It's hard to decide which is better, Frigidaire Finale or this, Match Your Mood. Both are loopy dance-filled salutes to refrigerators (I'm laughing as I type this as it all sounds so stupid). This film starts out very 60's, as a nicole-kidman-something-stupid-like model wanders the forest poking at stuff with a stick, it then seagues into the new Westinghouse promotion of 'Match Your Mood'. You can choose from many different styles! ('Astro-Glo Bronze' is interesting) and best of all, you can cover your fridge with wallpaper! This probably started the fridge-wallpapering craze that continued well into the 70's, and still continues to this day. Plenty of awful(ly great) and tacky wallpaper to 'match' your sport/mood/hobby (love the 'checkers' motif, as if someone would love checkers so much they decide to decorate their fridge with it). It also always helps if you're watusi-ing while you're wallpapering your fridge, as the lovely model does.
Anyways, this film is... OUT THERE. Totally hysterical. This is, of course, a MUST SEE on this site!
