With so much debate worldwide over the right way to stand or sit during the National Anthem, a Kiwi has posted a friendly reminder on Reddit that, in New Zealand, even the washing machine belts out the national tune.
A Reddit user posted a video of his Fisher & Paykel
washing machine playing the national anthem, along with a drawing of the Kiwi flag.
When someone criticised his "sh****" flag, he responded that the country had a referendum and that was the final choice.
A viral social media video first revealed Fisher and Paykel's patriotic vein in 2013, when a woman uploaded footage of her washing machine to YouTube, with instructions on how to make it play the anthem.
At the time, the whiteware manufacturer revealed the machines had been doing that for 20 years, as engineers had programmed the anthem for demonstration purposes.
