My roommate got one for Christmas and I love it but on my own I would not have paid for this when I can get a coffee maker for literally $2 at Goodwill

Gotta love those 'hacks' that are all "Are you such an alcoholic that you absolutely must take beer or vodka to every single event or get the shakes? Here's how you can hide the booze!"

Like, dude, it's just a sporting event. If you need a beer to enjoy it then maybe watch from home where you can get drunk and pass out by yourself.

The giant stack of disposable cups behind the coffeemaker suggests that this Keurig is not owned by the person making the ramen, which in turn suggests that other methods of acquiring boiling water might not have been available.

Yeah, my wife got two for free, one from a raffle and another from our wedding shower. She keeps one at home and one at her office job. It's convenient when you just need a cup of really hot water but don't want to take the time to boil water on the stove. Not worth the money, but if you have one, why not use it?

Back about 12 years ago, Australia aired a TV series called Life Support. The basic premise was mocking lifestyle television shows in general, including dispensing handy hints on improving your daily life. Such advice included switching labels on wine bottles to prevent others drinking it at dinner parties, dressing up as a chef so you could walk around with knives or voluntarily electrocuting yourself at clubs so you can 'dance'.

Sadly there's not a huge amount on Youtube anymore, but there's some here and there:

Also it looks like they didn't get all the hair, and what they did get isn't evenly pulled back so the whole thing looks sloppy.

I can vouch for this, my old office had a Keurig but no other source of hot water so I'd use it to make tea.

Can't imagine being so lazy you can't boil water at home, though.

And this technique doesn't get all the hair into a ponytail and the hair it does get it doesn't get evenly, so it looks all sloppy. The kid probably redid the ponytail herself as soon as the camera was turned off.

Assuming you have a Keurig that's turned on 24/7 anyways what difference does it make?

Hatters gonna hat.
I think the most important thing is that of course you can get hot water out of a single-serve coffee machine. Its the same as if someone made a lifehack: "Need near-boiling water for something? Use the hot water tap on your water cooler! Don't have a water cooler? Use on-demand hot water tap you installed on your sink!" Its using an appliance for the exact purpose it was built.

The forks are usually about as close to the oreos as the napkins are! We can go round and round about this all day, I'm just saying try it sometime

edit: it also allows for more effective dunking in narrow cups

No, you fool, it's a mobile bread-warming device. Pee in the bottle and wrap the bread around the bottle to make your sandwich nice and toasty. Makes the butter really soft and lavish.

Seriously. I never get fries at McDick's for that reason. I wanted some a few weeks back (because I thought nuggets wouldn't be filling enough) and I asked for them to downsize them from the medium that usually comes in the combo to a small. Nope, can't do that. So I got the medium. Barely made it through half of it before my lips were dried out. I have no idea how anyone can eat a large or extra-large without their tongue shrivelling.

e: obviously there's just as much sodium in their burgers and nuggets and whatever. It's just not as... I dunno, offensive. I don't avoid the fries for health reasons; if that was the case I wouldn't eat fast-food at all.

I put more salt (and pepper) on fast food fries :geno:

It's more like certain places like ballparks and concerts want to charge you 47 dollars for a beer so there's a cottage industry in sneaking alcohol to get around it.
