The Forgotten Vending Machine
There is a village somewhere in England that has not been inhabited for over 20 years. It has long since been forgotten off of most maps, and only has one road in and out of it. If you manage to find it, it will seem a peaceable enough place, the derelict buildings being overgrown and nature taking back the land for herself. However somewhere within the village is a vending machine which still has power. it will still have it’s original look and sell ordinary brands of drink (though with 20 year old packaging) however the one at the very bottom will be marked “E”. Pay only in 10p pieces to buy this drink.
Before drinking the mysterious beverage, peer inside the can to check it’s colour (do not try to pour some out. it will refuse to leave the can despite any vigorous shaking you may attempt). If it is green in color, drink heartily, as it will give you an unnaturally long lifespan and good luck in everything you do. If it is red, however, drinking it will spread a horrific pestilence over you, claiming one of your senses every 10 years after the date that you first imbibed.

People have obviously run out of mysterious objects to include in creepypasta.
The fact it’s about a mysterious vending machine just amuses me [=

See, here’s a ritual creepypasta I can get behind… although I always do like the “bad things happen to good people for no reason whatsoever” idea, this one was pretty well handled. Simple and effective.

Souris, the same thing crossed my mind when I was writing out the title… but eh, I still like it.
October 6th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
THEN WHO WAS SOFT DRINK PRODUCER?
Honestly, enough with the mysterious villages.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
What about the village people? Do they drink from the soda machine?
October 6th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Oops, I’m an idiot.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
And if the mystery beverage is yellow in color and of musky scent, it has probably been consumed and recycled already.
and who was town
October 6th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
I need that green drink. NEED it.
/my luck is terrible
October 6th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
I can’t wait for the one about the demonic iPod.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
I’ve got a load of old 10pence coins, let’s test it, road trip anyone?
October 6th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
And if the drink is brown and tastes of an all natural blend of 23 different flavors…you hit the wrong button.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
if the vending machine is 20 years old then it will not accept current 10p pieces. They changed the size of them some years ago.
If you plan on looking for this village make sure to buy some old 10p pieces from a coin collector.
October 6th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
Can we buy more than one?
Easy ritual is easy.
October 6th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Does that mean that even if you ingest the red drink, you’ll still live 50 more years at least?
Or does it mean you’ll be losing senses from beyond the grave?
October 6th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Yay good thing my grandpa collected coins lets make a lil break in mwuahahah.Or why don’t we just smash the fricking machine and take all the drinks that come out worked for me with cola wending machine every time.
October 6th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
The first thing I thought was “What?! they have Ecstazy in machines?!”
October 6th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
@ Toad
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think there already is.
October 6th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
lol, vending machines. I MEAN, OMG, SCARY!
October 6th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Hi!
October 6th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
What do you do with it if it’s red?
October 6th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
umg, let teh bawdies hit teh flore
October 6th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
THEN WHO WAS “E”?
Weird story, I wasn’t quite fond of it.
October 6th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
coke is good
October 6th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
What if you were like, 100, and you drank the red, you probably wouldn’t be alive long enough to lose a limb anyway… haha
October 6th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
@ Xantherian
Please, for the love of all that is creepy, be wrong.
October 6th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
haha number 11 your hillarious.
If the color of the drink is pink, you will be cured of diarrhea illness for the rest of your life.
October 6th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
It’s seems we are running out of mysterious objects to curse. A vending machine?
October 6th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
1. i lol’d
2. if the drink is green more than likely it’s because it’s been rotting in a can in a vending machine of a ghost town for 20 years…just trippin’ on expired soda.
3. i think the people from this town moved to that Blanche place in France. hehe
October 6th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
The green one reminds me of ’slurm’ from Futurama…
October 7th, 2008 at 1:13 am
I like that fact that if its red it will take one of your senses every 10 years.. thats kind of all.
October 7th, 2008 at 1:15 am
lol @ toad
October 7th, 2008 at 2:14 am
I’m never drinking fruit punch again…
October 7th, 2008 at 3:38 am
I’ve actually been to that village.:D
October 7th, 2008 at 7:29 am
I don’t really like this one either, as there’s an almost certain chance of you coming out well from it. As long as you aren’t colourblind, you will either get the long lifespan, or you will see red liquid, toss it, and just go back to normal. A good one of these types of Pastas would have a good chance of you somehow screwing up the ritual/whatever and supernatually fucking yourself over because of it.
Oh, and at WHO WAS PHONE, I just read the FAQ. I realise that I criticise alot of these pastas, but I hope you’re not interpreting it as me complaining about them. I’m just giving my two cents here, so please don’t take offense or anything to my criticisms. Thanks, again, for the many sleepless nights from this site!
October 7th, 2008 at 9:33 am
What a good tale.
Would anyone care from some of this red- uh, strawberry drink?
October 7th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
Why not just break into it? Or keep putting in money until you get a green? This pasta is just too beatable.
October 7th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
Ok, but what if it’s orange? Or dark purple?
October 7th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
a vending machine of evil oh noes
October 8th, 2008 at 2:00 am
Oh, I get it. The machine gives you a possessed version of Mountain Dew.
October 8th, 2008 at 2:57 am
So… what if you obtain the red drink, only drink a sip and not the whole thing, and you’re one of those people that are just curious and wants to see if it works?
Does only drinking a sip still count as drinking the whole thing?
And it’s normally hard to see inside of a can.. the color of the drink, I mean. Dark. Couldn’t you get something to suck a sample out and then pour it out to see the color? :/
And I wonder if giving it to someone else and having them drink it would have the same effect..
October 9th, 2008 at 8:48 am
And if you drink the one marked Red Bull, it’ll give you wiiiiiiiiiiiings!!!
October 11th, 2008 at 10:30 am
LOL! Anon E. Mouse… Hahaha, that was funny.
Anyways
The only thing demonic about vending machines is the way my package of chips always gets stuck in them. Grr.
October 14th, 2008 at 4:26 am
Hey Pew Pew Laser Gun, I am color blind. And I’m sure if I ever went to this town I’d screw it all up, lol. This pasta was fairly good, I liked the atmosphere and the prize and the punishment are pretty good too.
October 14th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
:/ Hm this ones ok although I really like the concept prehaps a diffrent setting would have been nice ….The nagain if it’s 20 years old I don’t see it hiding in your base ment at 7 at night.
October 21st, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Do you have to drink it? What happens if you buy 2 and drink 2 greens, or better yet a red then a green?
October 29th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
Hmmm…Vending machines luff me, once after gym, me and my friends were all thirsty , but I only had a dollar at the moment, so I went to get a bottle of water out of a vending machine with the dollar, and he gave me 4 FUCKING BOTTLES!! XDD just enough for me and my friends
Nice pasta, btw. XD
