	You know those candy vending machines with the row of slots at
the bottom?  ( No, not personally. :-) )  The ones where you put your
money in, push the button, and the bottom of the slot flips up, dumping
your choice out the back and into the tray at the bottom?
	Why is it that the manufacturers of these *charming* machines
feel compelled to put 5 kW light bulbs 6 inches above the chocolate bars
stored therein, so that my Snickers bar has the consistency of street tar
on a hot day when it comes out?
	AND ANOTHER THING:  In vending machines that have 40 or so different
items stored on little racks with corkscrew metal pieces to push them off the
front (after which they \drop/ to the bottom of the machine), why do the
folks who stock them place the Hostess Fruit Pies at the top?  After the two 
foot drop, one is left with a mushy mess!

	There.  I feel much better.
