A good alternative if the Schow machine "Soda" is emptyactually called ''pop'' [http://www. Has been known popvssoda.com by some people]. Others try to please most demographics by refering to emit two bottles it as "soda pop," while still others, for some inexplicable reason, call all varieties of diet soda "coke for the price ." The title of one on more than one occassionthis section is able to sidestep this issue, perhaps due as Coca-Cola Co. has a deal with the college to provide free beverages in the fact that dining halls in return for the bottle sometimes gets stuck while being dispensed and some don't think exclusive right to reach up and pull it output vending machines on campus, thus all soft drinks here may be justifiably gathered under the term "Coke."

== Jesup 2nd floor = '62 CTD Basement ===

Another good alternativeLocated in the depths of the lower level in the mini-kitchen, though it has sometimes not workednear the AMT green rooms. Is both empty and seemingly dysfunctional.

== GoodrichThe card reader does not work and if you ask for your dollar bill back it gives you quarters instead. This machine is notable for being one of the few on campus that distributes CANS of soda, 2nd floor ==rather than plastic bottles. On one hand, you get less soda per order- on the other hand, sometimes you just want to satisfy a small craving, not chug a 400+ fl. oz bottle. This machine is perfect for those times. Also, each can is only 65 cents. That's AMAZING when compared to the exorbitant pricing of some machines (I'm looking at you, dollar-twenty-five-soda-machine-just-outside-of-Schow).

Albeit unreliable when it comes to using change (the coin slot has been broken for quite some while), the soda machine takes cards and dollar bills. Located on the 2nd floor of Spencer, in the nook next to the couches. === Brooks === It's a coke product machine underneath the staircase as you go down to the basement. It now accepts coins. Joy. === Bryant === Takes neither cards nor coins, so keep your dollars crisp.

Card reader is broken. === Dodd Kitchen === Frequently problems with card reader. Some occasional problems with cash as well... coins are your best bet. === Fitch Basement === Near the pool table; a good alternative if the Prospect machine is empty or not working.

Also boasts the worst selection of drinks (particularly when the Coke and Sprite are sold out). However, undeniably useful if one has a morning class in Hopkins or is drooping off during [[College Bowl]] practice. === Jesup 2nd floor === Another good alternative, though it has sometimes not worked. May eat your cash. Update: The coke machine currently does not work. Update 2: Appears to be fixed Update 3: Appears to be broken again === Mission === Machines on both sides. The snack machine in the lounge/pool room gives an error message and steals $.75 about every other time a card is inserted. === Morgan === Located in the basement. Was the cause of much frustration for certain upperclassmen living there this past summer; never accepted either cash or cards, necessitating the meticulous collection of loose coins before making a trip downstairs. === Perry House === Coke machine located in the side entrance. Frequently empty. === Prospect Basement=== If you're in the mood for [[Jagged Ice]], be warned. To get this most awesome of the [[Powerade]] varieties, you may have to push the button for the less awesome orange-colored Powerade variety. Very convenient for Odd Quad residents seeking caffeine at 3 AM. Has been known to give water instead of Powerade. === Sawyer entrance Basement ===

Has bottles. usually full. === Thompson === It's between the Big House and the annex. It dispenses Coke products, and it has the motion sensor thing. If you duck, stealthily, you can avoid activating the motion sensor every time you come in the door. This saves energy. ===Williams E=== Basement, by the laundry machines. == Juice machines ==

If === Sage Basement ===Like an awesome slot machine, sometimes it wastes your money, but once in the while you're in hit the mood jackpot. I once got 4 for [[Jagged Ice]]the price of one. === Williams E === Near the Laundry machines. As of this summer, be warneddispensed two orange juices for the price of one. Considered a delight by many. === Hopkins Basement === == Warm beverage machines == Downstairs below Sawyer library. To get this most awesome  Outside Schow Library, behind the stairs in front of the restrooms. It gives no indication of when it's out of cups, however, and so your hot drink (and your money) may end up down the drain. == Snack machines == === Schow Entrance === Rarely has strawberry pop-tarts. Bronfman basement is, generally, a safer bets for a strawberry pop-tart buzz. === Greylock Dining Hall === Like the [[Powerade]] varietiescoke machine, this is also inaccessible at night. === Hopkins Basement === For a faultless vend, 24 hours a day (you may might have to push come in through the security door on the button for East side and walk down the less awesome orange-colored Powerade varietywhole hall... occasionally well worth it though). As of Nov. 30th, refuses to take coins, although still delivers when presented a crisp Washington. === Lasell Gym ===
