About
Hey there huggy bear, my name is Matthew Baldwin. You may know me from such websites as defective yeti and Infinite Summer and The Morning News.
Well, enough chit-chat.
This blog chronicles my quest to consume and review every item from my office vending machine, in random order.
This website is approximately 65% writing exercise, 40% Internet stunt, 10% excuse to eat Swedish Fish, and 5% hackneyed joke about how totals may not equal 100%.
Vending Spree was partially inspired by Kevin Fanning’s Thirst for Knowledge, as well as the popularity of my past ruminations on Cracked Pepper & Olive Oil Triscuits.
This site is also very similar to John Moe’s Candy Club, but I totally like swear I came up with the idea separately, for serious.



Sorry dude. I happened to be playing with punny headlines, typed the words “vending spree” into google, and your site came up first. Didn’t mean to blow up your site before you were ready.
So, you’re doing this without added outside ingredients, right? Because that would make the review of the “Cup of Noodles” much more exciting….
In B22 (4th floor) we have a frozen food vending machine. There’s a hamburger in there. Honest.
