Bathroom Vending

Looking inside the door to the public restroom at the Sandusky Mall.

Okay. I get it. You may want a “cleaner” family image – distancing from what these vending machines used to be known for selling in men’s rooms. Fine. And after a rough session in the mall restroom stall (because WHO EVER uses that seat unless he absolutely has two) – I can’t blame you for spending a few quarters on the cologne in the second slot option. Maybe you get a taker or two on the ibuprofen at spot one. Maybe even a kid will talk dad into buying him a tattoo all the way to the right (remember when you might find one in a box of Cracker Jack?)

But who in their right mind would actually buy Starburst candy chews from a bathroom vending machine?

See below – I love that they never changed the tagline from the original vending machine: “When life just can’t wait!” I can’t wait to get out to the candy store just a few hundred steps away from here for my Starbursts. No, I need my candy fix NOW!

Straight on view of the Sandusky Mall bathroom vending machine (with apologies for the ugly mug reflection of the photographer).
