It also doesn't seem to mention vending machines, but specialized shops or online selling. It's still gross, but it's also not unthinkable that this could happen in western countries. There was for instance an English internet personality who sold her used bath water a few years ago.

There is absolutely a network that sells all sorts of used underwear, condoms, you name it, in ‘the west’

no doubt, but that was one person, not a pattern of behaviour by the masses

  There is literally a picture of a vending machine in the article
  
  True. But that picture is like those AI videos on youtube today where the thumbnail doesn't show up in the video. According to this article, those vending machines were banned in 2004 and the trade in used panties was driven to specialized shops.
  
  Edit:
  
  that was one person, not a pattern of behaviour by the masses
  Does this count?

    Dude ok, I’m going to post some corrections, but you’re too annoying.

    It’s wikipedia. The photo is from 2009, and it’s uploaded 2015. It’s a real thing, it isn’t AI, not everything is fake news, things happen.
    
    Does this count?
    
    That’s not bathwater, it’s panties.

    At this point you should just tell us what message you're trying to convey, and then we can simply say "you're right" and be done with it.
