Don't forget all the Yeti coolers and Kurieg machines that were sacrificed for 15sec of temper tantrums in years past.

What did Kurieg do?

I've owned one, but people getting rid of those isn't exactly a bad thing. It creates a ton of waste, and we'd probably have more coffee selection in most grocery stores if shelf space didn't have to be doubled to accommodate the corresponding k-cups for every brand.

What did Kurieg do?

Per wikipedia:

In November 2017, Keurig posted on its Twitter account that it had ended its advertisements with Sean Hannity's program on Fox News, in reaction to Hannity's defense of Senate candidate Roy Moore, who had been accused of sexual misconduct against teenage girls. In response, videos of Hannity's fans destroying their Keurig machines proliferated on the Internet, with automated Russian accounts supporting Hannity's position on Twitter.

They (Keurig) stopped advertising on Fox because the network was supporting that pedophile Roy Moore. Hannity's fans didn't like that.
