The TV commercial previewed a show promising to reveal the greatest American of all time.
I asked my brainy husband: "So who do you think it should be?"
Without a pause, he replied: "Thomas Edison. And what is the greatest invention?
Without a pause, I answered: "Refrigeration."
"I told you that, didn't I?"
"Yup!"

Personally, the ionic flat iron has revolutionized my wavy hair existence.
And thanks to Edison for electrifying this American's life.

Refrigeration only SLIGHTLY edges out air conditioning, in my opinion. However, I'm guessing that the AC couldn't have been developed without refrigeration, so just forget I mentioned anything.

No, wait -- I'm gonna try again --

I second Craig's motion that refrigeration is the greatest invention ever. As long as that means the AC came as a direct result. Otherwise, I change my answer.
