SamsungSamsung's refrigerator features a built-in SodaStream sparkling water dispenser.
Does your refrigerator have a water dispenser? Mine sure doesn’t. I had to install a filtration system underneath our sink like a common heathen! None of that matters now, though, since I’d be kicking myself if I’d bought a fridge with a regular water dispenser.
Why? Because this exists.
Samsung and bubbly-water-making company SodaStream have partnered to build a 36-inch refrigerator with “the industry’s first-ever automatic sparkling water dispenser,” according to a joint press release.

In "Doomsday Machine," the Enterprise finds another Federation starship, the Constellation, badly damaged and with only one surviving crew member: Commodore Matt Decker. He explains that the Constellation stumbled upon a miles-long machine that "eats" other starships (and basically anything in its path) as fuel; his crew eventually perished after he ordered his ship to attack. The episode touches on interesting questions about leadership, as well as on weapons of mass destruction and nuclear weapons.
