Instead of the usual three or four shelves, manufacturers should be required to add 44 or 45," Chauderey insists. "It is a kind of poverty of mind to offer consumers such a paltry amount of shelf space. Why stop there? I could use 80 or 85 shelves in mine.

Hmmm... looking at the names... this is a joke. "Coldwell" "Burr" (Brrr), etc.

I've always been offended by the universal Whiteness of refrigerators. Yes, refrigerators of color have been offered over the years, but they always just seem to suffer from "weak markets" or "changing tastes." It makes my blood boil.

Ah, but that's why the stainless steel door refrigerators have been so big. What I don't like is the shape. I want one that is cylindrical with lazy susan shelves that can twirl the moldy cheese to the front.

"Many refrigerator users, especially among the young, are challenging the staid attitudes toward hot and cold, and manufacturers must come to grips with the new tensions."
Ah the tensions of refrigerator design. It's chilling to think about.

I have a problem with this sort of thing myself. If I turn my control up too high, the water gets all hard and stuff. Somebody should pass a law so that doesn't happen.
To: formercalifornian
"Why," he asks, "should dispensers be restricted to water?" Burr believes a diversity of beverages should be allowed, and not just cold ones either: Hot chocolate, soup, cappuccino. And maybe even chili.Ease of cleanability immediately comes to mind.

Actually I think this Modest Proposal does a pretty good job of illustrating the absurd industry that the diversity and activism fetish has become. The worship of default 'thinking outside the box' without considering that perhaps there was a good reason for a box.
To: randog
No, it's not "The Onion", it's the Leeks or Scallions or perhaps the Shallot or Eschalot.
My fridge has a Chardonnay dispenser (and boy was it tough to cram him into the top shelf!) How small is he? He's so small,.....
But seriously folks,....refrigerators in Europe are much, much smaller than American fridges. How small are they?...They're so small,... Is this a great country or what?!!!
Remember when we used to call them "ice boxes" even when they weren't ice boxes?

Actually, that's a really great idea.
Until that happens, what about a mirrored back wall, so you can see what's in the back? Or maybe a bar code scanner for each item you add to the fridge -- the fridge computer will make a list of everything in there, the date added, the expiration date, etc, and suggest recipes with the ingredients.

Calling Susan lazy is horribly judgemental. She's indolent-by-choice Susan.

The worst thing that ever happened to refrigerators was when they made the top flat; the last time mine got cleaned off I found an old carton of eggs that had a "Use By" date printed in Roman numerals.
