The Funniest Episode.

What counts as a good Meme?
The answer might be that it’s not intentionally made into a meme, but ends up becoming one because it’s just too funny.
While daily trading is still racking its brains to ride the hype, some memes have inadvertently attracted attention due to their humorous nature --- like launching a coin called "FRIDGE" (冰箱) on a refrigerator.
In today’s on-chain hot topics, this FRIDGE can be considered a mudslide.
The gist of the story is that a developer went to a mall and accidentally saw a Samsung smart refrigerator, then he used the touchscreen to launch a meme coin and live-streamed the entire process.
Afterward, FRIDGE began to be discussed gradually in English CT, and this slightly performance-art-like operation seemed to be well-received, with the token's market value rising to 6M.
Some community comments even said this was a win-win-win situation: Samsung could use this for advertising, the developer made some money from a spur-of-the-moment idea, and on-chain players got a new funny speculation target.
When you understand the full picture of this "refrigerator coin launch" incident, you might find it aligns more with the original essence of memes --- it has a punchline.
Live-streaming the refrigerator coin launch, a sense of absurdity and surprise
The story began with a humorous developer wanting to launch a coin using a smart device on Pump.fun.
He then went to a nearby mall, took a look around, and finally settled on a Samsung refrigerator with a touchscreen, deciding to use it to launch a coin, spontaneously naming it FRIDGE, and posted a video on Twitter of himself using the refrigerator to log into Pump.fun.
Since he needed to learn about the refrigerator's operating system and interaction, his coin wasn’t fully launched yet.
An hour later, he uploaded a live video showing that he successfully logged into Pump.fun using the refrigerator to launch the coin, and FRIDGE officially went live, while also praising Samsung's refrigerator for being very smart.
Subsequently, because the developer was filming himself in the mall interacting with the refrigerator, his continuous filming drew attention and he was stopped by the mall manager, who asked him to leave under the pretext of prohibiting filming;
At this point, the developer humorously posted that he wouldn’t leave until this advanced "refrigerator coin launch technology" and this historic moment were witnessed; even funnier was that by this time, the refrigerator coin had successfully transitioned from the internal market of Pump.fun to the external market on Raydium, giving the developer a new option:
Should I buy this refrigerator and take it home?
The story was already quite funny at this point; the absurdity and humor of launching a refrigerator coin and ultimately deciding to buy the refrigerator hit hard.
And then came the even funnier part: the coin's price chart was still displayed on the refrigerator's touchscreen, and the mall manager, who had previously kicked the developer out, became interested in this matter and asked what the price trend meant.
After the developer explained, the manager, clearly showing a greedy side of human nature, expressed that he also wanted some refrigerator coins; this was a huge contrast to his earlier action of kicking the developer out, essentially an online live "persuasion through price increase."
Then things got even more ridiculous; the developer installed the Phantom wallet on the mall manager's phone and guided him through some token processes; but clearly, the manager was a novice and couldn’t figure out how to transfer coins and trade.
However, the screenshots in the post revealed the address of this new wallet, so some community members who saw the post began to engage in performance art, actually transferring some refrigerator coins (worth $2000 at the time, now more) into the mall manager's wallet.
Thus, the story of "I infiltrated the mall to launch a coin using a refrigerator and made the refrigerator seller some money" officially formed, with the entire process filled with absurdity and surprise, making the refrigerator coin rise in value.
The Refrigerator Contest, Community to the Rescue
But the story isn’t over yet; remember the part where the developer wanted to buy the refrigerator?
As the mall was about to close, the developer decided to approach the mall manager to express his desire to purchase the refrigerator. He felt this was a remarkable event and was very satisfied with the performance and capabilities of the Samsung refrigerator.
However, a twist occurred; when he wanted to buy it, the mall manager told him that the refrigerator had already been reserved for himself.
Since the refrigerator the developer used to launch the coin was a display model, the mall manager essentially locked in the refrigerator at an internal price for himself, which was quite reasonable.
The developer felt a bit dejected at this point, clearly hoping to buy the refrigerator himself, but there seemed to be no good way to do so.
Just then, the spirit of the crypto community began to shine through.
Another community member who saw the post happened to be in the same city as the developer, found the post very interesting, and decided to generously help out by driving the developer to another electronics store to find the same refrigerator model.
So they began a city-wide search, visiting various malls just to find a Samsung 636L AI Family Hub refrigerator; at this point, buying this refrigerator had become a more interesting task and an unfulfilled wish.
From the developer's live post, it was clear they drove around from dawn until dusk, and eventually found the same refrigerator model in a mall, but due to its large size, it couldn’t fit in the trunk, and they were still figuring out how to transport it back.
As of the time of writing, the developer had updated the post, sharing a screenshot of the refrigerator being transported back home.
Thus, the story of the crypto degens searching for the same refrigerator came to an end.
What’s interesting about this story is that it showcases, to some extent, the cohesion and creativity of the crypto community. A simple act of launching a coin evolved into an interesting tug-of-war involving a physical product (the refrigerator), unexpectedly involving the store manager and another enthusiastic individual.
Of course, we can also skeptically suspect that this was a rather elaborate self-directed performance, and everything might have been scripted.
But from the perspective of this unexpected situation and the event itself, it somewhat aligns with the core of meme culture ------
Absurdity, spontaneity, dramatic twists, and that unpredictable viral potential.
Sometimes, this is even stronger than those memes that are deliberately created, because the highest form of humor often appears in the most ordinary ways.
In the fierce PVP battles, taking a break to enjoy a story about a refrigerator offers a unique flavor.
Risk Warning: MEME has no actual value support, is greatly influenced by market sentiment, and most (over 99%) MEME will lead to zero in the end. This article is only a personal experience sharing and does not constitute any investment advice.
