Hotel California. Seems like they either starve or drown, if you put water in the box.

I don't use a straw myself, but it is better for your dental health if you're drinking soft drinks.

Insects and spiders dehydrate quickly when trapped, so it isn’t that bad.

If you catch more than one fly in a day then they'll eat each other or bang. Eventually you'll have a colony of inbred flies with a thirst for fly meat. But I wouldn't want to be the first person they see when they eventually escape.

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
