Dispenses at only 8oz/min so you have to keep clicking ads?

I’d unplug that thing on general principle.

Make sure to unscrew the water hose from the back and hang it on the machine so people can still get water!

They inflict this shit on people, yet if you destroy the brainwashing machine, somehow you're the one considered a criminal.

Next they'll require eye contact to continue dispensing.

It's soda stream. Top10 on the boycott list. Their shit straight up comes from the illegal settlements in the west bank.

Everything is being made shittier and they don't even pretend like airport experience ain't exploitation

I don't know, if I was in Philadelphia I'd probably deserve to be punished too.
