Which Comic Con are you talking about? There are hundreds, and I didn’t spot a location in the article.

The look on the little girl’s face in the first image alone was enough to make the vending machine a success.

Jeez! There’s a little girl out there!
How old?
I don’t know… six or seven?
Get the fairy wings!
Fairy wings?
Yes, in that box back over there… I got two packs of them at the dollar store!
These?
No!!! Those are condoms!
These?
Yes… thank god.
I am never working this booth again.

It’s like my favorite SCP come to life! (Or as close as we can get in reality, anyway)

That’s truly funny… yet it brings up the fact that the machine operators (who, obviously, could observe the users) could tailor the item to any particular user. I mean, what could it have been about a user that earned him/her a plunger? There was no mention about the operators “flipping a coin” back there, so to speak.
