What would happen if a freezer full of free drinks was left unattended on a busy street in the scorching heat?
As of Sunday, five days after the "friendly freezer" appeared near Caoyang Road metro station in Shanghai's Putuo district, the refrigerator had never run empty. It has been restocked so many times that some of the fresh supplies have had to be left out on the sidewalk where it stands.
The freezer, nicknamed "city superman depot", is an initiative launched by Cainiao, e-commerce company Alibaba's logistics arm, in tribute to and to serve outdoor workers, and it relies on the public to contribute supplies.
