A, “chatty” dustbin at Hong Kong Disneyland has taken social media by storm, charming visitors with its engaging personality while promoting proper waste disposal. A video of the interactive trash bin, shared on Instagram by user @luckystarry_hung, showcases the dustbin theatrically begging for garbage and amusing visitors with its animated antics.

The video captures the bin moving around and exclaiming, "I want to eat garbage! Is there really none? Aaaah! The garbage is gone!" Its humorous and exaggerated cries have drawn attention for their creative approach to waste management. When someone tossed trash into the bin, it responded enthusiastically, "Ah, there it is. Yum yum yum!" The amusing interaction has made the bin a source of entertainment for park-goers, in addition to serving its practical purpose.

The Instagram post, captioned "It's so lively! I think I could talk to it all day," quickly went viral, sparking conversations about the innovative use of technology to engage the public. Many commenters praised the clever idea, with one user remarking, "Just because of that cry, I will buy and put the trash," while another humorously noted, "Better social skills than me!"

Questions about the bin’s technology also surfaced, with a user asking, "Is it just programmed to talk like that, or is someone talking through a mic while remote-controlling it?"
