The Vending Machine

For years, this vending machine was harvested easily with a special coat hanger bent in just the right shape, with a little soda-sized loop at the top. You could go in through the bottom and push aside the flaps, and voila: bring enough snacks back to Pool so that there's enough for everybody (and of course everybody wants some!)

The coat hanger became known as "The Tool," and it was stored for years in the bottom cabinet of the defunct copier now known as the Baby Machine (to your left).

Not only was it extremely easy to take bottles out of the vending machine, it was also easy to put them back in. One Risleyite filled Snapple bottles with a yellow liquid and printed up special "Urine" lables. Needless to say, they were a hit. Until the newspapers got wind of it...

Also, in later years it was discovered that, instead of going in through the bottom, you could empty the top rows by giving the machine a C-section (pictured here).
