:These days refrigerators come in cartons for safe storage. Also you can open them to store floppy discs, which is a lot easier than trying to load them in soda cans. Especially the unopened ones. {{unsigned|Weatherlawyer}}

:: But what is a refrigerator carton? What do you mean they "come in cartons for safe storage"? What's a carton? Is it a cardboard box that fits a whole refrigerator? A wooden crate? A bunch of pillows surrounding the fridge? What is it?

:: When I do a Google search, I find cardboard boxes with insulating liners designed to hold dry ice, regular ice, or other cold and possibly leaky ingredients, which is not what you said. I think that's what Randall meant. But mostly my searches yield an almost random assortment of cardboard boxes which are coincidentally associated with fridges in some way, which suggests it is a term Randall uses but not one recognized by the general public. Since these are so obscure, the article should probably explain. At a minimum, we need a volume estimate, which we can't really get from the context, since both floppies and SD cards spanned orders of magnitude of storage at the time.[[User:EebstertheGreat|EebstertheGreat]] ([[User talk:EebstertheGreat|talk]]) 04:01, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 
 
A soda can of then's microSD cards could hold the whole iTunes library then. A soda can of now's microSD cards could hold the whole iTunes library now. I do not see the issue or what seems unreasonable. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.78.76|162.158.78.76]] 02:55, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
