  1. Pallmmm says:

    First. :D

  2. Kittens Hate USA says:

    Machine fail + 2 Dumb people fail + 1 badluck fail

    • Minger says:

      Maybe not. This the shelves, labels etc look like the machine we have here and it has “Goldeneye” fitted. It can tell when it doesn’t vend properly and then spings the spiral again to try and get the item out.

      This could be a similar system which tried a few times and then gave up.

      Or it may be a true fail, we don’t know.

      • 3ntropy says:

        uh hhhwhat!???

        • Robbie says:

          It has a laser projected at the bottom to see if anything has been vended. IF it hasn’t, the program tells the spiril to go back one rotation and forward another rotation to allow the item to be fallen through. Once the item passes the laser projection, it knows that the item has been vended.

      • molesticide says:

        hahah, what are you trying to say?

        IT MAKES NO SENSE

        • udgjtfghdrg says:

          wow, lots of stupid people here

        • durr says:

          it makes perfect sense you human reject.

          da purty machine goes wuur and if no goodies come out it go waa?
          and then it try try again til the nomnoms come and you no lose yer monies.

          • e says:

            ROFL @ “it go waa?”
            I would tip my hat to you, if I were wearing one. Maybe I’ll just flip my skirt instead. (c:

          • molesticide says:

            “This the shelves, labels etc look like the machine we have here and it has “Goldeneye” fitted.”

            “it makes perfect sense you human reject”

            all i’m saying is, NO IT DOESN’T

            • e says:

              Do just a teensy bit of independent thinking – I know, it’s scary, but try it with me – and you get:

              This – the shelves, labels etc – looks like the machine we have here, and it has “Goldeneye” fitted.

              I added a pair of dashes, an S, and a comma for good measure. So much easier and more effective and productive than whining.

              OR! Assume for a moment that the author started out with just “This looks like” and then realized that he should explain what he meant by “this” but after correcting, he forgot to delete the “this.” So let’s delete it for him:

              The shelves, labels etc look like the machine we have here and it has “Goldeneye” fitted.

              Two commas would help it out a bit, but they’re not strictly necessary. It makes perfect sense when you make a tiny allowance for everyone being human and getting distracted during posting from time to time.

          • Mimi says:

            OMFG LMFAO. you’re cool. =D

        • e says:

          Makes perfect sense. Granted, I had to read it twice because I wasn’t expecting an actual explanation of a system designed to prevent vending machine non-dispense issues, but with the exception of one typo and a phrase that would be more easily read were it offset with dashes in the first sentence, it makes perfect sense.

      • fox says:

        BOND lingo FAIL

      • Malfeasant says:

        despite the bad grammar, i understood… but that’s because we have one of those machines where I work too, so my mind was prepared…

  3. Rokeden says:

    Now people are just trying to get all three at once

    Greedy buggers

  4. Wolfie says:

    Try again = Get all four = win?

  5. oorgle says:

    I once got three 20 oz juice bottles for the price of one.

    Middle school WIN back in 1997.

  6. ForgedPixels says:

    See, the trick there is to buy something heavier on a rung above the chips, so it falls onto them and dislodges the treasure into your grubby lil hands!

  7. Pwnd says:

    FAIL for wanting Sun Chips in the first place.

  8. Anonymous says:

    Camera white balance FAIL.

  9. Christine says:

    ouch, that happened to me the other week at uni, i was not impressed

  10. skalla says:

    wanting something too bad-Fail …

  11. skalla says:

    by the way, owned by sun chips …

  12. Trevor says:

    This pic has too be old…since when do bags of chips cost 70 cents. They are all about $1.25 or more in the vending machines i’ve seen recently!

  13. queenbee999 says:

    I saw a vending machine with 50 cent stuff in it a few days ago. o, and btw, more people die from shakin a vending machine and havin it fall on top of them than people that die from sharks AND lightning.

    • LouZha says:

      Ya well… how many ppl ARE killed by lightning while being eaten by a shark? Im guessin not very many at all.

    • Steven says:

      That’s why I never tilt it towards me. I always push it, then keep my hands on it to prevent it coming back on me.

      • Matthew says:

        Duh, you push it over from behind – or use a small shaped charge to blow the lock, whatever works. :)

        Killed by fallen vending machine you deliberately tipped over = physics education FAIL, DarWIN.

  14. BRMBug says:

    NOOOOOOOO!!! Munchies fail. :(

  15. They aren’t good for you anyway.

    • evil latte says:

      maybe not the best for you BUT they are far better for a person than the traditional fried chips..like Pringles

  16. Azz says:

    French onion chips win at not surrendering.

  17. keelhaul says:

    I could soooo get those chips!

  18. 3ntropy says:

    TIMS ftw

  19. Buy 1 get three pass.

    Stuffgirlslike

  20. Sponge says:

    French stuff not needing protecting by the British Armed Forces = WIN (though very unusual…)

    by the way, crisps cost 50p a bag across the pond from you yanks (that’s about 98 cents) Ripoff = FAIL

  21. Brett says:

    “Double late 90’s WIN: In High School, the Dr. Pepper machine broke, and started spitting out cans left and right. I got like 5 free!”

    That’s awesome! Same exact thing happened to me in high school, late 90s as well. And it was Dr. Pepper too! Weird…

    • dropofkim says:

      Weird is right – wasn’t there an X-files episode about the exact same thing? Heeh.

    • Kris says:

      We had a Coke machine in high school that had some sort of mechanical glitch. For some reason, whenever you bought Surge, it would give you fifty cents back (this was when 20 oz. bottles were $1.00). If you bought Coke or anything else, it’d cost $1.00.

