Joey Verola takes a break from his busy Mafia schedule to admire this retro soda machine in Made Man for the PlayStation 2!

Check out Sergeant Ben Mitchell mean muggin’ in front of a soda machine in The Getaway: Black Monday for the PlayStation 2!

The first rule of the underground fight club circuit in True Crime: New York City is don’t talk about fight club. The second rule, oddly enough, is that fight club venues must have a soda machine present at all times.
I especially like the Carbonated Sugar vending machine in this second screenshot.

Thanks for the tip, Jonah!

It looks like this guy overindulged at the ol’ soda box and decided to take a little nap in True Crime: Streets of LA. Thanks, Jonah!

Thanks for tracking down these Diet Squish and Fizzy Kola machines in Condemned: Criminal Origins, Jonah!

Hidden Folks is an update on the classic Where’s Waldo? format, featuring hand-drawn graphics and the occasional soda machine. Thanks, Katanasteel!

If you expect to save the world from an army of evil teddy bears, proper hydration is a must! Grab a drink from the Cola Bear machine and kick their furry little butts in Sneaky Bears, a VR action game for the PS4 and Windows. Thanks, Chris!

I ollied a park bench, did a 720 into a moto whip, followed by a bunny hop barspin into a suicide no-hand, and finished with a double soda machine find in Dave Mirra BMX Challenge for the Wii.

Speak of the devil! I just mentioned Dave Mirra in the last entry, and now here’s a vending machine from the Game Boy Color version of Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX.

BMX XXX is for all those people who played a Dave Mirra or Mat Hoffman game and thought, “This needs more casual nudity!” This particular stage from the GameCube version seems to borrow from a similar level in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, but at least the soda machines are original!
