If we're not supposed to have midnight snacks, then why does the fridge have a light in it?

[Racez]

What do you think?

Does it makes sense at all or is there something more to it?

[AlmostAsylum]

Lol. This is a completely made up theory:

We aren't supposed to, but we do and people kept fumbling around for food.

In order to beat the competition, a refrigerator company began putting lights in the fridges so that more people would be inclined to buy their fridges. Soon enough, all companies did this.

1. Where I am the shortest days could mean it's dark at 7.

2. Halo effect, food just looks better with a light behind it.

3. Regardless of whether or not the room is bright, it's easier to see what's actually in the fridge.

Maybe someone needs to do repairs on the refrigerator at night , I've a uncle who works on things at night . It's not about midnight snacks , The light is needed for other things .

If we're not supposed to drink and drive so why do they sell booze at every gas station?

If we're supposed to work out at the gym, why there's an elevator before the entrance?

If we're supposed to take only that much medicine as prescribed, why there are sales/discounts/bonuses at the pharmacy?

Have a nice day.

Because it can be dark in your fridge and hard to see the stuff you have in it even if it's not midnight or nighttime. The light helps you find stuff quicker and easier thus cuts the time you spend looking in your fridge for stuff and helps your electrical bill.

Your fridge lights only turn on at night? o.0

There is something wrong with your fridge then. xD

The reason for the lights, is so that you're able to see what's in side, since it's an enclosed space or does your fridge have windows too? xD

Because it gets dark when it's full of stuff. Like when you're trying to find something in the back of the closet right at the bottom...

Because it's not always midnight (or even night at all) when we need a light to be able to see?

[Agent_Mouse]

Sometimes answers can be so obvious...

[Brando]

So obvious, that we see beyond them :)

[gummybear888]

so that I don't accidentally grab hot sauce instead of ketchup for my food...

[RedThread]

Interesting hypothesis but I like to see things with clarity regardless of the time of day, weather, or the lighting in the room.

[red324]

Because they paid me to install lights in all the refridgerators:) I'm rich now.

[Anonymous]

so you can see what's in the back when you have a full fridge...

[Anonymous]

so you can see what you are grabbing if you have a powercut ;)

[cristinaboss]

Haha I love this! Never thought about it.

[EmpressMe]

Lmfao! Clever! this made me smile!

[steveguitar]

Lol best question on the site!

[AntonioAI]

The fridge deserves a light, as it is holy.

[Cottoncandydreams]

Because it just does.

[antonlikesmlb]

Obviously to help you see what's inside better.

[Anonymous]

So you can look with more clarity :P
