In the original draft of Back To The Future, the Delorean was a fridge
In the original draft of Back To The Future, the time machine was a laser device that gets attached to a refrigerator, and taken to the Nevada desert test site for the atomic bomb. The fridge gets strapped to the back of a truck and then is driven into the explosion to harness it’s power for time travel. Marty climbs into the fridge as the truck barrels down to the explosion.
The whole idea was scratched by Steven Spielberg because he was scared that kids would start climbing into refrigerators and getting trapped inside by trying to time travel themselves. The fridge was eventually replaced by the Delorean.
Answer :
Lobster has a long culinary history. It's always been a plentiful food, and it did not achieve popularity until the mid-19th century. This was when New Yorkers and Bostonians developed a taste for it, and the industry flourished. Before that, it was fed to slaves or lower members of society, and it was considered a mark of being poor.
This all changed once roads and highways were built, and it was possible to transport fresh lobster to cities without access to the ocean. When this happen, the demand for fresh lobster made it become a delicacy around the US and the world. What a change in a few years! Lobster went from being the lowest of the food food-chain (!) thought only to be good as bait or fertilizer to being one of the most expensive plates on the menu!

The original Victorian home of the Munster family was at 1313 Mockingbird Lane in the fictional Mockingbird Heights. The town's location is not specified in the series, but in later incarnations is described as a small town outside of Los Angeles, California. The exterior shots were filmed on the Universal Studios backlot. The house was built in 1946 for the movie So Goes My Love. It was then put into storage for several years. Sometime in the 1950s, it was assembled with other homes on the back lot to create "River Road." Until production of The Munsters in 1964, the house could be seen as a backdrop on many shows, including Leave It to Beaver. It was remodeled and featured on Desperate Housewives and located on Colonial Street in the backlot (which has now been officially dubbed "Wisteria Lane" by the studio). It was also the home of the family in Shirley (ABC, 1979–80) and has appeared in other TV shows such as Coach
That is correct for the original Munster house, but the house in the picture is not the original Munster House as given away by the kids bikes and van in front.
It is a faithful reproduction built as their family home by Charles and Sandra McKee at 1313 Mockingird Lane, Waxahachie, Texas.
