Jerry Ostroski in WSJ July 14

[Mr Info]

Jerry O is in an article "The Push to Turn Men Into Appliance Shoppers" in the Wall Street Journal section D in the July 14 edition. The public link is not available yet so I will just post the text. There is not too much to it.

 

"Retired pro-football player Jerry Ostroski recently splurged on a hulking piece of steel equipment that he's been showing to his buddies on weekends.

 

A new workout machine? The latest All-Terrain vehicle? Actually, a giant freezer/refrigerator, Whirlpool Corp.'s "Freezerator", at $1,099, comes with rugged tread-like pattern on the steel."

"Mr. Ostroski, who played for the Buffalo Bills and now lives in Tulsa, Okla., says he'd never thought much about refrigerators until he saw the "Freezerator", which is part of Whirlpool's Gladiator GarageWork's line, on a TV segment about two months ago. "I thought it was awesome - there's nothing feminine about it," says Mr. Ostroski, who adds that he had always let his wife pick their appliances. He installed the Freezerator in a part of his garage where he hangs out with his friends to watch TV, drink beer and play videogames."

 

 

There was no picture of Jerry O with the article. It's a great fridge/freezer along with the Frigidaire Beverage Center (holds 16-gallon keg & spigot on front, $899) and the Heartland Ten50 fridge (black doors with Harley flames, chrome detailing, & motorcyle handlebar style handles, $6,000).
