In the upper left hand corner of the refrigerator section of Jerry’s side-by-side fridge and freezer there is an insignia magnet that appears to be a partial [German flag](http://www.google.com/images?q=German+Flag&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=LaEiTfb1JcSblgf_4emFDA&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=6&ved=0CEQQsAQwBQ&biw=1024&bih=580)- or at least it invokes the German flag in color. It appears there is also some text… What is this magnet and what does it say? ---

Hmm, not immediately sure - I’ll keep searching. Meanwhile here’s a picture of the fridge: [http://www.supermanofsteel.com/2007/06/28/supermanseinfeld-urban-legend/](http://www.supermanofsteel.com/2007/06/28/supermanseinfeld-urban-legend/). My initial suspicion is it’s something related to high-end autos. It reminds me a bit of the BMW “M” technology badge:[http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.autoxpat.com/shop/images/logo-bages/l/2487.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.autoxpat.com/shop/autoxpat-m-3.html&usg=\_\_24CjQXeYObr7R5UdYtQwH5fqchs=&h=360&w=540&sz=16&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=unQPurd2MKUzHM:&tbnh=128&tbnw=161&prev=/images%3Fq%3DBMW%2BM%2Bseries%2Bbadge%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1362%26bih%3D637%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=116&vpy=319&dur=78&hovh=183&hovw=275&tx=146&ty=103&ei=tKMiTd\_yFoGclgeQt83LCw&oei=tKMiTd\_yFoGclgeQt83LCw&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:7,s:0](http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.autoxpat.com/shop/images/logo-bages/l/2487.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.autoxpat.com/shop/autoxpat-m-3.html&usg=__24CjQXeYObr7R5UdYtQwH5fqchs=&h=360&w=540&sz=16&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=unQPurd2MKUzHM:&tbnh=128&tbnw=161&prev=/images%3Fq%3DBMW%2BM%2Bseries%2Bbadge%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1362%26bih%3D637%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=116&vpy=319&dur=78&hovh=183&hovw=275&tx=146&ty=103&ei=tKMiTd_yFoGclgeQt83LCw&oei=tKMiTd_yFoGclgeQt83LCw&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:7,s:0) I remember he had that poster of the airborne Porsche on his far wall to the left of the window for a few seasons, and he visits an auto club in the movie “Comedian” in his Porsche, I think. ---

JERRY: There’s more, the refrigerator. [Opens it] Deduct a minimum of two days of all expiration dates. [uses the umbrella to point to certain compartments in the refrigerator] No meat, no leftovers, no butter. [closes the refrigerator] And I cannot overstate this: no soft cheeses of any kind.

Not to mention, the location of the next door neighbor Martin. That door would presumably open into Jerry’s kitchen somewhere around the stove! :eek: 😃 ---

Yeah, what’s the deal with that? I remember thinking the episode where Jerry gets his kitchen remodeled, then has all the changes torn out becasue the result was too “intrusive” was strange - the only problem was one rather annoyingly-placed cabinet that coud easily have been removed by itself. ---

His apartment also looks triangle shaped and there’s no way his bedroom fits where it’s supposed to.
