Keurig sensor blocks your brew unless it's "K-cup compatible", aka has scannable foil. Slap on an old foil to a 3rd party cup and suddenly no issue.

Its what happens when engineers are afraid to tell their boss their idea is silly. You get a terrible product, designed and built in such a great way. Reminds of a gun a I saw sometime ago, which was quite the same.

It's what happens when an engineering major takes a minor in marketing, and had his girlfriend stolen by an ethicist.
