Stocked with stocking stuffers? Or stocked by stalking stocking stuffers? There could be Santa’s elves here as well as ghosts. Castela is certainly acting as if she’s just received the most unexpectedly wonderful Christmas present ever.
There was a Pepsi vending machine in my high school that dispensed cans of Pepsi Clear, back in my senior year of 2000/‘01. That stuff was discontinued at that time back in ‘94. Sometimes machines are left forgotten, with nobody to keep watch and restock.
In 1991 the chocolate bar called Raider was re-named Twix.
Since then, if you want to emphasize something (like a train station or hotel) being really in the middle of nowhere, the story then includes a vending machine still selling a “Raider” 😀
More likely, the school bought a huge load of Clear right before it went out of production. I remember when Mountain Dew stopped being available in cans (or, for a while, at all) in the UK, and a vending machine at my work still had them available for something like two years afterwards. It would have been even longer except that I was a regular customer 🙂
Yup. Male characters in this strip have a tendency to disappear as soon as they’re not needed for romantic tension. Even female characters have a tendency to disappear for significant time spans.
This reminds me of back in high school, we had two vending machines in the cafeteria. But they only had healthy stuff snacks and drinks. But just inside the entrance of the girls locker room for PE class was a soda machine with Cokes and other sodas. Guys would as the girls going to class to get some giving them the money. Or chance at a time when the girls where not in to go to the machine. It was not uncommon to see boys waiting outside the door for a girl to return with a soda. Especially at lunch time or near end of the day.
If the vending machines are always stocked, then, logically, someone must be stocking them.
you must be new to this universe

Oh, yeah. Here’s one from Germany:

Sadly I’ve never seen one since ’95 xD

Or maybe the person who stocked the vending machine bought in massive bulk at a fantastic price.
Perhaps this school is the new home of Seattle’s Mystery Vending Machine.
Either that or those machines were last filled 20 years ago, and no one’s been drinking them.
Dust and mold? Nah… it’s those damn onion-cutting ninjas…
The Tsundere is strong with this one…
See? Told ya Timmeh hadn’t been cut from the cast, which means Day and Flutter-boy aren’t either, or any of the rest of them
Oh? Do tell… So when do you expect Shelly’s Band-mate from Fermented Banana’s, or Kevin and his buddy with the Frisbee to show up?
When Paul wants them to. Which will be when Paul feels he has a story worth telling about them.

But I’m glad to see Timmeh at least is still with us.

We had just one vending machine at my school, and it had all the unhealthy stuff (and water).
The anti-Daylla is revealed.
Honest girl evokes strong reactions.
Ahh, trust Shawna to find the one chink in Castle’s armor.
Full of dust, and mold, and… and… friends…. dammit.
Some of the stuff looks like labware. What do you bet Daylla shows up with some hi-tech stuff lugged in by Mohan and Hiroshi?
Thought those were exercise machines… :/
I thought the thing over by the window looked like an upside-down table.
Correllian: more plausible (and comfortable) than an exercise machine
