      So the bucket was sold in other places? I thought it was just a gimmick from the movie theaters in mexico to boost sales.

    Meh, I’m sure they’re wiping their tears with all the money they got from selling an overpriced popcorn bucket because it went viral. If they really wanted something more tame, they could’ve used the pain box instead.

    Why don’t companies have someone in product development who’s entire job is to point out less than desirable ways people will use their products, or protect against rule 34 or the like? The internet has been around long enough that it shouldn’t have been a surprise that there were people who wanted to fuck a plastic lamprey eel. How as this even surprising?

        They made a movie about that once with Tom Hanks. Guess these companies never watched it 😏

      Because that employee would be by far the most overworked one in most companies?

      Or maybe just because most companies don’t care as long as you keep giving them money without costing them any 🤷

    I think this is the funniest thing I’ve read all year, "driving people to go crazy with demand for the shai-hulussy-shaped vessel.

      I’ve seen eggdrop bots, all Dune inspired, fester in an irc room for years and never got anythin close to shai-hulussy. AI will never replace humans.
