Wow, this is utterly useless, expensive, and SHINY!

...I've seen the most incredibly useless expensive product I've ever wanted....

This serves absolutely no good purpose. None. It's utterly worthless to my life or anyone's life. And oh my God I want one. I won't get one unless I win the lottery or sell a bestselling novel and get lots of money to burn, but man, how can you not want it?

"The SkyBox by Maytag brings the concession stand right to the living room, so you can savor the excitement of punching a soda machine without having to feed it coins or dollar bills."

The excitement. Of punching. A soda machine.

What the hell are these people on?

That aside, yeah: the more I look at it, the more I start wondering what I'd have to move in order to fit it in the living room...

I know the feeling. Only the fact of living in an apartment stops me wanting one right now. If I ever have a mansion, though, I'm so there.

Hmm...

I'll buck the trend. It's a neat device, but has zero appeal to me, even if I had more disposable income than I knew what to do with. Not sure why...

Errr...

Maybe I'm the weird one here, but I *have* a soda machine in the living room. (At least, my parent's living room, until I get around to moving it.) A vintage nickel coke machine. Still works (when you can find soda in 12oz. glass bottles, mind you).

Does this mean I've officially passed over into the ring of hell meant for those who indulge in conspicious consumption without realizing it?

At least I'll have something cool to drink.
