Did it keep track of when the milk spoiled? That would be damn handy. I hate when I dump milk on my oatmeal and it curdles.
It was all based on barcodes and I no longer can recall how “rich” they grew the programming (it was all created in-house). The POC behind it was to incorporate a sufficient degree of functionality combined with a bit of slight~of~hand to allow for the suspension of disbelief.
You’re right - it would be a good feature. Dhimmicrats would probably turn it into a scold... “Drink your milk!”
