The History of the TV Tray

Inside the controversial history of how the TV tray table, an American icon, became mainstream.
Once my friend Chad came to see me. Upon entering the house, the first thing he did was go to the refrigerator, open the door, and stick his head inside to check out the contents. I want to see how you live, he said. This may not be the accepted protocol for visiting a friend in their home, but I think Chad was on to something. What's in our refrigerators says a lot about us. If we are what we eat, then the refrigerator has become a huge part of who we are. It's become so common that we may not give it a great deal of thought, but this one appliance has had a tremendous influence on the way we live at home. And yet, less than 100 years ago, people didn't have refrigerators at all.
