"Open your mouth to verify your age"

Not that different from "Drink a verification can to continue". Hilariously dystopian.



The best part is that this is going to work for about 5 days until someone develops a computer model of a face that can simulate the inside of the mouth. Then we have two problems!

Part of the point of the "verification can" story is that users were being forced into additional consumption (in multiple senses).
