    DEfuse! You ignorant, uneducated bug. But then, why should a bug be expected to be educated.

      But what if he tries to turn himself liquid and enter the bomb by diffusion to defuse it from the inside?!

        No, he’s trying to diffuse *the bomb*, so he *must* trying to disarm it by vaporizing it and leaving the resulting gases to diffuse in the air. Clearly what the pliers are for.

          Diffusing is what a bomb will do if you fail to defuse it.

      Yeah. Realized that too late. Good catch. Will fix.

    Hey, maybe the bug bomb tech was going to use the pliers to hold the bomb in front of a fan or place it in a solution. It could be made more diffuse that way. 😉

    Yeah, the Bomb-Tech Bug is a nincompoop, so of COURSE he’s trying to diffuse it! What else would you expect? Sheesh!

    And I, for my part, know of NO ONE who shrugs and walks away when their treat gets stuck in the vending machine. Every single human on the planet at least WANTS to grab that vending machine and shake it like it’s holding your child hostage! Maybe on the outside we act like adults, but when it comes to snacks…we’re all screaming, fit-throwing, whining children! I’ve actually seen a vending machine on a construction job that ripped off an iron worker one too many times after he got through with wielding a 4X4 against it. It was NOT pretty! But by cracky he got his Snickers bar!

    I know the pain of the stuck snack. Our machine at work is constantly doing this. Everyone has learned the proper shaking technique to get said stuck snack to fall. It’s not good to hold a Snickers bar hostage from a retail worker!

      Even more so engineering students with access to the chemistry lab. as well as their own shop materials. Something about liquid nitrogen, dry ice and hand wound superconducting coils.

      SouthernGirl, do you work in my store in the Triangle? Because we shake it so often I can tell from across the store who’s doing the shaking if it’s a light pounding to a rafter shaking thumping! <– (usually my doing on behalf of our smaller, less muscular staff) But, when the soda machine fails to deliver, everyone's SOL.

      so many people die every year from shaking vending machines and being flattened when they fall over. that’s why you should always shake it while standing to the side.

    Solution: Call Martian Manhunter, and have him phase through the glass and grab your candy bar.

    It comes to my attention that the internet… and perhaps society as a whole, enjoys having fun with unintentional errors. It follows that this completely explains our current infatuation with Donald Trump. :O

    Your office should have the same thing we have. Just have the food out in the open where you can just grab it and take it to the kiosk to pay for it. As well as cameras to keep people from stealing.

    Some time ago, at a stop on a road trip home, I stood before a vending machine and made a choice. The choice between Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Twix. It was a difficult choice, but in the end I believe I made the right one. For on that day, a miracle happened. As I went to reach for my fallen Twix, without any further input of code or legal tender, the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups fell as well. And there was much rejoicing.

    There’s supposed to be lasers checking that your product fell that trigger another twist or two if nothing breaks the beams.

    Only in you finest modern machines I expect.
