Vending Machine: Beating the System

I needed to do a small load of laundry today, and I realized I had no quarters...

But, for some reason, I had over a dozen dollar coins. I decided to try my luck with the vending machines (sometimes it feels like a bit of a gamble using vending machines), in the laundry room. One of the machines had soda for fifty cents. Perfect! I bought two sodas with a dollar coin each, and I got four quarters in return, exactly the amount I needed!

But that wasn't all! I ordered a root beer, and then a Fanta. The Fanta displayed on the machine was orange, so imagine my delight when it spit out a grape-flavored soda! I like grape flavor more than orange flavor! That made my day even better. I felt like I was "beating the system" several times over.

I am grateful for some fun and rather fortunate adventures with a vending machine today.
