  There are companies I like, but there’s a limit to my simping for any of them. Projection light on your fridge door crosses a line.

    I get where you’re coming from, I’m logo free to the maximum extent practical, but a fridge is inside your house. If i wanted an “M” projection on my fridge light (I definitely don’t, but if I did), I wouldn’t consider that providing free advertising.

      I’m more thinking about how I’d have to go out of my way to hook this thing up and make it work on a fridge. It’s not like that just came with the fridge, or that wires are easily accessible for power and (presumably) switching it on and off when the door is closed. There’s some custom work here, and while I don’t think it’s a crazy amount of effort, it’s way more than I’m willing to go through for my personal favorite car company (Mazda).

        I don’t know how the Mercedes ones work or what type of fridge he has, but BMWs just have a door light and a filter goes over it for “M”, “BMW”, the roundel, etc., and my fridge just has a light.

        I assumed he found you could put the filter from the car on the fridge light with a minimum of fucking around.

        But you’re right, the more time and effort spent on this, the stupider it becomes.
