I remember them. I don't think I ever used one as I thought they were gross. I think I saw them at the rest stop bathrooms before they started to remodel the rest stops.
One reason I use paper towels, or one of the napkins I've stashed in my bag to open the door, THEN throw it away.They are pretty awful, but at least people were most likely using them after they washed their hands, unlike the door handle on the way out....
Yes, I remember soda machines that dispensed into disposable paper cups. Coffee machines too.I do remember the soda vending machines that filled a paper cup for you. They were really before my time, but the old roller-skating rink had a few old-style vending machines in their snack bar area. I really only ever saw it there. You didn't have to share the cup though - gross! It would drop a fresh cup, some ice, then fill with soda, all automatically. I want to say it was kinda like this one:

My old barber shop also had an old bottle vending maching witht he door like this:

They were SUPPOSED to be removed and either laundered or replaced entirely on a regular basis. But who knows how often that happened.I remember them and using them sparingly. Now does anyone know, did they get removed and laundered or thrown out for a new one? Luckily I never worked in a place that had one but I bet somebody knows.
I've seen people who just run their hands under the water and call that "washed". Still dirty, and the dirt rubbed off on the towel since it was now wet. Had to wonder what else was not removed by just making their hands wet.Everyone's hands were just washed, so I don't know exactly what would be gross about it.
My understanding is that a good percentage of men don’t wash at all after using the restroom.I've seen people who just run their hands under the water and call that "washed". Still dirty, and the dirt rubbed off on the towel since it was now wet. Had to wonder what else was no removed by just making their hands wet.

https://health.clevelandclinic.org/the-dirty-truth-about-hand-dryersThis is why I think those turbo Dyson air dryers are even worse. They are literally turbo blowing whatever is on someone's hands into the air and onto anyone nearby.
There should be a warning to stay 6 ft away from someone while they are turbo drying their hands.![]()
Likewise here, TV. Seems they both quite frequently had these. And as said several times, when they were stuck, that was the most frustrating. Then you had yo wipe your hands on your shirt and pants.I remember those, they were popular in restrooms at gas stations and restaurants for some reason as I recall.
Disney World used the powdered soap until the early 2000s. I think they got rid of it after the anthrax scare.Wow! I grew up in the 80's and had no idea what you were even talking about until I saw the picture! I've never seen/heard of such a thing. I remember the powder soap in elementary school (which we would all waste absurdly) but we certainly didn't have these hand dryers. haha, come to think of it, we all just "air dried" our hands!
