REFRIGERDATING

Samsung has recently launched a promotional gimmick they call Refrigerdating, a service that matches you with dates based on what is inside your refrigerator. It’s actually just a p.r. contrivance to get you to notice their internet-connected refrigerators. The computerized refrigerators are able to determine what food is inside so, presumably, it tells you when you are out of something. Refrigerdating is like Tinder but you swipe through pictures of food, rather than faces. When you see a refrigerator full of food that you like, you let that owner know and maybe something will develop. Although the person who wrote the article noted that there only seem to be about 15 users on the Refrigerdating site and guesses they are probably all employees of Samsung.
* Nice of Samsung to let us know about their spectacularly failing marketing stunt.
* “Let’s see what’s in this refrigerator… pickle relish, low-fat yogurt, severed head, soy milk, bagged salad…”
* “Hey, this guy has black mold in his fridge, just like me!”
* Refrigerdating. You and your date are stuck in a meatlocker in the hope you’ll be encouraged to snuggle up to each other to stay alive.
