100 Grand

Not much in the way of updates the last month and a half.

Not much new in the Vending world. Sure, the tyranny of O'Brien's beefsticks has been defeated. But lately we've felt like Batman at the end of "Batman Forever". Evil is defeated. He's happy just to loaf around in Wayne Manor sippin' on gin and juice. Alfred telling him stories of skirt chasing in old Londontown. That's how I always imagined it...

But today the 100 thousand dollar bar rekindled my spirits.

It is sort of like eating a nestle crunch someone rolled around in Twix caramel. And I'm all right with that.

I miss you too son.

No More Beefsticks!!!!!!!!

After several months the day we've all been waiting for has finally arrived. The vending machine is now completely depleted of beefsticks and they have not been refilled.

Skittles - The Insane Cousin of M & M's.

What a day.

Its been several days. Vending has gone haywire. In spite of my request for Payday in exchnage for O'Brien's beef sticks, the beef sitcks were traded for Skittles. Horrible. Not the Skittles, they are all right by me, the fact that my request was not honored. I have decided I will eat only Payday candybars for the rest of my life. Starting now.

Its been years since I've had the pleasure of tasting the rainbow. I forgot how good these things were. Nothing like Horse parts mixed with sugar and food coloring. Delicious.

Also, they come in 5 distinct flavors. I just made myself an Orange-Lime cocktail. Wonderful.

Really, Skittles take all of the good things about good jelly beans and subtract all the bad things and put it in an M & M style shell. Amazing.

Also, for a 2.17 oz bag, it is full. Very full.

I want some Spree.

Stacy's Parmesan Garlic & Herb Pita Chips

Sick sick Friday.

I broke code today and dialed the vending company to request Payday.

Additionally, O'Brien's Beef Sticks have taken over my floor. They are now in the second row. scary.

Pita Chips. Back again. I love them, even though the bag is 74% air. I call that the B/A.P. (Bag/Air Percentage). In a normal snack chip the bag is only around 57% air. Which means these pita chips have a substantially higher B/A.P. Are they worth it? Is this a vending machine blog?

They go great with Diet Coke. Its like they were meant to be together. True love. When eating them together I refer to the Pita Chips as Romeo and the Diet Coke as Juliet. Unfortunately, lately the vending machine has gotten all Capulet on my steez and made it nearly impossible to unite these young lovers. They are together now, in harmony, in a futile tastebud party. They are not meant to be together permanantly, as one comes in an air tight bag and the other in an aluminum can.

And Trans Fat Free!!

Introduction

Welcome to the future.

And by future I mean present.

This is a vending machine. For 50 cents it gives you a reason to keep going.

There are many types of vending machines. The ones here are similar but not quite as new as this one (notice the Dorito bag in this vending machine, which leads me to believe it is from the '89-'94 era).

50 cents buys you something. O'Brien's Beef Sticks, Pita Chips, Candy Bars, Oysters...

Allow me to chronicle the world of vending as I know it.

Also, the image to the left was completely stolen from another blog, so if it disappears, whatever.

This is snacking.

This is OUTBREAK!!!!
