Government administrations wanting to know the ingredients of how something is made isn’t exactly new.

Right, that’s what a swizzle stick is.

Counter point though, breaking it meant I didn’t even need straws…

Saw a video that showed using swizzle sticks jammed into the coin slots to release the lock and get free laundry.

I had bike spokes laying around and tried it. It worked, but actually broke the coin slots. Management reconfig’d to other slots, which I then broke.

Laundry was only 25 cents if you knew which slot to put a quart into.
