I've been monitoring a disturbing development in the vending machine in our break room. The very last bag of Cheetos has failed to fall from its lofty screw-advancing perch.

Several days ago it sat slightly askew - but not dangling - making it appear certain that just another purchase would liberate this savory, cheesy snack. Alas, it was not meant to be. Over the days, several tortured souls have wagered money only to watch the advancing screw turn and turn, all for naught. Now that sad little bag of delicious cheesiness is trapped like a frightened animal underneath the treat-advancing screw mechanism. No amount of additional purchases - not even a spastically uncoordinated grab-the-sides-of-the-machine-and-shake - could save it now.

Stand firm, delicious cheese snack, the White Knight from Aramark will liberate you Wednesday.
