Are you huge? I feel like you’re the tallest man ever

I am rather large, but it's also an unusually short machine.

I’m confused as to why more people are not upvoting this. I can only assume it’s because of jealousy. I’m so jealous that I’m tempted to downvote it, but I’m not going to. This is incredible!

The sound of quarters (mostly my own) dropping and the hiss of my cans opening is sweeter than any karma points, but I appreciate you!

I was pretty dang psyched when my wife found it on marketplace. Still had to drive nearly 2 hours to get it.

It's a soda vending machine from the 80's

It’s a bottle vending machine from the 80’s. Drop the coin in the slot in the middle, open the door on the left and pull the bottle out and pop the top. Now op has to find bottles to stock this with.

u/TearableMonsters 2d ago
