a range of emotions

i went down to the vending machine today to get a soda, and something to snack on while i worked. i put in my change for my bag of candy, and the little metal spiral stops short of my candy falling down. a slight grunt of disappointment escapes my throat. then, magically, the spiral starts turning again, and not only does my bag of candy fall, but another bag of candy falls. giving me two for the price of one. also, during my search for vending machines, i came across a statistic that over 50 people have been killed in the last 28 years since vending machines have been around (1978). that's almost 2 people a year. death by vending machine - that's rough.i know that this second picture is of a japanese vending machine, but i just loved that it was an egg vending machine. that's right, it despenses brightly colored eggs. how cute.

how does "death by vending machine" actually work? i'm assuming they stick they're arm in to get some candy that didn't come out all the way and the machine topples over on them. that would be kinda a sad way to go...

no, it goes mostly someone is tipping the vending machine, i assume either for fun or to get a food item that was not released, and then the machine topples over.
