You approach a drink vending machine... Cost of drinks in the machine is $1.00 for each drink... You put in $1.00 and make your selection... Two drinks fall out... What would you do?

When the second drink falls from the vending machine...

As we wait tangent: Rather than only 1 extra drink falling; what if 40 extra drinks fell? What would you do? Would you take all forty? Yes? No? What?

Then it is no longer immaterial to the company and would be worth their time to fix the issue. As such, I would try to contact them to collect their product. (Though really, that's like the entire coke machine! That would be quite a sight).
Unless indicated otherwise what I say is opinion. (Kudos to Zzyzx for this signature).

Moderately interesting side-note: The greatest number of "extras" that I have personally seen fall ... is 36. The event was quite entertaining for all who witnessed the purge.

Thanks Chaos.

Wow...someone should have recorded it. Would make a great youtube video or some such.

This is a different question. I'd call the contact number.

Chaos, that is the event that this thread is based upon. It happened in the back of an Audio/Video store that I worked for. We had a similar discussion to that which is in this thread. If we could have gotten a video camera up and working quick enough, we could have caught it - but everyone was just mesmerized by the event.

The recent Coke "Happiness Machine" video is what actually sparked the memory of the event and hence this thread. The extra drink inspires immediate "sharing". You may have already seen it, but it is quite cool.

Thank you McCulloch.

Four of four snatch the single extra drink. Two of two call the vendor after a mass dump.

How about others. I can see you in the views - why not venture a post? What would you do when the extra product falls?[/url]
