bitter smell that you might get if you open a bottle of Clorox or something like that or some cleaners have ammonia in them. But the ammonia is an extremely efficient refrigerant. And so they're back in the 1800s, scientists determined that they could remove the heat from a room basically and refrigerate that space, refrigerate that product by utilizing ammonia in a closed loop system. Now I'm not an engineer, so I can't tell you all the technical ins and outs, but basically that development of that technology and that use of, in this case, ammonia to allow for the mechanical refrigeration helped us evolve from harvesting ice out of a river to now being able to make our own ice through these refrigeration technologies. And then the evolution of those technologies enabled people like Clarence Birdseye. You may think about Birdseye frozen vegetables, and he was really a pioneer in the process of taking a vegetable and freezing it and being able to package that up. And then you could (14/41)
