He likes to climb into refrigerators and close the door apparently. Not really a great hobby to promote.

Adjacent fact: the Time Machine in Back to the Future was initially based on a refrigerator, but they were afraid kids would start playing in an abandoned fridges and suffocate. So they switched it to the Delorean which partially led to the future with a stainless steel Swasticar designed by a Nazi who’s trying to take over the government.

So maybe it would have been better if they had promoted playing in fridges, and the moron kids from my generation would have been Darwin awarded out of the voting and gene pools.
