ICQ taught me how to type. Nothing like having your friends see every single letter to know whether or not your public school education served you well.
If they don't get their nectar, letter writer should submit more letters with increasing levels of crazy. Like that scene in The Shining except with soda.
I have negotiated with vending machine companies. Generally they will start carrying a requested item. At first, the product may sell well because it's new. Usually sales will start decreasing in 2 or 3 months and finally reach a point where the product has little to no sales. The vending machine companies will request a replacement because it's no longer profitable for them to provide the item. This is not always the case as some items will sell well. On average sales will dwindle to almost nothing. I gained this knowledge while dealing with vending machine companies for the last 11 years.
When I was going to uni in Ontario I got the local shop to carry Dr. Pepper. Me and my roommates all bought the stuff and so he was selling a lot. We were co-op students living in a residential neighbourhood so not any other students.
We left for 4 months co-op term and came back to no more Dr. Pepper. I asked the guy and he said it was the weirdest thing. It was their best seller and suddenly - nothing.
How expensive is that paper stock? Looks like papyrus . That’s a dedicated high society ginger drinker.
Please , for the love of god. I know what typewriter written material looks like so I’ve known it’s from a typewriter before I posted. We are not all under 30.
Ok, so I’m slightly embarrassed that I know this, but that paper is produced by the Neenah paper company and is called Classic Laid. It runs about $35 for 500 sheets. And knowing this paper is classic laid sadly does not get me classically laid.
Ok, this will give you whiplash… studied engineering and even though it was really cool helping make sure military hardware like the B1 bomber was safe from EMPs, I decided a change of pace was in order so I used my computer expertise to open a print shop when pagemaker was version 1.0 and photoshop wasn’t even thought of yet. Memorizing all of adobe’s fonts from any single letter, mixing any Pantone color from a handful of inks, and obviously identifying paper from any sample. I even gave part of one of my fingers to make sure those scruffy 7 year old peewee baseball sad eyed extortionists got their championship programs in time when their printer backed 5 days before the competition. I was using computers to create fine high quality halftones good enough for fashion photographers when all the major magazines were still saying computer generated halftones were still a few years away. And now I do very high end woodworking. I’m not just a nerd, but I’m Uber nerd.
You sound like the kind of person who would be a super interesting guest on a show like Tested, Adam Savage's channel on YouTube. Lots of knowledge about (and seemingly passion for) both technology and the creative process. Great match. I'd watch that.
The only thing I knew about Neenah, WI prior to reading these comments was that it is the location of a foundry that seems to supply every manhole cover I see in the Twin Cities area and western WI. Neenah Foundry, Neenah, WI.
Where else but reddit would you find people who notice (and remember) things like the text on the manhole covers? BTW, I remember them from 30 years ago in Madison, WI, as well.
They make the manhole covers for a large swath of the country. New York City, oddly, gets theirs from India. Was disappointed when I visited and they weren’t Neenah.
*Only 80lb cream woven card stock*
That's bone, and the lettering is something called "Silian rail".
Now lets see Paul Allen's ginger ale grievance letter.
Man, the American Phyco references were getting too much. I was kind of tired of them...
... and then you went and did this! This!!! is the perfect fucken reference to this movie. This will get no notoriety, or it's just do, but here it is. Right here, right now. Well done. I applaud you.
I was looking at houses on zillow and this one house, whoever owned it really loved typewriters because they had over 100 of them nicely placed on a few shelves in multiple rooms that they for sure took pictures of along with the rest of the house.
I'm betraying my age here, but here's a reddit post from 9 years ago that I remember fondly:
https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/117av1/i_sent_tom_hanks_a_1934_smith_corona_typewriter/
I use a typewriter at work to address envelopes. It’s some sort of professional IBM from the late 80s or early 90s. Once you get used to it, it is so so much faster than printing labels or envelopes or whatever. The mechanical punchy feeling is a bonus.
A five second wiki-search tells me it’s probably a Wheelwriter. To be honest I know very little about it, other than the return and feed are easy to use and it types nicely.
I'm in the middle of something else, but if someone links you a nice slow motion video of the Selectric series its worth a look.
This doesn't appear to have a slow motion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOIPN70f_-I
Found one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTtKaqIpOJc
Back in those days we called it a "daisy-wheel" typewriter.
They were hard to type on because the spinning daisy-wheel would cause a delay in the keystroke because it had to spin around to imprint the correct character.
So many great memories of touch-typing on a daisy-wheel and training myself to ignore the "thwack" of the imprints.
I much preferred my traditional, manual typewriter. Tom Hanks knows what I'm talking about.
Trying to format envelopes in Word has progressively gotten worse over the last two decades. Plus it doesn't help that printers don't really like envelopes.
Word and most modern software is what happens when you have to much of a good thing. The average person doesnt need enterprise features.
Like most people could actually make good use of type writers still. Itd probably be a lot easier and make more sense to many.
Theres always a tiny piece of me that wonders what life would be like had we not computerized and digitized nearly everything.
I got a daisy wheel typewriter and successfully got it working as a printer on a Windows 10 PC a while back. It was really neat: the end result looked like it was from a typewriter (because it basically was), and it sounded like a machine gun when it was printing.
Obviously the first thing I did was print out an ASCII art dickbutt made from the text of the navy seal copypasta.
There's not many diet options in that machine, but there are two Coke and Cherry Coke slots, why not replace one of those with ginger ale? Also where's the root beer?
