No See Food

I just realized something.  My refrigerator doesn’t have a light in it.  I tried to open it in the dark and couldn’t see anything.  It’s made by Siemens, a global appliance manufacturer, so presumably they intentionally decided to omit the fridge light for the Chinese market.

What, the Chinese don’t open the fridge in the dark?

Dude, you’re in China.  Do you REALLY want to see what it is you’re stuffing in your mouth?

Yeah.  My fridge is, with the exclusion of most of the fruits and veggies, all Amercan-branded products, and many of those are imported from America.  Example?  Topnight I bought two boxes if frozen White Castle cheeseburgers, made in the USA.  Now how do you go wrong there?

Sure that’s beef you’re eating?

I find it rather odd that it came without a light - perhaps the socket is just hidden?  Have you really gotten in and given it a thorough examination?  It might be that someone was saving money by not providing the lights, leaving it up to you to go buy one. 

You could shave a couple grand off your operating expenses by doing that if you were really cheap.

No, I looked.  There’s no light in the fridge.  There’s no little switch in the door, either.  They actually built a fridge with no light.

Like I said, I can understand if this was a Chinese company, but it’s Siemens.  They sell fridges all over the world.  The only logical deduction is that, like you said, they intentionally decided to omit the light to save money. 

Most Chinese have grown up their whole lives without owning a fridge, so I guess none of them have the expectation that there will be a light in it.

Beats the shit out of me.

Maybe they’re afraid that putting a light in it will wake up the ghosts.

Can you just imagine the Chinese watching an American movie and seeing the little light come on..

“What the fuck is up with that light?”

“Have you ever seen anything like that?  They are so fucking rich, they even have lights inside their refrigerator.”

“Americans are so crazy, why does the food need a light?”

You just gotta squint your eyes like them orientals. That explains why there’s no light on your stairs either.

Are you sure your refrigerator wasn’t really made in North Korea? Because it would make sense that they would keep their food in the dark as much as their people.
