No comment yet on saddest movie.
Last time I used a vending machine was at Costco for a bottle of water. for every other vending item vending machines are way overpriced.
not the saddest, but the weepiest: Field of Dreams
Doritos and Dr. Pepper: my keep-awake combo for driving.
B) Man Called Otto. Made the mistake of watching this while on a flight and I was crying. Other than Schindlers List, I can’t remember any other movie making me cry.
C) very rarely food but if on the road I’ll buy a bottled water or Diet Coke from a vending machine.
B) I'm not really into sad movies, but the scene in Gladiator where Maximus discovers the corpses of his wife and son gets me every time.
C) Red Bull or Protein shake
B) Last House on the Left
C) Moon pies
Rotary phones and landlines; push button car transmissions and manual shifts; pencil and paper calculations and typing pools; I still pull out my slide rule on occasion just to keep in practice - when the light go out in the future, those with slide rules will rule the world!
A Dog of Flanders, followed closely by the Gettysburg miniseries, especially Pickett's Charge
Nacho Cheese Doritos
B: Terms of Endearment. Was always a sad movie, but after my mother passed away of cancer, it is now absolutely devastating. Shirley MacLaine is just unbelievable in that movie. She fucking nailed it.
C: Chex Mix.
B} The Notebook.
C} soda, chips or candy bars.
B) Not a big movie buff.
C) Usually only get drinks from vending machines. Gatorade or Coke Zero most likely.

B) Silent Running I guess.
C) Honey bun.

One thing that I remember was really common was teenage girls dating older guys and blatantly. Nowadays, I think that doesn’t really fly.
Another thing way different is schools, with the customer-is-always-right ways of handling “discipline.” I grew up in a time that when students talked during a test, it gets taken and they get an automatic zero. Nowadays, it’s mind boggling how low the consequences are.
B) saddest movie for me is probably Of Mice and Men
C) I’d be most likely to select a bag of Takis or Dr Pepper (but not at the same time)
B) I'll 2nd "Brian's Song". And "Serendipity" out of joy at the ending; I'm living one like this now.
C) Milky Way and 3 Musketeer bars
@ATACdawg "push button car transmissions and manual shifts". Honda actually has a few current vehicles with push button transmissions, and I'm thinking that the current Civic SI and Civic Type R are still manual transmission only models. Honda 6 speed manuals are freakin' awesome!
@gammanu95 I even used one system that had an 8" floppy drive...ha! As for the sad movie question, I'm not sure that I've ever *intended* to watch a sad movie, but I've found myself watching one whether I intended to or not...
@jaybud999 Oh geez, I HATE burning my mouth on something that is WAY hotter inside than it looks on the outside. I'm pretty sure that old school apple pie you mentioned got me at least a few times...
@Rightfield Don't fans of the winning team in the ALA-TENN football game still light up cigars in celebration of victory???
@PAWG_Patrol Porn in the woods?!? Really?!? I had no idea that was a thing! Guess it's time for me to go hiking... ;-)
