Journey to the Savage Planet
These pressurized cans of Grob food paste from Journey to the Savage Planet aren’t exactly soda, but they’re definitely savage. Thanks for the screenshot, KukaBarnus!

World of Horror
This vending machine is a random encounter in World of Horror, a creeptastic 1-bit RPG set in Shiokawa, Japan. Just be careful not to fail your dexterity check when buying a soda. Otherwise, your hand gets caught in the machine and you end up injuring yourself when you jerk it out. Bummer.
Asphalt Overdrive
Cool off with an ice-cold Halvaad or Pealan soda in mobile racer Asphalt Overdrive! As an added bonus, I tracked down a video that features work-in-progress versions of Asphalt Overdrive’s garage environment, featuring Frosty and Springer vending machines in place of Halvaad and Pealan, respectively.
Lair of the Clockwork God
Tick-tock. Time is running out to prevent the apocalypse(s) in point-and-click platformer Lair of the Clockwork God, so grab a quick drink and a snack from this vending machine and get to work. Thanks for the screenshot, Hoosegow Flask!
Bearville
Build-A-Bear Workshop shut down its Bearville virtual world back in 2015, but I was able to salvage a screenshot of this vending machine. It was located at the entrance to the Bearville Zoo, an area initially accessible only to the service’s VIBs — you know, Very Important Bears.
Convention Quest
Convention Quest is a homebrew NES game created for the 2019 Let’s Play Gaming Expo in Irving, Texas, and limited to 300 copies. Not only does the game include soda machines, but there’s even a quest that involves finding the right soda machine where you can buy a drink for a fellow conventioneer in need of a boost.
Thanks to SoleGoose for bringing this one to my attention!
Megami Ibunroku Persona
I’ve gotta be honest: I’m kinda curious what the sodas in Megami Ibunroku Persona’s corrupted demon shadow world taste like. Probably RC Cola.
Thanks for the screenshots, Tikhon!
3on3 Freestyle
Ho, ho, ho! Merry basketball Christmas! 3on3 Freestyle features this seasonal soda machine as part of its annual Christmas celebration. If you prefer something a little spookier, how about this trick or treat-themed soda machine from 3on3’s Halloween event?
Star Fetchers
The soda machines in Star Fetchers, a ’90s-inspired action adventure, dispense delicious flavors like, uh, American BBQ and Indian stew.
Thanks for the screenshots, Tikhon!
Final Fantasy VII Remake
Spike McLeod poses in front of some drink machines in Final Fantasy VII. I still can’t believe they changed his name for the remake.
Thanks for alerting me to this one, Eric!
