Nobody complained. A reporter looked into the permit in an attempt to trace the owner but found out there was no permit. The4 machine continued to operate for a few more years until it started malfunctioning. It tells you all of that in the video
I assume the haunted soda machine had its ghostly power cord plugged into the locksmith’s outlet. This is obvious nonsense - at best, an innovative marketing scheme. Well played, locksmith.

It wouldn't be too hard to run this off a couple of leisure batteries, which could be swapped out every now and then for recharging. Nowadays a few photovoltaic panels would provide trickle charge direct to the batteries. I run a pond pump off a couple that probably requires more power than this coke machine.
Caller: Is your vending machine running? Answerer: No, it went for a walk.
When Brew said "hope to see you again soon" he looked kinda sad. I hope he isn't going anywhere. Please stick around Brew. We all kinda like you.

My local Coca-Cola Bottling Plant used to have a machine in front of their office door, available to the public. It also had nothing but Mystery Flavor options, but the machine was actually used by the plant to sell damaged products; random cans that were perfectly drinkable, but maybe fell and dented during packaging, etc.. and at 15 cents per can, it was definitely worth whatever popped out. I think there was a complaint at some point and they took the machine down, but I miss popping a nickel and dime into the machine and getting something I might not have gotten otherwise.

@@bensoncheung2801 probably more along the lines of people complaining that they spend 15 cents on a bottle that was broken so much that they couldn't open it or it was empty. which isn't exactly a smart idea to complain about if it didn't happen too frequently - like imagine only every 4th can being unusable or empty/leaking, you'd still go out with a huge win in beverage. Some people just complain about everything honestly.
@straightpipediesel

@@bensoncheung2801 It's illegal and unsafe to sell dented canned foods actually. When you have a severe dent, the sharp edges on the crease can cause a tiny hole to form, then air enters the can, causing botulism bacteria to grow and somebody who eats it dies. Grocery stores and restaurants regularly get cited by the health inspector for dented cans. Could be something similar with the health department.

We had a mystery vending machine where I used to live. We didn't have many selections from other countries.
1:55 - Squirt isn't discontinued. It may be a little harder to find than most other soda brands, but it's fairly widely available (typically distributed in conjunction with other Keurig-Dr. Pepper brands such as 7up, RC, Sunkist, Canada Dry, and A&W). Likewise with the Sunkist Cherry Limeade.

IIRC companies that retire brands always keep a tiny batch of them for sale to preserve the trademark. I remember hearing about a small independent store in NYC that sold all this stuff. That said I wouldn’t be surprised if what was in the cans of old soda wasn’t the same stuff. Hard to believe they’d keep the ingredients and dedicate a bottling/canning run for a disused product.
Finally a new video! From Brew I've been binge watching every single video, there so interesting I can't help it I also just love the animation style, thanks so much for making amazing videos and keeping us entertained :) ❤

Squirt exists and Sierra Mist was just recently discontinued and Starry is still just Sierra Mist :)

A normal soda machine is basically a glorified fridge, and it takes a fair bit of electricity to feed it, especially on days when it's baking in the sun. That means it has to plug in like a fridge, and I don't think too many people would be okay with some random vending machine jacking their electricity without their consent. If it was indeed serving "ice cold drinks" as you say, it must have been doing so with the consent of the business whose electricity it was using. The mechanism could have been rigged to run off a car battery or something, but that could only serve ambient temperature drinks.
This sounds like an SCP...
Someone please write an SCP about an enigmatic ghostly entity that refills soda machines

"Long forgotten discontinued drinks such as Squirt" Bruh, I'm literally drinking that RIGHT NOW.
My best guess is that the owners were sea travelers who had a residency around the Seattle area. It would explain how overseas drinks ended up in it.
I work in logistics, and we do beverages.... I can get you a whole pallet of squirt for a few hundred...... Who told you it was discontinued? Maybe the supplier didn't make enough off the product, or it received not the best reviews in your area, and therefore, the middleman passed on the contract renewal.....
Good to see you again, Brew! Your visage was missing from the videos for too long.
I know that machine. I never got anything interesting from it other than Fresca which is among my favorites.
I've been to this machine in 2017 while visiting Seattle. Found it on Atlas Obscura. Can't remember what flavor I got and all the buttons were labeled Mystery.
It’s good to see the regular looking Brew talking. Did the crew break up or something?
In the stocking picture of the vending machine there is a clear shot of a license plate.

It's almost like the mystery was they didn't want to report that income to the IRS.

My parents used to own one as they owned a small business. I wish they still kept it as it would be cool to have one!
I live in Pennsylvania and Squirt has never been discontinued here. I've been buying it for years. Maybe it just got harder to find in certain places.
They still make Sierra Mist and Squrt.
