Vending machines are big part of my life, I like when you reach into the vending machine to grab your candy bar and that flap goes up to block you from reaching up, that's a good invention, before that it was hard times for the vending machine owners, 'What candy bar are you getting?', 'That one, and every one on the bottom row!'
