Vending Business Center » soda vending business

Is there a community online for vintage vending machine enthusiasts?

I’m looking for a group, forum, or blog. I’m not looking for forums/communities relating to the vending business, but for collecting and restoring old vending machines, particularly soda machines.
I’ve been searching online for the past 3 days with no luck.

There’s always some type of group for everything. Here’s a master link:

Please review my essay on Super-Size Me?

admin — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:08:53 +0000

This is my essay for Health. We watched the movie Super -Size Me and were asked to do this. The topics I included were all given and had to be used. and then of course, there had to be and intro and a conclusion. I dont want the essay checked for facts. I want it checked for grammar and that kind of stuff. so if you have the time to read this over i would greatly appreciate it.

I’ve numbered the paragraphs so that you can refer to them more easily.

thank you soo much

1 Super-Size Me is the perfect movie to watch to understand the benefits and harms of certain eating habits. It teaches us about the dangers of fast food. Not only that, but it also explains what foods to eat, how much of those foods, and ways to maintain a healthy weight.

2Super-Size Me is a great teaching tool for students and everyone else. For example, it shows us the risks of eating fast food, specifically McDonald’s fast food. Morgan Spurlock ate nothing but McDonald’s fast food for thirty days straight. He gained 25 pounds and also doubled his chances for heart disease. It took Morgan 14 months to lose his extra weight and he said it was nothing close to being easy. In addition, this movie shows the ways schools are affecting obesity in their students. Vending machines with pop are one of the main reasons. Some schools have banned soda vending machines and even prohibited students from bringing soda. Furthermore, Super-Size Me gives awareness about the consumption of fast food. Forty percent of American meals are eaten out of the house; that is about 121,623,890 people! Because of fast food restaurants, sixty percent of Americans, about 182,435,834 people, are either overweight or obese.

3 This documentary film shares many interesting facts. For instance, the people of America eat more than 1,000,000 animals hourly. Another fact is that there are only seven items on McDonald’s menu that contain absolutely no sugar. As well as McDonald’s being unhealthy, it represents 43 percent of America’s fast food market, which makes things even worse. Also, each day 1 in 4 Americans visits a fast food restaurant.

4 I think that it makes complete sense that the main cause for people being overweight and obese is the fast food industry. The food is already so fattening. On top of that, it makes a person lazy because it depresses the body and harms many of its organs. If you look back many, many years ago, weight was not such a huge issue. That is because the fast food industry was not so popular. This not only prevented people from becoming so weighty, but since they were not getting so much fat they also were active.

5Now, the question is, whose responsibility is it for Americans’ weight problems. The credit for that should go to both, the fast food industry and the general public. Yes, industry encourages the public to buy their food; they advertise through television commercials, signs, and even toys. But then again, the public is stupid enough to fall for all these advertisements. Fast food is not the only thing being advertised. There are commercials for whole-grain cereals, and articles about how to keep up a healthy lifestyle, and even free samples of fruit at the grocery store. Even so, we still tend to fall for the junk.

6Back in the 1950s, the founder of McDonald’s said, “Look after the customer, and the business will take care of itself.” This means that if the customer is convinced to buy the food then the business will be fine because it will be making money. Basically, customers are being looked after and at the same time being harmed because the food they are told to eat is only hurting their bodies. But no matter what, the business is making good movie.

7Overall, Super-Size Me teaches that fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s are extremely unhealthy. The food should be eaten very sparingly if at all. Otherwise, nutritionists advise to never eat it. It affects you in many ways, like by increasing your weight, or even heightening your chances of heart disease.
someone told me to take out the ‘i think’ that starts the fourth paragraph. the thing is, the teacher told us to give our own opinions/personal experience in the essay.
if i took out the ‘i think’ wouldnt it sounds just like facts? not my opinion?

I think that it makes complete sense that the main cause for people being overweight and obese is the fast food industry.
Take out the "I think".

The food should be eaten very sparingly if at all.
Take out sparingly. never use uncommon words unless its for English Class. (Lol)

Very nice Essay. I can probably only go up to like 3 paragraphs.

Great job~Hershi

Hi, I’m writing a story and…I would like your opinion?

