Vending machine roulette? I love surprises! I bought from the Something Store online. You send them ten bucks, they send you something.
I would love this vending machine. Put in a few coins and it dispenses something. At least you know it's a drink, but since it comes in a generic package, you don't know the flavour until you give it a taste.
Anything and Whatever are the names of the soft drinks that were created in Singapore. It definitely illustrates that the need for sugar water is sometimes overpowering enough that the artificial flavour just doesn't matter.
BTW: for my ten bucks, I got sunglasses. For a guy that wears quint-focals it was a downer.
