Thanks, Ruiner of Free Stuff
According to the OP’s story, there was once a cool Coca-Cola factory that allowed its employees to take home dropped bottles of Coke. That was pretty nice of them, considering they could have probably just let the bottles sit for a few hours before boxing and selling them. But as soon as people learned of this factory policy, they abused it to death.
Workers would intentionally drop bottles of Coke, just to take them home and share with their families. Because of their selfishness, nobody got to drink free Coke anymore. Now, everyone was stuck drinking water. What kind of world is that?