admin — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 09:13:57 +0000

Mother. Mother. Mother. My thoughts flickered on and off like a about to be dead light bulb. She had always meant so much to me. More than sterling silver. So for me, seeing her in this hospital bed in pain was quite mortifying. The doctor asked me a question. “Has she had any medication?”, the doctor asked hoping for a honest-to-goodness-answer. “No sir.” came out of my mouth automatically. But as for the truth, I do not know if she has been on medication. She was my care giver wasn’t she? Why would I be the one to know what kind of medication she consumed??? What child would know this medical information on their parents medical and health records? Not me. My mom doesn’t believe it is ANYONE’S business if she has been taking pills for physical health or mental health. I heard the nurses muttering a very low heart rate of 53/90. My mother could barely speak. Well, she couldn’t even speak. Coming in here, I’d figured it’d just be like her appendix or something…but the doctors seem to be taking it much more seriously. I saw her eyes flicker at me and she smiled that half smile.You know the one that says “I promise I’ll be okay sweetie” that all those sick moms did on sappy television shows. The diagnosis?
None. We were all baffled. I figured the doctors could just you know, get the answer so we can get our butts out of this dump but no, they hadn’t came up with anything so far in the bloodwork. When I say nothing , I mean nothing literally. I whispered into my mother’s ear leaning over her hospital bed, “You asleep?” the truth was I only asked this just to hear my own mother’s comforting voice. I knew it probably took a lot of strength for her to even give me that normally effortlessly smile. “I’m awake “ she croaked her eyes still resting in a closed position. Sigh. More sighs. Goosebumps were suddenly up and down my arms just due to my mother’s softly spoken two-word sentence. “Elana , my grandmother cooed, “Relax. Do you want a coffee?” This was one of the things I loved about my grandmother. But at the same time I also hated it. I bit my lip and shrugged . I couldn’t focus on coffee when my mother was lying here practically on her death bed could I? Doesn’t that like totally break the rules of all those sappy movies. I wasn’t about to break the chain. She then sat back down in her seat in the hospital room reading yet another magazine of “Southern Living” I do not understand how she could care less about her daughter who was possibly dying at the time, when she had a magazine in her hands. Talk about material girl. Voices in my head scoffed and bickered with frustration. They all told me to do what is right. But what was the “right” thing to do? This, I had no clue whatsoever. Maybe I could come back to this. Possibly. I suddenly thought of my goldfish then compared it to my mother, It seemed so small and helpless. Seeing my five foot one inch mother on that hospital bed made me cringe. She had reminded me of the goldfish. So small and lifeless, yet graceful. I can’t believe how narrow I was thinking. A goldfish TO my mother? Was I going crazy? Maybe I was. Knowing this , I stumbled into the waiting room in desperate need of a diet soda. When I walked into the waiting room , I saw her. She was probably about my age, maybe a little older. She was crying. I didn’t know why at first but then I saw more clearly. I was in the amputees section. This girl must have to have to get a limb removed. Suddenly, I was overwhelmed by this girl and couldn’t help but stare. She raised her left eyebrow at me. “Do you need anything?”, she managed to snap through her soppy tears. Her mother looked at me in a way that usually means you-better-not-ask -about-it look so I stood there silently like a frozen puddle in the middle of a road. “I umm think…” I started before she cut me off. “You think there’s something wrong with me don’t you?” I cringed. “No..I was just..looking for a vending machine”
Her mother asked me a question hesitating “ Kid, could you stay here with Emily for just a few minutes while I talk to the doctor?” Must be pretty serious I thought. I gulped and nodded. Then I stared at Emily with her golden-blonde hair and emerald green eyes. She looked so…alive.Why was she in this place? I bet she could tell I was puzzled because she mumbled “Surgery whoopty-doo” I couldn’t help but smile. “ Hey are you uhh thirsty…I stumbled for her name..I quickly found her name on her bracelet. “Emily?”
Emily shrugged. “I’m fine. So why are you in here?” I sighed. I didn’t exactly know why I was here. “My mom’s really sick. We don’t know whats the matter with her.” She scrunched back into her seat. “Oh.” I could tell she really didn’t want to focus on our surroundings so I asked her a common question. “How old are you?” She answered simply, “12” The same age as me. “Oh cool I’m 12 too. My birthday’s may 15th.” I babbled like some strange girl would actually care when my birthday was. “I’m older than you t

it is pretty good, write more!

Interview: Russell Young

admin — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 09:26:12 +0000

Live from the DSE 2009 show floor in Las Vegas, Russell Young introduces his company and talks about how DSE helps his business.

More and more merchandisers are trying to find new ways to reach consumers, and are still looking to spend more in different ways, says Russell Young, senior manager, Strategic Alliances for Samsung, predicting further growth in the digital signage industry. One of the most exciting projects Samsung recently completed was its work with Coke on a new type of vending machine for the brand. The vending industry needed a kick in the pants . It needed something to generate excitement, Young explains. The concept, which went to market in the spring, replaces the flat, one-dimensional door of the vending machine with a door fitted with a 46-inch touch screen to promote the Coca-Cola brand as well as specific events it hosts and supports. From a bottlers perspective, its the same old machine, but on the front, its a whole new experience, Young says.

The Mad Dog Energy Chew vending machines are extremely solid and reliable gravity driven machines that do not plug in to an electrical outlet. They do not regulate the temperature or the product, nor do they make change. This means they are not subject to annoyance calls from business owners at the locations where they are placed. A Mad Dog Energy Products machine will hold approximately 160 Mad Dog Energy Chews. Maintenance and machine filling is especially easy with each machine requiring an average servicing time of just ten minutes per machine, per month. A route of 40 machines could therefore be service in just one day per month. This level of time efficiency is a critical element in the creation of passive income. These machines require comparatively little time and attention, making it possible for a single distributorship owner to build and service a very large route on a very part time basis.
