I dunno if this was more 80s or 90s, but a deathy fear of kids dying in discarded fridges. If my childhood was to be believed, a fridge was just a whirling vortex of death to anyone under 12 years old.

80s. Punky Brewster did a thing on it. Probably rooted in the time when fridges had those locking arm bars and poo poo.

I have a feeling that was due more to old 40's and 50's fridges with exterior locking latches finally giving up the ghost and being left out on the curb, because if you got trapped in one of those you would have been hosed.

It was. In the late 70’s I heard a TON of warnings and pictures of dead kids being hauled out of refrigerators, and they were all those chrome handled click-latch fridges from wayyy back that were ancient relics even at the time.

You could find those fridges in the woods all the time in the 80's. After that, people made a point of pulling the doors when they found them. It was drilled into all of is in the '80s to never climb inside a fridge when playing hide and go seek in the woods.

KozmoNaut posted:Maybe people shouldn't leave their drat trash in the forest. That's what people did back then. Rather than put effort into disposing of your dead appliances, you just borrowed your buddy's truck and left it out in the woods or dumped it in the river. Why do you think "no dumping" signs persist to this day?

I was reading a comic and thought of you guys I'm ashamed to admit I actually kind of like it because it's just SO STUPID.  It also has the president of future-USA drop one-liners like this:  I don't think this style of XtREEM comic really survived the 90s well. I'm still not sure if it's actually on a transcendental level of irony. (1998)

The fridge/freezer thing isn't really just about the ones with latches. They have pretty strong magnetic/vacuum seals, especially freezers. They are easy to open from the outside with the benefit of a handle (leverage) but from within it's a bit more difficult. Especially for a little kid. This holds true with even today's modern appliances. That seal is tough.

Crazy action, QTEs, picking stuff up and beating people with it, skyscrapers, it's all there. Sure, there's lots of Shenmue-esque side content, but the action is way closer to Die Hard/Dynamite Deka. They're like 40 hour JRPG versions of the same concept.

This seems a little off. In the 80's and early 90's beige, teal, or other warm toned refrigerators and other appliances were still prominent, with "pure white" appliances becoming popular in the mid 90's. Stainless steel is definitely a 2000's and later thing and is still the most prominent design now. I don't recall seeing a smart refrigerator prior to 2009 at the earliest. Not that it matters of course.

I think my continuing fondness for a few of these is solely because I heard them so often on this commercial. But out of all the Sweet songs available, they went with Little Willy? It also hit me that One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack) was used in the Billy Jack movie, which if you've never seen it, is certainly ... something. The whole series is wild.

And Coven was this real, black magik witchcraft HAIL SATAN band and then their only hit was some wimpy cartoon we used to sing at summer camp. Also up until I discovered Todd in the Shadows, I thought The NIght Chicago Died was about the Great Chicago Fire. Thing is, most of these songs are on the playlist at work.

Yeah because they’d hawk that poo poo for years [fake edit: maaannnn] I wonder how successful publishing companies are with compilations like these now, with music streaming services offering dozens of playlists like this across dozens of genres. There’s still probably a market for them but it’s dying out with the olds.
