✨VENDING MACHINE THAT "SOLD" DIVORCE PAPERS IN THE US IN LATE 19TH CENTURY 😱💔🤖✨
Hello my loves! 🙋♀️🙋♂️ Today I just "dug up" an extremely interesting fun fact about the history of divorce and vending machines! 😲💍🤖 Turns out in the late 1800s, residents of Corinne, Utah could buy divorce papers from a vending machine for just $2.50! 😱💸 Talk about convenience! 😆👍
According to sources, this "automatic divorce" machine 🤖💔 was placed in Corinne, a small town in Utah in the late 19th century. Just insert $2.50 in coins into the machine and pull the lever, couples who were tired of each other 😒💔 would receive a complete, legal set of divorce papers, just fill in the names and done! 😲📜 The papers had the name of a local law firm pre-printed on them. 👨⚖️👩⚖️ The instructions on the machine said: "Pull the lever and take the papers to the law office, they will fill in the full names and witness" 😅🖋️
Wow, the divorce procedure in Utah back then was really simple and quick! 😮💨 No need to go through many cumbersome procedures like today. Just put money in the machine and you can "buy" your freedom! 😎🔓 But I wonder how many couples actually used this "express divorce" service 🚅💔? 🤔
This is truly proof of the creativity and convenience of vending machines since ancient times! 🤖👴👵 Besides selling things like candy and drinks, turns out vending machines could also "sell" legal services like divorce papers! 😲⚖️ What a bold and humorous business idea! 😂💡
But this "automatic divorce" service probably wasn't too popular, as it went against traditional notions of marriage at the time. 😅💒 Most states in the US in the late 19th century still had quite strict regulations on divorce conditions, requiring proof of fault by one party such as adultery or abuse. 😓💔 Divorce was also often stigmatized, especially for women. 🙍♀️👎 So the divorce paper vending machine was likely just a short-lived joke by some bold folks in Utah. 😜🤪
Anyway, this is still an interesting and humorous fact about the history of divorce as well as vending machines! 😄🤖 It shows that humans always have unique ideas, sometimes a bit "crazy", to solve life's problems, even marriage and family matters! 🤪💑
