The
first non-tipable coke machine was put in place yesterday as Coca-cola
hoped to reduce vandalism. This new machine is designed to be impossible
to be knocked over.
"Every year hundreds
are coke machines are tipped over and ruined," a man with very
bad teeth representing the Coca-Cola company said, "This is costing
us thousands a year to fix or replace these machines, a cost that eventually
passed on to the customer."
The new machine will be
impossible to tip over thanks to "weeble" technology.
"I first got the idea
when I was playing with my Fisher Price weebles. I thought, 'Hey! Weebles
wobble, but they don't fall down! Weebles wobble, but they don't fall
down!'"
The new machine does indeed
feature a rounded bottom, kind of shaped like an egg, just like the
Weebles. The bottom is perfectly aligned. Tipping only causes it to
sway back a forth a couple of times before it just stands right back
up. "This machine knows how to defend itself. If you push, it'll
push back." No word yet on how dangerous these machines will be.
But why do people knock
over coke machines anyway? According to experts, it's actually poor
teens addicted the caffeine, hoping to tip it over and expose it's sweet
contents. However, our bad teethed friend from Coca-Cola disagrees.
"It's that damn Jerry
Seinfeld's fault. In an episode of Seinfeld he compared 'not giving
up' to tipping over a Coke machine. Saying, 'You can't just tip it over,
you got to rock it back forth a couple of times.' Of course, kids will
do anything they see on TV. And of course Seinfeld gave away the whole
secret of how to do it too."
Expect to see the new machines
wobbling at a mall near you soon.
