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 [=

  2. 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.

  3. Souris, the same thing crossed my mind when I was writing out the title… but eh, I still like it.

  4. THEN WHO WAS SOFT DRINK PRODUCER?

    Honestly, enough with the mysterious villages.

  5. Bacon Oct 6th 2008

    What about the village people? Do they drink from the soda machine?

  6. Bacon Oct 6th 2008

    Oops, I’m an idiot.

  7. 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

  8. Chinchillazilla Oct 6th 2008

    I need that green drink. NEED it.

    /my luck is terrible

  9. I can’t wait for the one about the demonic iPod.

  10. Silent Oct 6th 2008

    I’ve got a load of old 10pence coins, let’s test it, road trip anyone?

  11. lolol Oct 6th 2008

    And if the drink is brown and tastes of an all natural blend of 23 different flavors…you hit the wrong button.

  12. asdfghjkl Oct 6th 2008

    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.

  13. Miss Betterdone Oct 6th 2008

    Can we buy more than one?

    Easy ritual is easy.

  14. Sanya Oct 6th 2008

    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?

  15. Dr.Creepy Oct 6th 2008

    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.

  16. Random Reader Oct 6th 2008

    The first thing I thought was “What?! they have Ecstazy in machines?!”

  17. Xantherian Oct 6th 2008

    @ Toad

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think there already is.

  18. Reptilian Liar Oct 6th 2008

    lol, vending machines. I MEAN, OMG, SCARY!

  19. Reptilian Liar Oct 6th 2008

    Hi!

  20. MonkeyFace Oct 6th 2008

    What do you do with it if it’s red?

  21. Mr. Valiant Oct 6th 2008

    umg, let teh bawdies hit teh flore

  22. Guy With Teh Face Oct 6th 2008

    THEN WHO WAS “E”?

    Weird story, I wasn’t quite fond of it.

  23. Knowledge Oct 6th 2008

    coke is good

  24. Hannana Oct 6th 2008

    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

  25. @ Xantherian

    Please, for the love of all that is creepy, be wrong.

  26. Frozen Oct 6th 2008

    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.

  27. It’s seems we are running out of mysterious objects to curse. A vending machine?

  28. DJLoONa Oct 6th 2008

    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

  29. SexualBubblegum Oct 6th 2008

    The green one reminds me of ’slurm’ from Futurama…

  30. Abbey Oct 7th 2008

    I like that fact that if its red it will take one of your senses every 10 years.. thats kind of all.

  31. Abbey Oct 7th 2008

    lol @ toad

  32. I’m never drinking fruit punch again…

  33. YAHWEH Oct 7th 2008

    I’ve actually been to that village.:D

  34. Pew Pew Laser Gun Oct 7th 2008

    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!

  35. Sigma Oct 7th 2008

    What a good tale.
    Would anyone care from some of this red- uh, strawberry drink?

  36. Why not just break into it? Or keep putting in money until you get a green? This pasta is just too beatable.

  37. Omnius Oct 7th 2008

    Ok, but what if it’s orange? Or dark purple?

  38. LOLWUT? Oct 7th 2008

    a vending machine of evil oh noes

  39. Darth Navi Oct 8th 2008

    Oh, I get it. The machine gives you a possessed version of Mountain Dew.

  40. Lilith Oct 8th 2008

    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..

  41. Anon E. Mouse Oct 9th 2008

    And if you drink the one marked Red Bull, it’ll give you wiiiiiiiiiiiings!!!

  42. Two-Bit Oct 11th 2008

    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.

  43. Kar-zid Oct 14th 2008

    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.

  44. The Tainted Truth Oct 14th 2008

    :/ 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.

  45. Anonymous Oct 21st 2008

    Do you have to drink it? What happens if you buy 2 and drink 2 greens, or better yet a red then a green?

  46. subLImal mEsSaging Oct 29th 2008

    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

  47. But what if you just don’t drink it?

    What does it taste like?

  48. www.wowomg.com Dec 29th 2008

    just get the regular mountain dew.

    not the CODE RED one.

  49. the only good mountain dew is voltage

    there, i said it

  50. UnKnOwNuSeR Jan 6th 2009

    Its not bad, pretty good really just that…well if you get the red drink just dont drink it. If they added say…a penalty for not drinking it or you have to pass it one to someone in said days it would be better.

    But in the end its very good

  51. Midnightgirl Jan 21st 2009

    that stupid vending machine stole my money :(

  52. insinuendo Feb 18th 2009

    Why “E”? Why not something else?

  53. Haley Mar 8th 2009

    This sounds like a story you’d write for a state writing test in highschool.
    The other day I had to take one, and one of the prompts you could choose was “Write a story with the title The Open Window, The hidden shoebox, or the missing letter”

  54. Anonymous Mar 19th 2009

    E-can ala Megaman. LOL

  55. lolwut Mar 19th 2009

    Megaman, E-can, got it already?

  56. Anonymous Apr 12th 2009

    A village?
    With a soft-drink machine?
    Retarded.

  57. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait a sec. How would anyone know you got an “unusually long life span” if the drinks are only 20 yeras old? Wouldn’t it have made more sense if it were a well or something?

    *Head explodes*

  58. Hold on a sec. How would anyone know you got an “unusually long life span” if the drinks are only 20 yeras old? Wouldn’t it have made more sense if it were a well or something?

    *Head explodes*

  59. Outbreak Jun 8th 2009

    I wonder if it tastes good. o:

  60. Anonymous Jul 8th 2009

    Thanks for the warning, bro.

  61. Bertz Sep 7th 2009

    what happened to the villagers?

  62. PaperPasta Dec 29th 2009

    Good observation GIR.
    I guess since it’s an old village then 20 years may seem like an unnatural lifespan as they don’t have today’s … medical technology?
