Baron Von Snackington Invents Vending Machine That Dispenses Compliments Instead of Snacks
'You look great today,' the machine says. 'Now pay $5 for emotional validation.'
Baron Von Snackington has invented the 'Emotional Support Vending Machine,' which dispenses compliments instead of chips. 'Insert $5,' the machine says. 'You're doing great. Also, your hair looks nice.' Users report feeling 'briefly validated' and 'still hungry.' 'It told me I was worthy of love,' one user said, 'but I wanted a granola bar.' Von Snackington is now developing a 'self-esteem soda machine.'
