We refrigerate e erything because:
#1. We can
#2. We have super large refrigerators and sometimes 2 or 3. Which brings us to point #1.....Because We Can.....
#3. Bug Control
#4 Refrigerators are handy places to put everything, like that salad dressing that looks toxic from being in the fridge for a year or more.
#5. We are the most efficient, most productive and laziest people in the world. Why should we waste time pondering the expiration date for everything in our various cold storage bins.
Againm because we can.
#6. Those other countries like to live miserly and miserable.
#7. Who cares why the rest of the world stores whatever they store?
#8 . Americans hate going to the grocery store more than once a week.
#9. Those other countries benefit from our spectacular creativity and slothfullness.
#10. We gave the rest of the world clean drinking water, freakin toilets so newspaper reading can be leisurely while we pinch one off.
Ice cubes, ice cold beer and ketchup on french fries.
Bottom line is:
We’re so dang’d kewel the rest of the world wants to come here to enjoy life, libert and the pursuit of happiness.
To be like Americans
And just so they can finally put eggs and whatever they want to in their fridge.
Even something stupid like peanut butter somehow seems appropriate in the fridge, just so we can chisel it out of a glass jar, hoping we don’t break it.
Even if we do break it, unlike the rest of the world, we’ll only remark “Oops” and then we’ll grab another jar of peanut butter next to the ketchup amd those darn eggs that we haven’t gotten around to cooking.
Electricity.
