An urban myth yes, but until the 1960s it was true that they could not be opened from the inside and the airtight seal meant that it was difficult to hear someone stuck inside.  

That's what happened to that wee ghoul kid in Fallout 4

A pity they changed it. Boris might still have been stuck in that one he tried to hide in otherwise.

Of all the places he'd like to be stuck, I'd imagine a fridge would be high on the list.

That version of Sweet Child o' Mine is my main reason for never watching again.

Similarly there was an advert about not going home with a nonse set to an Oasis song and it's put me off for life, both being nonsed and that song for life.

 

Back the to safety videos...

"... and it's not just the limbs that are taken away from the body, the whole inside is out and spread all over the track"

Nice dose of realism there.

Last through the fence always got blocked on the train side by pals. The noise and smoke from the diesel freights was terrifying. Didn't stop us using the shortcut for years though.

I've seen some accounts of rail suicides and accidents, it's a messy business.

Finally found the Rat Poison advert was out much later than I remember it (Mandela Effect at its best) 

 

According to this BBC News article - it was shown in the cinema before the feature started hahahaa http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8010978.stm

On the principle of 'better out than in', I reckon swallowing that rat poison and puking it up once is better than having it running around inside me doing god-knows what.

If viagra and cures for baldness were on the NHS I wouldn't need to buy them off the internet.

"AIDS has been confined to small groups"

Nothing like a bit of subtle classism and homophobia in Thatcher's Britain

Apparently Reagan completely ignored (and refused to even publicly mention) AIDS for years until it was a full-blown epidemic, and it couldn't be denied that it wasn't just homosexuals who were contracting it. Seems like a disease that killed gay people had been an open joke in the White House during his tenure.

I don't think we had the same design here but, again in America, their fridges had a locking pull handle well into the '80s, and no way of unlocking them from the inside. Apparently it was worryingly common for young kids to go adventuring at the municipal dump, or even just find an old fridge someone had flytipped, and get themselves locked inside, at which point they were guaranteed to suffocate unless someone randomly walked past and decided to open the door on the soundproof, immovable coffin for some reason (unlikely).

Stephen King's It has a whole chapter about one of the kids liking to lock animals in fridges at the dump, then come back and f**k about with the corpses, eventually (IIRC) moving on to doing it with toddlers. And that's not the worst thing in that book that successive screenwriters have decided to skip over  :shutup