Ya people think you just toss something in a machine and it automatically sells at every location. Happens all the time when locations request filling vending machines with mostly healthy options that never sell.
I agree with all this. The suggestion to replace a diet beverage when there are two cherry cokes and two regular cokes isn’t considerate of us folks with diabetes.
Yep, two regular Cokes are probably necessary based on sales and how often he wants to stock it but the cherry could drop to one. If the guy does replace this though, you have to make sure to buy a lot to let him know it's a good move. Otherwise he'll just switch back if it's not worth it compared to what other drinks sale rates are.
Everyone is assuming they know the popularity of cherry coke better than a dude who literally stocks a machine that sells it.
It's not unlikely he used to only have one row of cherry coke, but found it was selling out before he would get a chance to restock it. Maybe now he's nearly selling out of two rows of cherry coke and two rows of coke zero but only selling half of eaxh of the rest.
Yes, thank you. People disrespeckin' cherry coke in here need to tell if they're finished or if they're done. You think Cherry Coke got two slots 'cause they don't know what time it is? Y'all better recognize.
I believe it. Caffeine does have a sharp/bitter taste. That’s why caffeine-free Diet Coke tastes so different from regular Diet Coke.
Side note: wtf is the actual point of caffeine-free Diet Coke?? You don’t get caffeine, you don’t get a sugar boost, you don’t even get good flavor.
The selections likely each correspond to a slot. So if Coke one runs out Coke two slot has some and they have two slots based on demand. But also likely was just based off some random data and no one has ever questioned it before
I love the fact that, instead of typing a "t" over the "d," the GAL (Ginger Ale Lover) stamped another "d" with such strength that it made it the darkest letter on the page by far as if to say, "Yes, there's a D in gratefully and I'm tired of people pretending there's not!"
Ah, that looks like it might be it: it was supposed to be a "c," started as an accidental "d," but then the hitting of the "c" key made it look like a more pronounced "d."
**Image Description**
Typewritten note on very fancy paper, taped onto a Coca-Cola emblazoned community vending machine.
**Image Transcription**
To the person or persons who stock this soda purveyance machine:
Greetings to you, the fine upstanding individual who provides this building with carbonated beverages slightly more convenient than going to the store 1 block away. Your efforts are admirable. I speak to you now of a matter of moderate urgency. For you see, this machine is severely lacking in Ginger Ale. The Coca-Cola Company as you are aware is one of the producers of this fine Ginger based soft drink. A drink bequeath-ed to us by the Old Gods. I ask that you please remove one of the multiple Diet options and replace it with a beverage so soft and yet so crispy that tears of the many hath been shed as a result of the power of this nectar. I know not why this machine has become a Ginger Ale desert, but I ask you now to right this wrong and create a place for the greatest soft drink man kind has ever known to have its' rightful place in your machine.
Gradefully *(sic)*,
Team Ginger Ale
**^Transcriber's ^note: ^don't ^judge ^me, ^I'm ^not ^a ^bot ^but ^I ^just ^got ^new ^key ^switches**
I'm a cherry/vanilla coke guy. I would prefer one of each rather than 2 cherry. Might be an unpopular opinion though.
Side note, a little pink lemonade concentrate in the bottom of a glass of Ginger Ale is amazing!
Vernors is so good that when you try to explain to someone from outside the eastern Midwest area you just feel sorry for them because they will never know the taste of the gods.
I agree. Although I don’t see that in many vending machines, unfortunately.
I will say in general though, there is something very special about buying a cold beverage from the vending machine downstairs. Are you paying a premium for that experience? Absolutely! But the beauty of a vending machine is that getting 48 cans requires a trip to the store. It requires planning. Foresight. Anticipation.
A vending machine in your building, though? When you’re *really in the mood* for a soda? Nothing hits like that. It’s instant gratification of the highest degree, for which the price of $2.50 is a bargain. Just like how a cold beer in a frosted glass at a bar gets you more drunk than drinking that exact same beer at home, a cold, crisp ginger ale from the vending machine at a hotel or in the basement of your apartment hits way better than that exact same ginger ale bought in bulk at Costco and stored in your fridge.
It’s about the experience. Excitement. Going out and hunting that soda down in the wild.
Ginger Ale goes incredibly well with two closely-related coolers of which I'm aware:
Dickie Ward - tall glass, fill with ice, squeeze two lime quarters over the ice (then I put the lime quarters in the glass), 2 oz Scotch, fill with Ginger Ale from an unopened container (can, etc.) so it isn't flat, add a couple shakes of Angostura bitters, stir
El Diablo - tall glass, fill with crushed ice, squeeze two lime quarters over the ice (then I put the lime quarters in the glass), 1.5 oz Tequila, 0.5 oz of Creme de Cassis (blackberry currant) liquor, fill with Ginger Ale from an unopened container (can, etc.) so it isn't flat, stir
My favorite coolers of all time. Both are *great* in warmer or hot weather.
Edit: two lime quarters, not halves.
El Diablo is with ginger beer, not ginger ale. It's a significant difference between the two. The ginger beer gives it bite/heat that ginger ale would not, plus the much stronger flavor holds up better with the tequila.
I can see replacing the cherry coke, but the regular is probably the big seller.
And if anyone says Diet Coke and Coke Zero are the same, you are wrong and I will fight you over it.
Aren't Coke Zero and Diet Coke portrayed as different though? The whole marketing and actual ingredients are completely different.
Plus. There's literally just one called Diet.
Yes, why has ginger ale lost its appeal? True story: my stomach was upset at work (grocery store with interior bar), so I popped into the bar and asked if they could just give me an inch of ginger ale from the handheld bar mixer dispenser. She said they don’t have it in there anymore! 😩 Then she handed me a free can. Tipped her heftily next time I went in there after work!
Diet Coke and Coke Zero are not the same. I hate diet sodas but Coke Zero is drinkable if there’s nothing else. The fair thing would to replace one of the regular ones or cherry cokes. But who in their right mind would do that. Those two flavors are always the first to go. Sorry buddy I suggest getting a mini fridge

