than air pollution.”
#5 - For many years, all refrigerators had two things in common: they were all white and had dorky names like Norge, Kelvinator, Speed Queen, Unimac, QuicFrezs, and the always popular Crosley Shelvadors (complete with a radio in the door). But in the 50s and 60s, companies like Amana and Hotpoint started rolling out brand new colors so ugly they could kill your appetite. Those happy days are back with the Retro-inspired Big Chill Refrigerator. Choose from colors like Cherry Red, Pink Lemonade and Jadeite Green. Sorry, no Olive Drab or Bed-Wetter Yellow options this time around.
