There are many different snacks and drinks that the vending machines have to offer. The machines sell Gatorade, Kickstarts, Propel, and water. As for snacks they offer a wide range of chips and other yummy snacks. The snack/food options in the vending machines cost $1.25, and the all drinks cost $1.50.  So, what are some new snacks and drinks students would like to see in the vending machines?

Lucas Fidelis, 10^th grade, said, “I would like to see a bigger variety of snacks and the portions are to small. I would be better if they gave you more of the snack and offered different kinds of sodas.” Some students want more healthy options and low sugar foods. Amina Karazoun, 10^th grade, said, “Even though they do offer granola bars, I would like to see more healthy options and low carb protein shakes and bars.”

Many students have certain dietary restrictions. Nataile Henahan, 9^th grade, said, “Not all kids drink kickstarts, and some parents won’t even let their kids have them. Sometimes it can be hard to get through the day, so I think they should give us a coffee option. Maybe some Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts.” Many students don’t know but in there is a vending machine in the café that offers free breakfast for students every morning. The vending machines can help students in many ways, for example when a student forgets their lunch they can get snacks and drinks from the vending machines.

Ms. Lang commented in response to the students wanting healthier options saying, “I think its a great idea. Most of the food is already healthy. The pop-tarts contain whole wheat and the PB and J contain protein. The only problem is that  they order whats on the bid. They have to stay in budget and healthier options would be more expensive.”
