THE QUESTION:
Valdreag: Whose idea was it to have cokes cost a damn dollar?
THE (various) ANSWERS:
Megalo15:  Because we'll pay the dollar.
(Yeah, you'll pay the dollar. And you'll like it too.)
Reverend Two She
ds:  Those damned KGB agents, you know the ones, with the pointy hats...and stuff...
(Be quiet, you fool! They'll find me, and come after you too!)
BobGert: Probably the same guy who decided to hire a hit on the union strikers at the plant in columbia.
(Yeah, probably, but why the hell do I care about some random union dudes? I don't have to pay them a damn dollar.)
Trinity599: they figured that since usually they price things at $.99 or $.95  to fool ppl into thinking that they are paying less, well when they created  the coke machines…they didn't have the technology to make the machines make hard amou nts of change…notice how none of them accept pennies? There's a reason for that. However, they just decided that a Dollar was  an easy amount  and involved no change….that's why. B/c america is lazy and ppl will pay $1 instead of something less.
(We don't have the technology to make hard amounts of change and we've declared war on two abstract ideas [communism and terrorism] Coincidence? I think not, Bitch.. I mean, Bush.)
LilMangaGirl: You see, they really aren't. They are still 75 cents, just like the old GOOD times. But the soda faeries. They took out the 75 cents sign, and put in a dollar. And now, they are slowly but surley repopulating the Earth, WITHIN the Coke machines. And even if you DO give them a dollar, sometimes they choose to hate you...because.... they just can, and they do the following:
   1- Give you some completely random drink, that you personally hate, and they know it because they secretly know everything about you....*shudders*.
    2- They take the dollar, your drink gets... "stuck."...which, really means, that they got thirsty and are drinking it right there in front of you... bastards.
    3- They'll take your dollar, and then you push the button, and they're all like. "Ohhh, look at that, it's sold out... ooops?"
    4- Or they just take the damn dollar, period.
    5-And if any of these things happen, you kick the machine, thinking that the wonderful force your applying will magically make it work. And HEY! It did!! So you got your drink and your all happy. But the next morning you accidently sleep in, missing a few classes and you SWEAR TO GOD you set your freakin' alarm... But no. You couldn't brush your teeth, parents are bitching at you because your late. Dad takes your car. You miss the test, you can't make it up, you don't look good because your clothes were literally thrown on, and your hair looks like a hedgehog. ...Guess who did it? ...Yeah. The damn faeries.
(Amazing. Simply amazing. And all this time I thought it was disgruntled lawn gnomes that had escaped from their owners.)
Sophie: You know those ugly guys in the armani suits that sit in big leather archairs, smoking thier cigars, and looking out their gigantic office suite windows, yea it's them. they believe they have these special formulas and other "educated" ways to determine prices, but what it really boils down to is: squeezing every last dollar out of the poor people who need the caffine in the cokes to keep themsevles going, so they can actually be functioning members of society.
(Cuban cigars, I bet. Damn Cubans.. just like the Columbians that I have to pay a damn dollar to. I'm gonna go buy a bag of coffee beans and flush it down my toilet in honor of the union workers and cigar people.)
