sarahmichelefHere in the beginning of the 21st century, we have a lot of really fabulous technology. Nearly instant global communication. The X-Prize has been won. Hybrid and coming-soon fuel cell vehicles. And yet we cannot do two things:
1) Make a damned low-flow toilet that actually WORKS.
2) Come up with a way to get a Butterfinger Bar out of a vending machine without breaking it.

As for item 2 ... without breaking the bar - or the vending machine?
The devil's in the details...
Perhaps if they did not put them on top...

Nitpicker. The bar.

Perhaps. Although the UMass machines put them pretty low down and they STILL come out busted.