      Needless to say, we all consumed a lot of Surge during that school year.

    • wundawomun says:

      It also makes me think of the pay phone at my high school (early to mid 90s) where you could put in a nickel, hit the release button, & repeat twice more and make your phone call so you’d make free calls whenever. That was cool. We had no cool vending machine stories though. :(

    • Keelhaul says:

      Wow!!!!!!In high school there was this soda machine that started spitting out all these cans and hitting people in the head…..Then all the machines started coming to life and the sky turned green and I was trapped in this truck stop by a bunch of 18-wheelers and AC/DC was playing all the time……..

  22. sewob says:

    if there’s ever a baddayblog.org, this shall be the first picture…

  23. Corto says:

    I am the first and I have an idea. We can change this web into a porn web.

  24. Pat says:

    I’d try a few more times for that.

  25. ozyran says:

    3 times a fail, but the fourth one might get lucky…

  26. shadow says:

    i always seem to be the one to get the stuck bags out. the coke machine broke at the high school. everyone was getting like 6 or 7 cokes out of it.

  27. Madic says:

    uber fail! it happened to me once
    arg i was pissed, thought buying 2 more would make it fall (had munchies for “unknown” reasons :P )

  28. gnardog says:

    buy the thing on top of that shit for the WIN!

    • li-li says:

      basic physics, you never let us down!!!!

      and don’t shake the machine b/c that’s how some poeple win the Darwin Awards.

  29. durr says:

    how i missed old vending machines. nothing says 16 free snacks like some effort and a drum stick.

  30. a. hole says:

    LOL 3 BAGS OF CHIPS STUCK 2GETHER LOL.

    wow. why is this even a fail?
    this is by far, the most boring, un-amusing fail of all.

  31. e says:

    First to yell PHOTOSHOPPED!

    I was *gonna* get to have a trifecta – very belated first, ridiculous photoshop claim, and not-a-fail whining – but a.hole beat me to the not-a-fail, damn the luck…

  32. Chris says:

    70 cents!!?? You just don’t see that anymore! Where is this???

    • Kris says:

      Probably the Midwest. I’m in Minnesota and most bags of chips cost 70 to 85 cents a bag.

      I guess it pays sometimes to live in a cultural vacuum.

  33. chris l. says:

    not a photoshop, pic from company vending machines. already tried buying the item on top, bounced right off these suckers. waste of $2… picture from May 2008. and the vending machine doesn’t have any effing laser. i mean really??? some loser is talking about vending machine lasers??? “goldeneye?!” just to clear the air… major fail! =(

    • e says:

      1. Failure to notice the sarcasm in my self-declared “ridiculous photoshop claim.” (Did you even read past the first line?) Haven’t you noticed that EVERY thread has to have SOMEONE screaming that it’s photoshopped? This one was lacking: Now it’s not, and balance has been restored to the Failiverse.

      2. Here is information about the Golden Eye and Sure Vend Delivery Guarantee System. (Dang, there’s a lot of typos on that page.)

      “Golden Eye
      This technology features an infrared transmissive sensor that detects if the product has dropped into the delivery bin.

      If the product fails to vend on the first try, the spiral will automatically make up to [three] additional revolutions in an attempt to vend the selection. As soon as the spiral returns to the “home” position. [sic]

      If, however, the selection still fails to vend after three attempts, the customer can make a new selection or receive a refund.

      Sure Vend
      Sure Vend product delivery sensor guarantees that selected items are delivered to the customer or their money will be returned. The system works by attempting to deliver the product up to three times. If a product is not dispensed and therefore recognised by the optical sensors after 3 attempts [at] vends, the customer is given the option of selecting another product or accepting a full refund.”

      Laser, infrared sensor, tomato/tomahto.

  34. Lance E Sloan says:

    I love this one. I’ve seen that happen ti the vending machine at my office. It’s considered a win if you walk up to that machine and find it like this. If you’re lucky, for seventy cents you can get three or four bags of chips at once.

  35. KendallJaye says:

    those chips suck anyway.

  36. julie says:

    this happened to me once, and then the guy shook it but accidently shook other stuff out and i got free stuff :D

  37. R.J says:

    I’d hit it

  38. Lily says:

    Being desperate enough and blowing enough money just to get a bag of SunChips?

    ABSOLUTE FAIL.

    Get a hobby, man.

  39. tonique says:

    ahahaha
    this happened to me once
    i called the company and abused them
    they actually sent me a cheque for $1.50

  40. Shay says:

    This just happened to me two days ago! I put in the dollar and the first bag of chips got stuck. I put in another dollar (figuring that I’d give the second bag to my kid) and that one got stuck.

    I considered putting in another dollar for about a minute then decided to go for it. I guy was watching and said, “You’re not going to put in *another*, are you?”

    I told him that I felt like I was playing the slots in Vegas and went for it.

    Yup. All three hung up.

    I needed the laugh that night. We were in the ER.

  41. Epsilon5 says:

    This is why we don’t throw good money after bad, fail-mongers…

  42. Mar says:

    omg. This exact thing just happened to me on the loading level of the Rogers Centre. Three f’n bags of Combos. Total vending pwnage.

  43. Wolvenblaze says:

    Literally 3 times out of 5 Sun Chips get stuck in the vending machine for me. They seriously need to redesign their bag.

  44. Mike says:

    Diet…WIN!

  45. Trickster says:

    WIN!!!! for the next guy

  46. vince says:

    lol sonofabitchin snack machines xD
