As promised, here’s another 20 items that someone felt the need to make a vending machine for.  All the stoners among you will want to know where #19 is located.   Mashed potatoes?  REALLY?  Mashed potatoes?  If you’re going to do potatoes it better be baked with options to add chives, sour cream, and of course some bacon.

Tomorrow: The most amazing one of all.
