Hmmm - if LEGO bricks were made of enameled steel I would suspect that one
didn't know what one was talking about. But I think you meant to say that
the *inside* of refrigerators are made of the same stuff LEGO is made of ...

If LEGO was ever made of steel, not only would it be rather heavy on a per
piece basis, but it would also break your foot if it landed on it! Ouch!!
;-) Mind you, it wouldn't stop me collecting LEGO - might slow me down a
bit though ... ;-)
Cheers ...

| (...) Enameled steel is passed away long ago, as a refrigerator material. Injection molded plastic (and yes, ABS) is the one mostly used today. Believe me, the company that ý wok for supplies parts to home appliances industry, and refrigeration (...) (24 years ago, 8-Apr-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)
