This is a historic moment for The Video Game Soda Machine Project, folks. Across 37 years and 50+ games, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have battled through sewers, streets, and even the space-time continuum without encountering a single soda machine.

Feast your eyes on the Pond Cola machine from TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge! Here’s a video clip showing the destructible subway soda slinger in action…

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp added these soda machines as part of its July 2022 Summertime Festival 3. I can only assume that Tom Nook has cornered the market and owns both the island’s Coke knockoff and its ersatz Pepsi.

This soda machine from Redfall features some excellent fake soda brands: Citrus Fun Da, Dr. Ray, Swell Swell, Sunny ‘n-all, Jitter Bug. But what are all the vampire supposed to drink?

Thanks for the submission, Klil!

It seems there’s a new Fortnite vending machine among us! Just load up Fortnite’s new (and completely original) Imposters mode, head to the food court, and you’ll find this machine selling snacks and drinks.

We all know about Slurm (“It’s highly addictive!”), but the 2003 Futurama platformer would also like to introduce you to Shiz Cola.

This was yet another streaming discovery, so be sure to follow me on Twitch. You never know when a new soda machine will pop up!
