Ice Update + Vending Machine Goodness

I have found ice! After 3 months at Boart (and thanks to a guy named Kevin), I have discovered a crushed ice machine in a tucked away breakroom in the building next to mine.

I work in some offices that are attached to the plant and right next door is our corporate hq. It turns out that they have an ice machine, so now instead of bringing my own ice from home and hoping that it does not melt before my coke break, I just cruise over to the other building for a refill.

Incidently, there is a vending machine in this breakroom and one of the more interesting offerings in the machine is called a "Big Texas" (see pic below). I did not realize that the lonestar state had a great bakery tradition. What types of preservatives are pumped into this thing to prevent it from going moldy (I am sure that they do not turn over that frequently)....

Chips (yes), Candy (sure), but a cinnamon roll?

What is the nastiest thing that you have eaten from a vending machine?

My boss eats one of those huge frosted pink cookies everyday from a vending machine. She thought they were better for you than a candy bar, until I mentioned they are actually four servings each.
