1. They're standard pretzels with salt, right?
None of those "honey mustard" or "cool ranch, spam and kale" frankenflavors?

Dying for a glass of water.

Pop won't do the trick.

7. How long will it be with the same machine before it happens
that you put money in for the same item and nothing comes out until you put money in a second time?

:P

8. That's happened to me more than once.
This has only happened to for the first time today!

10. Winner
The machine at my office randomly says winner after a snack selection is made. You get the item AND your money back! It is amazing how winning 75 cents can brighten your day.

12. At an Interstate rest stop I once got 5 bags out of a vending machine for $1.
I took a gamble with 2 already being stuck. The machine pushed a new one out which stuck also but I shook the machine and thought I would get 3, but it pushed out another 2. I think that was my cheap thrill for this lifetime.

13. This one was actually a machine malfunction.
No stuck pretzels and I didn't have to shake the machine. The little corkscrewy thing just turned one too many times!

14. But do you know how many years I waited for that malfunction,
or how much money I lost in those machines? It's about time it came out on my side and I'll take it any way I can get it.

17. How many times have you put your money in and gotten nothing?
Is the house still winning?

18. You put in another 75 cents to pay for the one it accidentally dispensed, right?
Or are you stickin' it to the man?

Down with Big Pretzel!

thanks!