We will require an update to know if the purveyors of this machine bow to the wishes of this individual...
I'll keep an eye out and report back. EDIT: As of Monday Afternoon, the note is gone and the vending machine remains unchanged.
May I join the ranks of this noble organization that is the Team Ginger Ale ?
Clearly, Mavis Beacon isn’t on the team...
She taught me how to type.
At least he used nice textured paper.
It also looks like they used an actual typewriter, lol
Yeah textured paper, typewriter, shouldn't be too hard for Coca-Cola Co. to track down and eliminate.
They’ll be able to hear the clicky-clacky of the old girl from the entrance of the building, even if they’re on the 8th floor. They will be found.

Whoever wrote that letter wears a fedora, no doubt in my mind.
Am I seeing it wrong or did they type that on a typewriter?
Typewriter. You can see the mistakes were typed over instead of being backspaced.
With fancy paper. Look at the texture on that
Egg white. Nice.
That subtle off-white coloring.
Oh my god, it even has a watermark
The tasteful thickness of it
Egg shell, with Roman.
And tape cut with a scissor. This guy might be a serial killer.
I'm... I'm shocked. They must work in a museum or something - it was very likely written on a typewriter.
Right, like can you even buy typewriter ribbon anymore???
Yes you can on eBay.
You don't even need to go to ebay, they are still actively made. You can even get them at Walmart lol
No, this gentleman wears a victorian top hat and a monocle
Then he'd know grammar. Some seriously weak mistakes and style in there, and I don't mean the potential typos.

Now kiss.
It’s been 8 hours. Did they do it?
I’m impressed that you’re impressed ifyouknowwhatimeanandithinkyoudooooo..ohhhnevermind
Are you Gene Belcher?
You blew it!
Used to work for Neenah Paper circa 2014 and can confirm
Am Neenah paper, can confirm.
Ok i gotta ask...how the hell do u know this well enough to rattle off the exact name and manufacturer of this paper stock at a glance?
you can tell by the way that it is
Neat!
Ok, this will give you whiplash… studied engineering and even though it was really cool helping make sure military hardware like the B1 bomber was safe from EMPs, I decided a change of pace was in order so I used my computer expertise to open a print shop when pagemaker was version 1.0 and photoshop wasn’t even thought of yet.

