Hot water dispenser

manufacturer: Unknown

Check out this hot water dispenser I came accross in Hong Kong. It says "caution hot water". But the easiest way to burn your hand is by simply pressing the button. haha!

    Its a good looking maching just bad design in where they need to put the buttons.
    You could hold up the cup and press it.     TRANSLATE

Cheap Asian and off-shore products now that deminish the nature of our countries products - likely it's smothered in lead paint and made to last up to and including the last day of warranty. We need to get away from this non- sustainable asian crap that fills up our landfills and reduces us to being souls that search for the cheapest stuff around and ruins our local economy. I say not to cheap off-shore crap and we should tell manufacturers that we don't want this any more - quality at a price not cheap at a massive profit and purely non-environmental. Make a statement!
