What’s with the SoBe vending machines?

During the run-up to Munch’s Oddysee’s release, SoBe aided promotion by giving away a number of Oddworld-decorated goods (including waterbeds and a jet ski). Oddworld Inhabitants returned the favour by replacing a number of Health Up vendos with SoBe dispensers. This was not a business deal, and no money was ever exchanged.However, a number of fans felt OWI had sold out and refused to ever have anything to do with Oddworld again. Still others felt that the presence of an Earth product on Oddworld compromised the atmosphere and escapism of Oddworld. The SoBe machines were removed from the European release.
