Chocolate bars that drop from the top tier of vending machines can tend to be reduced to gummy pieces of mashed up nougat, caramel and what-have-you. Also, it causes undesirable sticking-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth phenomena, as well as the ever undesirable chewed-up-nuts-in-between-the-teeth look. Major turn off. Putting candy bars at a lower level prevents gumminess and ensures getting some. Okay, onto the next item. Chip packets have in them an enclosed volume of air that act as a cushion for the chips inside. Some believe that you actually pay for the service of having air in a bag, rather than the consumption of the chip-type food item. Heaven knows that they don't put enough chips in the bag in the first place. Thusly, I put it to you that if you drop a bag of chips from the top tier of a vending machine it will fall, nay, float gently down from the heights from whence it came, leaving the fragile pieces of potato or corn relatively unpulverized. I rest my case. ~Someone Not So Anonymous.
