Talk:Frigidaire

LOGO
It is stated in the article that the logo was Product of General Motors, I have a collection of these dating from the 1940's to an early 1960's model. Not a single one has the logo mentioned, rather they all have the following logo: FRIGIDAIRE MADE ONLY BY GENERAL MOTORS. So someone need to do a better job of researching the facts and it is sorely lacking references!--75.17.201.58 (talk) 20:10, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

There's a George Formby song called Frigid Air Fanny, which I initially thought had been misheard, but now I wonder if it was written that way to avoid advertising or copyright or something. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.158.137.227 (talk) 14:07, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Some mention should be made of the fact that Frigidaire refrigerators were so ubiquitous in many parts of the country in the 1930s and 40s that the word "fridigaire" is used to mean refrigerator in many parts of the South.

Someone please add under "Popular Culture" that the following lyric appears in the song "You're Sensational" (from the motion picture "High Society" and recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1955): I don't care if you are called the fair Miss Frigidaire &#61;&#61;JJS&#61;&#61; (talk) 17:16, 22 December 2012 (UTC)Jim Speiser

US-centric?
". . .the widely-used U.S.-slang term fridge" is a little parochial: as an ageing Brit I can confirm that the same term (with the same spelling) was/is ubiquitous in the UK. Equally, the products themselves were widely sold in the UK under the name 'Frigidaire', but this Article gives the impression that they were US only. The Electrolux article does however include in its long list of products – "Frigidaire, full range major appliance brand sold globally". {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 185.74.232.130 (talk) 17:54, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Use as a personal name?
I remember reading in Mario Pei's book, The Story of Language, that "Frigidaire" became a popular feminine first name in some parts of Latin America. Never heard anything about this otherwise. Anybody know? Kostaki mou (talk) 22:25, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
