Holy cow, Fjorab

That must've been a bit weird to find out.
However, I must comment on the cost of your soft drink rather than the admitted sombreness of death because I'm just that petty.
85 cents for a can of drink?! THAT THE HECK? No wonder Americans are so fat

(OK, we Australians have actually recently become the fattest, and we all know I'm doing my part what with my BMI hovering on the edge of underweight)
At my uni in Australia (where the drinks are relatively cheap), a 375ml (~12.7 oz) can is $1.80 (US 1.2), and a 600ml (~ 1 pint,20.3 oz) bottle is $2.80 (US 1.86).
And our vending machines never give out free drinks

. A girl I know once bought a packet of chips and the DAMN THING GOT STUCK, so I bought a chocolate bar to hit it and hopefully make it fall down into the delivery chute, and the CHOCOLATE BAR LANDED ON TOP OF THE CHIPS.
Whoever dislodged that would've been very lucky. And I hate them for it.
Also, the Computer Science Students Club which I'm president of sells the 375ml cans for $1 because we're just that awesome
And perhaps the guy keeps jacking up the prices because his machine keeps dispensing two cans?
And whilst I'm making this post needlessly long, the University Computer Club has an
INTERNET snack machine (the oldest in the world, but the 2nd to ever be made). I'm 25km from uni at the moment and if I wanted to make a coke come out of the machine, I could! Once a friend and me were talking on the internets, he asked me to pick something up for him, and to thank me he dispensed me a coke FROM THE COMFORT OF HIS OWN HOME.
