         8 . The refrigerator crisper of  claim 6  wherein the rearwardly extending bottom panel includes an upwardly extending rearward wall for snap fitting the trim piece to the body.  
     
     
         9 . The refrigerator of  claim 6  wherein at least one of the rearwardly extending side panels includes an inwardly extending rearward wall for snap fitting the trim piece to the body.  
     
     
         10 . The refrigerator crisper of  claim 6  wherein the rearwardly extending top panel includes a downwardly extending rearward wall and the rearwardly extending bottom panel includes an upwardly extending rearward way for snap fitting the trim piece to the body.  
     
     
         11 . A snap fit trim for connecting to a refrigerator crisper, comprising: 
 a front surface having an aperture therein;    a top panel operatively connected to the front surface and extending rearwardly therefrom;    a bottom panel operatively connected to the front surface and extending rearwardly therefrom;    a first side panel and an opposite second side panel operatively connected to the front surface and extending rearwardly therefrom; and    an inwardly extending wall connected to a rearward portion of one of the panels for snap fitting to a refrigerator crisper.    
     
     
         12 . The snap fit trim of  claim 11  wherein the snap fit trim is molded.  
     
     
         13 . The snap fit trim of  claim 11  wherein the aperture is sized thus that at least half of a refrigerator crisper front wall is uncovered by the front surface.  
     
     
         14 . The snap fit trim of  claim 13  wherein the refrigerator crisper front wall is transparent such that contents of the refrigerator crisper are viewable through the aperture and the crisper front wall.  
     
     
         15 . The snap fit trim of  claim 11  wherein the top panel is connected to the inwardly extending wall.  
     
     
         16 . The snap fit trim of  claim 11  wherein the bottom panel is connected to the inwardly extending wall.
