My local hardware store just installed a vending machine out front of it, in case you need things when they're closed.
I love it.

@wdormann Okay but like this is genius. 🧠 💰

I love that they threw in some snacks and...a pack of cigarettes?! 😂

@javensbukan
Haha. They're candy cigarettes. 😂

@wdormann @javensbukan hold up... Candy cigarettes still exist? Ones that could reasonably be mistaken for real cigarettes??

As a child I caught the tail end of them in australia, they were just barely identifiable.

We don't really care about things here in the states. 😂

@wdormann @javensbukan I would love to know what the evolution of that was. Whether they were never regulated in the first place. Or (like the supplement industry) regulation used to be considered an important right of every american until one rich guy in the 80s.

@coolandnormal I'm Mur'can, and I'm honestly not sure what either of you mean.

Anti-smoking movements in the US reduced the popularity of candy cigs and also led to their design change, in an effort to discourage kids from smoking. But they were 'cool' for kids of half a century ago and earlier, when adult smoking was much more widespread and accepted.
