Doc's refrigerator
From Futurepedia, the Back to the Future Wiki
- Doc: "Iced tea?"
- Marty: "No thanks. (pause) It's a refrigerator."
- — Doc and Marty in the stables
A refrigerator was built by Emmett Brown in 1885 as a way to make ice for his own drinks. The large, noisy, steam-powered machine took up en entire wall of Doc's livery stable. While Marty McFly was in discussion with him, the steam whistle blew on the machine and Marty was instructed to turn a valve. Out of a hole came a single brownish ice cube which Doc dropped into his beaker of tea.
The machine apparently could not make enough ice to share with others, since earlier that day, the three old timers at the Palace Saloon next door had laughed at Marty's request for ice water.
