Beavis and Butt-Head Do Hollywood
Beavis picks his nose in front of a soda pop machine in a November 1998 prototype of Beavis and Butt-Head Do Hollywood, an unreleased game for the PlayStation 1! Also known as Beavis and Butt-Head in Hollywood, the game was previewed at E3 in 1998 and showed up in various gaming magazines before disappearing like Daria Morgendorffer after she transferred to Lawndale High School.
What I played of the leaked build was pretty janky and incomplete, but at least the development team took care of the important stuff first. Namely, implementing a soda machine.
You can read more about Beavis and Butt-Head Do Hollywood at the Hidden Palace and the Lost Media Wiki.

The Simpsons: Tapped Out
Mobile city-builder The Simpsons: Tapped Out features this Scammer & Z-Dog vending machine, originally seen in the Season 16 episode “The Heartbroke Kid.” In addition to being filled with sugary drinks and snacks, the machine cycles through a few different visuals featuring the duo. It’s like Scammer always says, “Don’t flava-hate, participate!”
Here’s another look at the vending machine in the build menu, sandwiched between some, uh, questionable options. Springfield zoning remains extremely permissive.
Oh, and there’s also a vending machine outside Tapped Out’s truck stop diner!
The Simpsons: Tapped Out went offline in 2025, but I was still able to grab these screenshots thanks to Project Springfield, an incredible private server and preservation project keeping this game alive.
