  • ... that a crisper (example pictured) is a compartment inside a refrigerator used to store fresh produce?

Created by Chetsford (talk). Self-nominated at 17:59, 10 December 2018 (UTC).

  • It's fine--just squeaks by in terms of length (after removal of a trivial mention). Sources are fine, no plagiarism--but we're awaiting a QPQ. Chetsford, drop me a line when you got that taken care of. BTW, when was the first one placed in a refrigerator? I'm sure whatever was produced in 1835 wasn't in a machine like today's. Thanks, Dr Aaij (talk) 19:07, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
  • Plus, I wonder if we shouldn't add "humidity" to the hook; if so many people don't know how it works, then maybe they don't know that either. I wouldn't be surprised if you got a million hits with that. Dr Aaij (talk) 19:09, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
  • Drive-by comment: I know how it works (I have a Tupperware crisper), so I don't understand what's hooky here. X = Y is rarely hooky, BTW. Yoninah (talk) 22:40, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
  • Because they're uncommon in most countries, or they're not actually called a "crisper" by most people: in the UK it doesn't have a name, but people do know that the bottom of a fridge is good for parsnips, so it could get quite a few hits with people not from the US going "oh, that's what it's called". This is one of the 'obvious' hooks that isn't obvious for many readers. Kingsif (talk) 02:17, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi all, I apologize I haven't done the QPQ on this yet. I thought it might be good to take a photo of a crisper to include in the article so I just need to do that (but not my own because it's full). Chetsford (talk) 06:34, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
@Chetsford: I took a picture of mine for you. Yoninah (talk) 00:38, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
Dr Aaij - I've done a QPQ now. Also, I've added a "(pictured)" to the hook thanks to the image nicely contributed by Yoninah. Chetsford (talk) 00:52, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
I still don't like this hook; I think we have more possibilities here, more than just giving a definition. But OK: Dr Aaij (talk) 18:30, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
  • @Dr Aaij: if you don't think it's hooky, others won't either. Do you have a suggestion for improving it? Yoninah (talk) 20:36, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
  • I edited the article. Here's another idea:
  • ALT1: ... that many refrigerator owners do not know what the crisper drawers (example pictured) are for?
  • ALT2:... that many refrigerator owners do not understand the purpose or operation of crisper drawers (example pictured)? Yoninah (talk) 21:54, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
Thank you, Yoninah! I prefer both of these to the original hook! Chetsford (talk) 22:02, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
  • I prefer ALT1, so striking ALT2. Yoninah (talk) 00:27, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
Returned from queue per these comments at ERRORS. A new hook and/or adjustment to article wording is needed. Yoninah (talk) 13:59, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
Okay, how about ...
ALT3 ... that a crisper (pictured) is intended for the storage of vegetables, and sometimes fruit, too?
Chetsford (talk) 06:37, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
  • Reviewer needed for ALTs 3 and 4. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:58, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
  • ALT4 valereee (talk) 13:20, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
  • But valereee, the article doesn't say anything about "hydrocarbons". Yoninah (talk) 18:24, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
Yoninah, I think ethylene gas is the same as ethylene hydrocarbon? If not, maybe just change hydrocarbon to gas? The source says gas. valereee (talk) 18:30, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
  • Valereee, so let's change the hook to:
  • ALT4a: ... that a crisper (pictured) can help protect fruits and vegetables from ethylene gas? Yoninah (talk) 18:33, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

ALT4a valereee (talk) 18:38, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
