Me go first:

  • Most printer: we all know …
  • Keurig: a coffee pod machine that use one-time pod. They once refuse to use third party pod with a chip.
  • Juicero: a luxury juicer that squeeze juice from repack pod (which you can squeeze by hand). The machine will only work with pre-pack pod. You cannot make the machine work with your own food or vegetable.

You know any ? Any product, startup, dead or alive.
