*puts in coins and pushes button for Crystal Bepis, gets diet root beer*
*puts in coins and pushes button for Bepis this time, somehow receive trail mix, not in bag*
*Accidentally put in too much money, return button doesn’t work. Push any soda button, nothing happens. Next guy gets two sodas he actually pushed the button for.*
This feels like a borked version of SCP-294
It’s not an SCP. It’s just a…vending machine from 1985. That’s how they all worked.
I once found a vending machine where I could pay for skittles, it wouldn’t give them to me, I’d get a refund, then I’d pay for them again and get TWO SKITTLES. I keep that location to myself but it was a godsend.
Between that and the killer soda machine from Maximum Overdrive.
ELI5 SCP
The SCP Foundation is a secret organization dedicated to securing, containing, and protecting various anomalous entities. The website is an archive of top secret documents including entries for each entity, called an SCP followed by a number, containing a practical name, detailed description, the effects of the anomaly, experiments performed, containment methods, pictures, etc. Objects can be anything, benign looking household items, monsters, seemingly normal humans, etc. There’s nearly 5000 entries on the site. It’s a pretty fun time sink if you’re into short horror stories. Most of them only take a minute or two to read. There’s also multiple games, most notably SCP Containment Breach and tons of spinoff material.
So it’s like deep fiction to the tune of the game Control?
Exactly, it literally says in Control’s wiki, “inspired by paranormal stories about the fictional SCP Foundation.” I didn’t know the genre is now called “New Weird” though. I have some new authors to check out.
Hype. Thanks so much! I’m going to have to dig a while.
There’s a soda machine in seattle on the sidewalk of some random street not near any store, that someone stocks with random cans of whatever. Stuff I would have bet money doesn’t exist, sometimes. Never heard anyone mention it, but when I brought it up they were like “oh yeah that haunted vending machine.”
Allison Williams of Seattle Met also notes that the neighborhood of Capitol Hill now has a more corporate culture, and doubts whether the area is “still weird enough for a persistent enigma”.
Gentrification strikes again.
RIP 😭
They’ll also never understand the pleasure of finding a dusty machine like this on a hot day after biking a long distance, putting in a quarter and being shocked when it works(!) and the sodas are ice cold.
I could go for a Crystal Bepis right now.
Right now, it’s your tomorrow
Legit never seen a taste like that.
I like that diet rite is the only one that’s not a parody
Shasta or get the fuck out.
Agreed! I legit worked for SuperValu Corp back in the day for years on the soda desk and still would buy “off brands”! Shasta is still my jam to this day!! I am not trying to pay $10 for a damn pack of soda!
Also, nobody else makes a kiwi strawberry soda, and that shit fucking rules.
I agree!!! We get Shasta kiwi strawberry all the time and upset it’s now like $5 for a 12 pack!
