If you're a college student, you could fill it full of beer and have the coolest beer fridge EVAR.

 

[pyonir]

well, therein lies the problem. mom and dad have a bar, and altough it would be very easy for me to stock the vendo 570 with 570 cans of bud, bud light, pabst blue ribbon, it would be:

grounds for arrest
more than likely against several federal laws
not particularly viable since me and dad are not drinkers

 

[iamwiz82]

lol, i cant imagine what was going on in his head when he picked that out

 

[Electric Amish]

Rip out a can track or 2 and make it a refridgerator/drink vending machine.

amish

 

[Nemesis77]

That's... unique. It's kinda cool and... unique....

 

[tweakmm]

sure beats that tuna last year

 

[iamme]

Would you need some sort of license to stock it up and put it in a public place?

I wonder how much money one vending machine can make....

 

[TuffGirl]

Sweet! Now you have a place to put all of this.

 

[yakko]

how nuts IS my dad?

He was stocked up on Mountain Dew in the mini van so he is cool in my book.

 

[Ramsnake]

cool but very very weird...

 

[Amused]

Stock it up and make some money. Your Dad just gave you a little venture capital there.

You could say it's the "gift that keeps on giving."

most excellent job karen! thank you for perusing my ftp!

however, that pic was from last september when office depot had the $20 off of $50. i have long sold the entire load to a local pepsi purveyor.

unfortuneatly i lack the 50 12 packs to stock it.

 

[iamme]

Stock with beer and put it in a frat house......I'm sure no one will tell

You could clean up during frat parties

Lets see...that holds 570 cans of pop(that's a lot of pop!)

You can buy the pop bulk for $.25 a can, and resell it for $.55 a can, making a $.30 profit per can. Assuming you sold all 570 cans, that's $171 a fill up. Of course you probably have to pay some sort of royalties to whoever's premise you have the machine sitting on.

only $.55/can?

all vending machines I've seen were at least $1 per can....I guess that would make the initial price per can more expensive, though...

 

[Stark]

That's a great idea... especially if you are have friends or roomates who always eat/drink your stuff in the fridge. It's the perfect college apartment appliance.

 

[Adul]

Here is a suggestion for a new cover

 

[mpitts]

That is so damned awesome. I need one. How much did he pay for it?

 

[Frosty3799]

thats awesome

 

[GigaCluster]

Perhaps this gift is a hint of what he wants your future career to be.

:Q

 

[tokamak]
