Why do all fridges have to be box shaped? A skinny fridge would take up less room and use less energy. Everything would be within easy reach with the skinny fridge.-- jackoutofthebox, Nov 01 2002 (?) Skinny Fridges http://www.zama-ent...evel=2&txtCatName=201 Nov 02 | High-quality, and skinny. [bristolz, Oct 04 2004] And you'll save so much room you can have one of these, too. http://www.kegworks...raft/kegfridge.htmlKeg fridges. [bristolz, Oct 04 2004] Define "skinny."-- bristolz, Nov 01 2002 Well, I imagine spherical would be even more efficient, but it'd roll away when you close the door.-- bookworm, Nov 01 2002 Skinny would be half the width of a standard fridge.-- jackoutofthebox, Nov 01 2002 Oh, the beer. I admitted I didn't get out enough and modified my post.-- jackoutofthebox, Nov 01 2002 Only low-fat, diet food can fit in the skinny fridge.-- snarfyguy, Nov 01 2002 I want Twiggy to pitch the fridge to consumers.-- jackoutofthebox, Nov 02 2002 I doubt she could lift one.-- bristolz, Nov 02 2002 why do they have to be white, or silver, for that matter? Build me a tartan fridge & you have customer 1.-- General Washington, Nov 02 2002 Cameron of Erracht is the only Cameron civilsed man should consider. The splintering of Clan Cameron has become like something out of Nonconformist America, with a number of hideous yellow and purple neoplaids proliferating. Rumours of a Cameron of Diaz on the way.
And unfortunately no range of tartans is complete with Officers Blackwatch, I reluctantly concede.-- General Washington, Nov 04 2002 It would be cool to have a fridge that was only about as wide as door frame, brushed silver with a silver handle, it sits in a recess in the wall and slides outwards like a sliding door, this can only be used to hold bottles and thin things that can fit on the shelves inside the frame, most things kept in a fridge probably could.-- Gulherme, Nov 04 2002 I saw a combination fridge/oven recently. Quite a silly idea.-- hippo, Nov 04 2002 Actually, a narrow fridge has more exterior surface area, and is therefore less energy efficent. (Fishboned.)
And don't forget the ((2r)^3 - (4/3(pi)r^3)) wasted space around this "spherical fridge" of yours. Let r = the radius of this spherical fridge.-- andrewm, Feb 18 2003 random, halfbakery