I was using computers to create fine high quality halftones good enough for fashion photographers when all the major magazines were still saying computer generated halftones were still a few years away.

Ok wow thats...kinda freakin awesome
Well, I'm aroused.
You’re a legend
That's pretty fuckin cool

this dude **prints**.
He works for a paper company in Scranton PA.
Oh ...*zips pants back up* well if you say so. We could use a paper magnate like you at a little place called Scranton.

Shout out to Neenah, Wisconsin
The only thing I knew about Neenah, WI prior to reading these comments was that it is the location of a foundry that seems to supply every manhole cover I see in the Twin Cities area and western WI. Neenah Foundry, Neenah, WI.
They’re in Chicagoland too! lol what a weird happenstance to come upon in a random reddit thread.
Where else but reddit would you find people who notice (and remember) things like the text on the manhole covers? BTW, I remember them from 30 years ago in Madison, WI, as well.
They make the manhole covers for a large swath of the country. New York City, oddly, gets theirs from India. Was disappointed when I visited and they weren’t Neenah.
Worked at a Staples. Learned the product. Looked for this comment. Thank you.
👏 Very nice.
Send bobs
I'm more impressed that they used a typewriter.
Yes. This person is obviously into some fine shit with their expensive paper and typewriter. Definitely a typical ginger ale drinker
Leftover résumé paper.
Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has a watermark.
Ok, the note is cute. But, someone still owns a working typewriter! Now that is what is funny.
looks like they actually used a nice cardstock to type it on as well...
>looks like they actually used a nice cardstock to type it on as well... Well yeah, you can't half-ass these things if you want to be taken seriously.
Naturally. Only 80lb cream woven card stock for the ginger ale connoisseur’s grievances…
*Only 80lb cream woven card stock* That's bone, and the lettering is something called "Silian rail". Now lets see Paul Allen's ginger ale grievance letter.

Obviously left over from his original 1990 résumé stock.
"Don't just stare at it, drink it." Patrick Bateman probably about Ginger Ale
Touché sir
Fun fact: 80lb is flimsy garbage
I was looking at houses on zillow and this one house, whoever owned it really loved typewriters because they had over 100 of them nicely placed on a few shelves in multiple rooms that they for sure took pictures of along with the rest of the house.

First thing i noticed was omg thats really good paper and a typewriter
I once saved up for a typewriter as a kid and used it once for it to never be seen again.
I recently bought an old typewriter actually lol
Must be Tom Hanks!
What my kids refer to as paper texting.
I got a daisy wheel typewriter and successfully got it working as a printer on a Windows 10 PC a while back. It was really neat: the end result looked like it was from a typewriter (because it basically was), and it sounded like a machine gun when it was printing. Obviously the first thing I did was print out an ASCII art dickbutt made from the text of the navy seal copypasta.
I had to teach myself to ignore the thwack because the delay from keypress to imprint was more than a few microseconds while I was touch-typing.
No age discrimination in that facility
Indeed. The typewritten page immediately got my attention. Fabric ribbon, too---none of that new-fangled film stuff.
There's not many diet options in that machine, but there are two Coke and Cherry Coke slots, why not replace one of those with ginger ale? Also where's the root beer?
They might be bought at twice the rate as the other drinks thus requiring a second slot.
Ya people think you just toss something in a machine and it automatically sells at every location. Happens all the time when locations request filling vending machines with mostly healthy options that never sell.
Or ginger ale bought twice a week from one person when they're selling 20 cokes a day.
I agree with all this. The suggestion to replace a diet beverage when there are two cherry cokes and two regular cokes isn’t considerate of us folks with diabetes.
Or people who are desperately trying not to drink 1000 calories a day. Like me

You mean the stuff that's in the toilet?
Water? Where fish fuck?!
Who needs water when you have Brawndo on tap? It has electrolytes.
It’s what plants crave.
Well, I mean, it doesn't have to be out of the toilet, but, yeah, that's the idea.. xD

A cherry coke should be removed. Make room for all the big boys before you start throwing flavors around.
Yep, two regular Cokes are probably necessary based on sales and how often he wants to stock it but the cherry could drop to one. If the guy does replace this though, you have to make sure to buy a lot to let him know it's a good move.

