and their beer cans. Very cute indeed. A battle for the minds of our youth. A parent talked the school board where my daughter is to use soy based biodiesel in the buses. Environmentalism used to be so much simpler.

I Googled it.

It increases the thermal mass. No more than a gallon of water or milk would though, so, kind of dumb really. A fridge filled with bricks will use less energy than one mostly empty. One brick however would not be noticeable. Not analogus to a brick in the toilet tank.

In the end, it all comes down to biodiversity. Poison Darts--Protecting the biodiversity of our world

Hey Grist,

I speculate that the reason they put a brick in the fridge is as follows:

Putting a brick in the fridge is much like puting a jug of water in...when the fridge is relatively empty, it keeps and stores the coolness, especially if the fridge is opened and closed often.

The brick is like a holding agent. Adding more mass to the inside of the fridge allows it to maintain a constant temperature. (as opposed to an empty fridge, which would quikly lose its coolness when opened.)
