Gimme a goddamn Vanilla Pepsi, dammit!

[katster]

or, how katster had fun working out a pattern.

They've put in new Pepsi vending machines in front of the Rockridge Safeway, which is a block or so from where I live. Pretty nice machines in my estimation, here's roughly the way it looks like.

01 02 | 03 04
05 06 | 07 08
09 10 | 11 12

the coin dispenser and stuff runs where the pipes do in my rough drawing.

What's in each slot? Well, all of them are paired (two of each kind) except 03-04.

01-02, and 03 are regular pepsi.
04 is Vanilla pepsi
05-06 is Diet Pepsi
07-08 is Mountain Dew
09-10 is Dr. Pepper
11-12 is Sierra Mist.

Okay. So I push button #4 for my vanilla pepsi.

I get a diet. This is specifically what I did not ask for.

Curious if there was an off by two error, I hit #6, and get a Moutain Dew.

Nope. Onwards to Button #8. Dr. Pepper. Strange.

#10? Sierra Mist. Okay.

#2? Pepsi. Alright...

#11 on a random guess? Sierra Mist. Ah *ha*.

And I push #3, and get exactly what I wanted. Yeah, off by one error. %) But call it my obsession with patterns and the fact I really wanted a Vanilla Pepsi, and I now have six more bottles of Pepsi product in my fridge than what I'd planned on.

Well, at least there's not really a Pepsi product that I cannot stand in the bunch...

For some reason, I really liked this post. I've never had a Vanilla Pepsi, though.

Vanilla Pepsi's pretty good. It's nice and smooth, and the diet version tastes almost exactly like the regular (I think they're using the same sweetener they use in Pepsi One).

Basically, VPepsi is for folks who like a smooth vanilla cola, and can't stand the bite and slight bitterness of Vanilla Coke.

What you didn't see was thistiny little camera watching you. Because it's not just a drinks dispenser, it's really a secret experiment into student intelligence, or something.

You should be experiancing an "alien" abduction sometime soon, where you'll be whisked away to a lab and experimented upon.