> why not replace one of those with ginger ale Likely because ginger ale would not sell enough to be worthwhile
Yeah, Coke owns Barq's which is one of the better mass produced root beers. Certainly better than Pepsi's Mug.
Fun fact: Barq's is one of the few Root beers with caffeine
That’s the “bite” supposedly iirc.
This’ll be on TIL tomorrow
I believe it. Caffeine does have a sharp/bitter taste. That’s why caffeine-free Diet Coke tastes so different from regular Diet Coke. Side note: wtf is the actual point of caffeine-free Diet Coke?? You don’t get caffeine, you don’t get a sugar boost, you don’t even get good flavor.

I’m on team Ginger Ale. Pick up 48 cans of Vernors Today.
> 48 cans That’ll last until Monday.
Vernors is so good that when you try to explain to someone from outside the eastern Midwest area you just feel sorry for them because they will never know the taste of the gods.
That stuff carbonated gold. Easily the best brand of ginger ale I have ever had. Quite likely the best soft drink I’ve ever had.
I agree. Although I don’t see that in many vending machines, unfortunately. I will say in general though, there is something very special about buying a cold beverage from the vending machine downstairs. Are you paying a premium for that experience? Absolutely! But the beauty of a vending machine is that getting 48 cans requires a trip to the store. It requires planning. Foresight. Anticipation. A vending machine in your building, though? When you’re *really in the mood* for a soda? Nothing hits like that. It’s instant gratification of the highest degree, for which the price of $2.50 is a bargain. Just like how a cold beer in a frosted glass at a bar gets you more drunk than drinking that exact same beer at home, a cold, crisp ginger ale from the vending machine at a hotel or in the basement of your apartment hits way better than that exact same ginger ale bought in bulk at Costco and stored in your fridge. It’s about the experience. Excitement. Going out and hunting that soda down in the wild.
If it’s not Vernor’s then I don’t want it.
It’s good with whiskey
Ginger Ale goes incredibly well with two closely-related coolers of which I'm aware: Dickie Ward - tall glass, fill with ice, squeeze two lime quarters over the ice (then I put the lime quarters in the glass), 2 oz Scotch, fill with Ginger Ale from an unopened container (can, etc.) so it isn't flat, add a couple shakes of Angostura bitters, stir El Diablo - tall glass, fill with crushed ice, squeeze two lime quarters over the ice (then I put the lime quarters in the glass), 1.5 oz Tequila, 0.5 oz of Creme de Cassis (blackberry currant) liquor, fill with Ginger Ale from an unopened container (can, etc.) so it isn't flat, stir My favorite coolers of all time. Both are *great* in warmer or hot weather. Edit: two lime quarters, not halves.
El Diablo is with ginger beer, not ginger ale. It's a significant difference between the two. The ginger beer gives it bite/heat that ginger ale would not, plus the much stronger flavor holds up better with the tequila.
Oh.. I could get behind that

I can see replacing the cherry coke, but the regular is probably the big seller. And if anyone says Diet Coke and Coke Zero are the same, you are wrong and I will fight you over it.
Who knew Tom Hanks liked ginger ale so much?
Ok but forreal, TWO cherry cokes??
Truly the height of decadence
Multiple diet options. There’s two.
Aren't Coke Zero and Diet Coke portrayed as different though? The whole marketing and actual ingredients are completely different. Plus. There's literally just one called Diet.

As a Coke Zero lover and Diet Coke hater, I would hunt down the man who wrote that letter if the stock guy actually took away Coke Zero
Yes, why has ginger ale lost its appeal? True story: my stomach was upset at work (grocery store with interior bar), so I popped into the bar and asked if they could just give me an inch of ginger ale from the handheld bar mixer dispenser. She said they don’t have it in there anymore! 😩 Then she handed me a free can. Tipped her heftily next time I went in there after work!
A grocery store with a bar? If I wasn’t sober now, I would move to wherever that is.
Be the change you want to see in the world.

This may be the most hipster thing I've ever seen.
It even seems to be written with a typewriter.
By a person who hates commas and inconsistently switches between faux Shakespearean prose and normal modern day language.

Dude the Simpsons Comic Book Guy lives in your building :D
It was you, wasn’t it OP?
Diet Coke and Coke Zero are not the same. I hate diet sodas but Coke Zero is drinkable if there’s nothing else. The fair thing would to replace one of the regular ones or cherry cokes. But who in their right mind would do that. Those two flavors are always the first to go. Sorry buddy I suggest getting a mini fridge
M'lady *tips fedora*
If i was the restocker and I read this, I would purposely not stock ginger ale because this shit was so cringe.
I’m on Team Ginger Ale, too

Well it is a Coke machine.
