WASHINGTON (AP) -- The virtual baked beans were falling fast. The unopened can had to go somewhere, but where? Not the simulated freezer.
"This food wouldn't spoil in that location," the computer-generated voice said. "But the quality of food could be affected, or you might be using space in your freezer unnecessarily."
