Luckily, you receive stronger string for future use.

I insert a guitar pick.

The machine is faulty, and doesn't give you anything. You smash is around a bit, but still it refuses to give you anything.

You receive a copy of Worms Forts Under Siege when you really wanted a copy of Worms4 Mayhem, and you hit the machine with a Tail Nail.

You receive apathy. Exactly how you know this is uncertain, but you are distinctly aware of the machine emanating a large amount of apathy. This leads to a scientific breakthrough in AI subroutines. The vending machine becomes a local celebrity, and you merely get a job as its lowly assistant. You vow that one day you shall have your revenge, until you are unfortunately crushed by a stray meteorite.

I insert a coin-shaped roll of floss.
There was a signature here. It's gone now.

You receive two dice. You roll a two and a four, and a monster eats you. You die not knowing the cause or logic behind your death, or even if the two incidents are related.

I was going to insert a coin, but my Future Self just travelled back from THE FUTURE to warn me against doing so. Cheeky git inserted a coin himself, instead.

Your Future Self recieves a nifty time-travelling device! Your future self runs off with it towards the local lake without saying a word, but accidentally leaves behind an identical-looking - and similarly functional - machine.

And so, you thoroughly enjoy hopping through time and space... until you witness your own horrific death. After casting the device into the closet for a month and living with abject depression, you have an idea and get the time travel device back out one last time - in an attempt to stop yourself ever having recieved it.

It doesn't go as planned.

You recieve a large set of capitalization and punctuation. You, realizing you don't really need it so much, give it to Alien King, who mistakes it for toilet paper.

I insert a coin in hopes of recieving a backup soul.

You recieve a back-up sole. You feel cheated. On the plus side, you have a spare sole.

After randomly belching out 9-foot flames for a few seconds, the machine produces a mint.
