Those of you of a certain age interested in a bit of refrigeration nostalgia should check out an episode of the old Andy Griffith TV show that first aired back in 1964. (It usually shows up on the TV Land cable channel from time to time.)
The episode is called “Bargain Day” and it concerns an old — even by 1964 standards — horizontal closed lid freezer that Aunt Bea bought used from a discount store. With 150 pounds of frozen meat (also purchased cheap from a bulk supplier rather than good old Mr. Foley at the mom and pop grocery store in downtown Mayberry), Aunt Bea finds the freezer on the fritz the first time she plugs it in.
