    And it holds six ice trays, too. I had forgotten about Campbell's frozen soup. I wonder if they still make it. I don't think so.
    I mean, what is the purpose of freezing something that's already canned?

    I think this is the first time I've seen "arama" on the name of an appliance, but it's very fitting. Time for the Sunday afternoon family smorgasbord!

    These big ole side by sides are rare - hence the $10,000 price tag for a completely re-manufactured unit.

    When I was a kid, we had an old Frigidaire "icebox", a fridge whose separate compressor was located in the basement.Copper tubing went up to it. In 1961 we replaced it with a Kelvinator Foodarama, which was a side-by-side unit looking like the one in the picture except it looked more modern (corners not rounded, rubber seals, not latches).It was still there when we moved away in 1968.
