The coolest thing I remember getting from a vending machine was beer. I was 18 fresh out of boot camp at parris island. I was in millington tennessee. I had talked a "girlfriend" of mine into driving the 12 hours to spend a 96 hour weekend with me. While checking her into the temporary lodging facility I spotted an odd looking vending machine. Basically an older standard can drink machine, but on each button was hand written on a white sticker bud, bud light, mgd and so forth. They were one dollar each that was a lot in 1996 to me anyway. But still cool none the less. I bought one then got the "girlfriend" who was 23 or 24 to get us some real booze.

Bishopmarine,

Yeah,I can relate to that story. During my first two years in Okinawa, Japan the vending machines in the barracks always had soda, cigarettes, and beer. I thought it was pretty funny you could get a Budweiser or Coors for .50 back then any time of the day. :D

and no rude employees! :mrgreen:

Back in the eighties when I still drove OTR; I was at Molsen Golden in Montreal, they had recycling vending machines. You would put an aluminum can in and out dropped a nickel. Pretty neat idea. I have never seen them before or after that.

Hi,
some 30 years ago ( :? !) when I visited the family in Paris, near their place there was a recycling vending machine for the wine and soda bottles. As a kid, I used to look everywhere for empty bottles with my little brother and we were making enough money to buy some candy, Coke, cinema tickets whenever we wanted.
AAh, good ol'time ... :roll:

just for it to go all quiet.

still it`s par for the course . who cares.
