Are you turned on by trash? No, we’re not talking about your toxic ex. 😆 We’re talking about actual trash…
As absurd as this question sounds, “sexy” Swedish rubbish bins are making it a legitimate one. The city of Malmö installed two trash cans that make suggestive sounds and comments when litter is fed into their openings.
Because there’s nothing hotter than someone taking responsibility for their litter 😉
“Come back quickly and do that again,” the trash cans say when opened, as shown in one YouTube video. Other phrases like, “Oh, yeah, right there,” and “That was crazy good” are among the other responses they are programmed with, to encourage people to be responsible citizens and properly dispose of rubbish.
It has been described by Marie Persson, section chief of Malmö’s roads department, as “a positive reinforcement to people who do the right thing, by giving them a laugh,” according to Swedish newspaper, Sydsvenskan, as quoted by The Local. The voice heard from the two bins on the Davidshallsbron Bridge apparently belongs to someone famous – but they don’t want their identity revealed.
Malmö bought 18 “advanced” bins back in 2018, but these two are the first to come with the sexy voice option. And, just a week after the bins were installed, new ones have been installed with a male voice… we wonder which will be more effective? 😂
