Fresh Food and Coloured Lights

Our replacement fridge arrived today. Kudos to Currys for being able to deliver it so quickly and big thanks to the two chaps that were able to get it into position in the kitchen with a minimum of fuss. The new fridge has coloured lights inside. I’ve always been a sucker for coloured lights, even in fridges. The lights change colour to mimic the day-night cycle that our lettuce was experiencing before it was pulled from the ground, wrapped in plastic, shipped across the country and dropped into the salad drawer. The technology is called Harvest Fresh and apparently it preserves freshness and vitamins for up to five days or so. No, I’m not convinced by this either, but the fridge is nice enough. And the door is very firmly attached.
