I had someone try to sucker me into one years ago. I didn't take the bait. It seemed a bit shady.

"I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential.

I'd like to see a vending machine that sells vending machines. It'd have to be real in' big."

How so pistol pete?

First of all, they weren't real full scale vending machines. They were these small, niche type things that had a combo of food and beverages (setup like a double decker washer/dryer). Secondly, the target audience were small offices or places that couldn't house full size vending machines. Although I would buy, place and stock the machines, the guy who would have gotten me in would have received a percentage of the profits. It smelled like the Amway of vending machines. Obviously this experience cannot be compared to guys with the real vending machine businesses, so I really have nothing to add on that front. I'm sure if you can get the machines into high traffic areas or lunch rooms at large businesses, they probably earn a good penny.
