So, remember that amazing vending machine that, um, amazed us West Zoners? Well, it was replenished today (and much to Kandace and Emily’s delight, our soda machine now has a full supply of Diet Dr Pepper).

Yes, there’s much rejoicing on this Halloween. But, how do you explain this trash can filled with expired munchies? Most items are a week or so past their prime, and all of them are still vacuum-sealed and appropriate for consumption.

So, neighborsgo nation, I ask, what do y’all think about this? The West Zone crew is perplexed (and hungry -- we spent a chunk of the morning discussing snacks around the overburdened receptacle). Anyone have a problem digging through the trash, cuz we West Zone editors sure don’t!
