0:00.0 | Redditors who grew up filthy rich. What did you think was normal till you learned otherwise? |
0:04.0 | Honestly, it was the little things. I knew we had nicer cars than average, a bigger house, went on more trips, etc. |
0:11.0 | But I thought everyone's refrigerator had wood-paneled cabinet doors. For example, we had a sub-zero built-in refrigerator and freezer. |
0:18.0 | The first time I saw a metal fridge, I thought it was weird, |
0:21.4 | and I thought it was even weirder that the fridge and freezer were combined, but then I got really |
0:25.9 | jealous because you could put magnets on it. I also thought everyone had a central vacuum system, |

1:11.7 | I will never be surprised that the lengths humanity will go to preserve and refrigerate food, |
1:15.9 | and frankly, the sky is the limit with refrigerator technology, at least until we get Mr. Freeze |
1:20.5 | Freeze Ray from the Batman. Probably a weird example, but growing up, all of our dishes were made |
1:26.3 | of fine china, water for glassware, |
1:28.5 | etc. And I just thought that's what plates and stuff were made of, because we didn't have anything |
