Ever since I registered it, I've been getting occasional emails from the good people at Frigidaire. I usually glance at them before deleting them, and then I usually forget about them. But I got this email from them at the beginning of the week, and I’ve been kind of thinking about it ever since.
The subject line for the email read, “It's Frozen Food Month!” This means nothing to me, but I've been wondering, is this a real thing? Who came up with this? Why have I not seen anything about this in the news? Is this like some kind of national holiday or something?
I wonder how something like this comes about. Does it go through Congress? Does the President have to sign off on it? If Congress is spending their time on stuff like this, what else are they spending their time on? No wonder nothing ever gets done.
If the Congress isn’t involved in this, what does this mean? Does this mean that anybody can go off willy-nilly, declaring holidays for any reason at all? Isn’t this kind of thing regulated? It seems to me that we are setting ourselves up for another free market fiasco.
Maybe all of this seems kind of harmless. "After all", you're probably asking, "Who would it hurt?" Well, for one, I'm guessing it would hurt that clearly over stimulated kid pictured in my email. Imagine what will happen when Mom tells him to put that ice cream back in the freezer and get his rear end to school? I'm guessing that he's not going to take it well.
Real or not, none of this makes any sense to me - and I haven't even covered the fact that wouldn't freezing food for a solid month be more of a "fall-time harvest" kind of thing, instead of a "we're a week away from the first day of spring" kind of thing?
Other than making no sense, it doesn't really bother me. The only thing that really bothers me is that I am thinking about this at all.
