Speaking of freezer burn...
I know this is a bit OT, but I thought I'd share.
My sister once worked in a local lab, and one day, she and a coworker were
in the lab's freezer doing inventory. (Mind you, this is during the summer.)
When they emerged, her coworker noticed my sister got freezer burn on her
face.
