This was something that I was going to write about earlier because it happened a few weeks ago, but I got busy with special holiday posts and things. This is something that kind of bothered me at first, but now that I've gotten used to it, it actually turns out to be a blessing in disguise. I am of course talking about an issue that has plagued countless American homes: Inadvertent Culinary Vandalism (ICV).
Yes, our household has seen at least three cases of ICV in the past year, each one more horrific and terrifying than the last one. The first involved a kitchen time being knocked to the floor, causing the numbers to not display properly. The second was someone (who will not be named) who used her Hulk-like powers to rip the handle off of the refrigerator door. As if those weren't bad enough, a few weeks ago someone who lives here that isn't me broke the switch that activates the light in the fridge.
I know! It was so traumatic. But luckily, (don't worry, there's a Green message in here somewhere) this cloud has a silver lining. This case of ICV made me realize that we don't need lights in our fridges. Yes, it's true, we can't see all the mold growing on everything until it's too late, but look at the Green side of the whole picture. Having the light on generates heat and that heat takes even more energy for the fridge to bring the temperature back down.
So let's all ditch the lights in our fridges. Sometimes we need to have a little bit of ICV to make us realize things like this, so next time someone breaks something in your kitchen, don't get mad, get Green!
