Stuck in a vending machine: How a snack stop can end in tears

Hayden Kelly2026-06-26T17:05:00.000Z

bloody vending machines, I've seen people shake them to get stuff unstuck and nearly tip the whole thing over. some people just have no common sense 😂

lol yeah seen a few of those. one guy tried to rock it like a vending machine haka. didn't end well.

12 people a year? that's like... one person per region. classic nanny state media making a mountain out of a molehill.

but also it's just human nature to be a bit silly sometimes. we all have those moments 😅

i once got my arm stuck in one trying to reach a bag of chips. never again. the embarrassment was worse than the pain tbh

ffs, if you're dumb enough to climb into a machine you deserve what you get. natural selection at work right there.

aw poor things, but also kinda funny. remember that video of the guy dancing with the claw machine? iconic

let me guess, ACC is gonna raise levies again because of this? get stuffed.

worked in a warehouse with one of those big snack machines. maintenance guy told me they find everything from wallets to dead rats in there. it's a whole ecosystem.

yeah nah, this is just another excuse to ban stuff. next they'll say we need a license to buy a snickers.

unpopular opinion: the soft toy machines are rigged anyway. you're already getting ripped off, might as well not injure yourself over it.

James O’Brien2026-06-26T20:59:00.000Z

exactly, I've wasted $50 on those stupid claws. never again. but people still try and break the machine, it's madness.

Hayden Kelly2026-06-26T21:09:00.000Z

the real tragedy is the prices. $4 for a can of coke? that's the real crime here

Mason Young2026-06-26T21:47:00.000Z

coke is like $3.50 at the dairy down my road. vending machine markups are daylight robbery

cry me a river. just bring a water bottle like a normal person.
