    Wow. Not even a tasteful design, just turning the fridge into a full fledged highway billboard. Disgusting.

      At least it’s static. They could’ve done a constant animation for maximal annoyance while you’re trying to focus on cutting onions.

        I’m sure it’s in the pipeline, with sounds. Gonna have our appliances acting like gas pumps do.

        Have you used one of those gas pumps with a screen recently? That’s definitely where it’s going.

          No, those aren’t a thing where I live thankfully, although that would probably cause me to switch petrol stations if they started doing this (or finally buy an electric car so I can have the ads on a giant screen while I’m driving /s).

            The other day I had to wait for the ad video to stop playing before I could press “Yes” to have it print a receipt. I won’t be going back to that location.

          gas station near me had those about 5 years or so ago. I’m not sure if they still have them or not, but volume pumped up to a crazy level too.
