Writer's Block: A Little Light
Nov. 8th, 2008 10:25 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]Okay, so I saw this and it made me laugh. So I will take a shot at answering. But first, I am REALLY glad the election's over. I was getting so tierd of heariing people argue about it. Oh, wait. Debate.
So, shall I answer logically, or not? My logical guess is that you're more likely to want to get a drink in the middle of the night, which would be in the fridge. Stuff in the freezer is, well, frozen. It'd be too much effort to make something as a midnight snack, unless you really are awake, in which case most people would turn on a light.
Unless, of course, it's a matter of electricity. You see, when refrigerator designers were firstdesigning fridges with lights, they wanted to be sure the fridge would still run on a normal outlet in a normal kitchen. They also lacked the fancy wiring, and lower watt flouresent bulbs, that would be able to sustain power to two lights. Freezers require more direct power since they are keeping the food at a temperture further than normal than the refridgerator. So, they could only put a light in the refridgerator because that circut could handle the extra power demand. Putting a light in both parts would overload the system and the outlet the fridge was plugged into.
... It would be funny if that was actually true. :)
