“Ugh, this news clip is depressing. Fuck Coke for making me think about other countries, I’m just gonna grab a Pepsi instead. Their door ads are funny.”
Cooler Screens says 90% of consumers it has surveyed prefer its digital screens to traditional fridges
Do you prefer to look at digital screens?
YES -> SKIP AD
NO -> WATCH AD, FREE TESTICLE SHOCKWe discovered a sampling error after an audit. The 10% NO respondents was just one guy who spent 8000 dollars on iced tea that day.
Pretty soon all of these will display a Windows login screen or bash script with an error and the Walgreens minimum wage employees will have to write post-it notes about what’s in the fridge
The manufacturer going out of business and not supporting them would be hilarious

“This is the future of retail and shopping,” Avakian said.
the main reason this tech can proliferate is that the people who decide to insert ads into every area of our visual field are rarely within striking distance of the common person. these assholes all have personal shoppers/assistants, live behind walls, and we don’t know what they look like. honestly, the only thing cool about any AR tech would be its hijacking by culture jamming leftists to identify/add callouts to our enemies (secret police/undercover cops, informants, ultra high net worth individuals, etc).
also, there’s a great dystopian visual gag here, where it’s like post apocalyptic and some plucky hero scavenger stumbles across a display fridge running on solar power with bottled water in it that is running at like 16K so it looks real and shifts with perspective, only for him to open the door and like it’s empty or has a bunch of skulls in it and it’s a trap set by cannibals or baddies.
Bill Hicks continues to have the only moral and correct take on advertising and marketers.
“Sorry, you simply buying something doesn’t create enough value for our shareholders.”
What a fucking crock of shit. Absolutely no respect for anyone’s time or dignity. Even being a good little consumer isn’t enough anymore, you have to subject yourself to degradation and psychological manipulation even to participate in the basic market activities required of you to exist.
Every door like this is an assault on human decency and smashing them in with a hammer is a moral act.
Neuralink 1,000% is going to be used to put ads in people’s brains both awake and asleep.
Good on them. They were on the verge of bankruptcy with all the theft going on all the time. Now they have the money to put screens on coolers! Good to see them do better and crime on the decline.
It’s wild how we made cyberpunk dystopias real in the cringest way possible

If I ever find one of them I’m opening every one to check the inside and then making no effort to close it.
My local Kroger did this, and it’s gonna turn me into the Unabomber, I stg
