Got A Quarter?

I don't know why, but one of my first vivid memories is my dad loading me and my brother into the back of the family car at some ungodly hour of the morning to set out cross county. Once we were safely loaded in, he handed us two giant handfuls of those prizes you get from machines like this one from Gilcélio. They kept us occupied until at least the city limit as we headed off to Topeka...in a beetle.

The Real Thing

I've always enjoyed an ice cold Coca-Cola. I don't drink it as much these days, but when I do I especially love one bottled in Mexico and made with cane sugar (mmmm). I'm also old enough to remember vending machines like this one (hey, they were old when I was young, but they still worked). This version by CustomBRICKS pretty much nailed it.
