A strange little side quest
If Drive Thru sends you down a curiosity rabbit hole, start here. Electric refrigeration reached the American mass market in the late 1920s, changing how households stored food and even how desserts such as ice cream could be made at home.

Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
