History of the Refrigerator Back in time a long time ago, around 500 B.C. the Egyptians and Indians made ice on cold nights by setting water out in earthenware pots and keeping the pots wet.

These two CFCs were eventually manufactured by E.I. du Pont de Nemours and company, and, under the trade name “freon,” constituted 15% of the market for refrigerator gases. CFCs were the perfect answer for cooling refrigerators and air conditioners.

I want Julie to recount that discussion about Elie Weisel’s Night to her friend on the bus, and I want them to feel enlightened and emotional about it. Years from now, I want to hear Jose tell his son about the class where he realized he wasn’t stupid and could write well. I want him to write a story about it.

Now, I think to myself, what to do about lunch. I walk over to the refrigerator and open the door. My eyes start scanning the shelves. Hmmm, no…no…yes! I will make myself a turkey sandwich. I like turkey. I like turkey a lot. I take the turkey and set it on the counter. Then I grab the Buttermilk White bread, freshly made
