55p for a can of Pepsi Max? That's pretty bad, but I'm a captive audience, so i live with it. Put two 20ps in, then a 10p, then a 5p, the 5p comes back out, rejected. Hmm, annoying, I put the samer 5p back in and it rejects it again. Very annoying. I try it one last time and it accepts.
Why on earth do vending machines do that? It was exactly the same coin, so why on earth didn't it accept it first time around?

Not sure why I'm replying in here when you're sat right next to me playing Neopets...but anyway, I bought a can from the canteen this morning, as the vending machines don't do Dr. Pepper, and they were 57p in there. I'll stick to the vending machine in future.

No no, its all the brand names. All the juice is delivered directly from Britvic so they get it at a good price.

You're right. It was about 10 years ago when cans were that price. I think it's better to buy cans in bulk now. I recently purchased a 12 pack for £3.49, which works out at 29p a can, roughly.
Espressos there can cost ten euros. Those ones in tiny tiny cups.

The vending machines at my school charge 80p for a can of coke/pepsi, so think yourself lucky.
