Beer Machine Only Dispenses Beers To Canadians

Dillon Cheverere11 years ago

So there’s this beer vending machine in Canada’s Olympic House in Sochi that will only dispense a beer when a valid Canadian passport is scanned.

I’m not saying American bobsledder Johnny Quinn is going to corner some unsuspecting Canadian figure skater and rough him up for the use of his passport, but he’s at least thinking about cornering some unsuspecting Canadian figure skater and roughing him up for the use of his passport. And if he doesn’t do it, someone else will.

From Time World:

Canadians love their beer so much that beer company Molson Canadian made a vending machine that made sure nationals could get a free brew at any moment, just as long as they have their passports. Also spotted last year in London and Brussels, the beer fridge works by taking a photo of people’s passports to verify their authenticity, then doling out a cold brew.

It’s cool and everything, but it’s just wrong.
