This Fridge Commercial From The 50s Proves They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To

<div><p>We think that technology gets better all the time, and for the most part that's true. </p><p>Smartphones, computers, TVs and other gadgets have improved a lot in the past 10 years. But when it comes to some of the appliances we grew up with, it can be surprising how good they <strong>used to </strong>be. </p><p>Take the refrigerator featured in this 1956 ad by Frigidaire. Almost 60 years later, this antique puts every fridge I've ever owned to shame. </p><div><div><div><amp-youtube height="9" width="16" layout="responsive" data-videoid="hnfWkB60WRE"></amp-youtube></div></div></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>First thing's first: this fridge is <strong>huge! </strong>You could fit a whole month's worth of leftovers in there with room to spare.</p><p>Then, there's all the bells and whistles. Like the detachable "picture window" hydrator that lets you check on your veggies and wash them all at once.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Hydrator.PNG" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p>Then, you have the rolling shelves to reach the food hiding at the back. Honestly, this is such a simple but brilliant idea, why isn't it standard in all fridges by now?</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Shelves.PNG" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Shelves_GH_content_550px.PNG 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>Finally, the freezer - yes, there's a built-in freezer - has an automatic ice ejector. If you have keen eyes you can even spot that there's room for four trays of ice cube in a special section under the freezer. How convenient!</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Ice.PNG" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p>Honestly, I think most of us would be glad to have a fridge this good today, no matter how old it is!</p><p>This just proves that we're not as smart as we think we are.
