#i'm pretty sure sprite blue isn't real but i have done 0 research for this because it's still a draft

I need to know.. What is: a perfectly ordinary soda machine?

(Referring to this post.)

Haha, I thought somebody would ask about that one!

It's my attempt at writing up... I guess it would be fanfic? For SCP-261, the vending machine that gives you weird stuff. The concept is that there's this one security guard who only gets "normal" things from the machine, no matter what. (Sort of like that one researcher who only gets apple seeds, no matter what.) Sure, it might be in a different language, or maybe they haven't made that flavor since 1982, but it's all stuff that could or does exist in our own dimension. The security guard thinks everyone who claims to have gotten a weird or dangerous thing from the machine is just hazing her.

Item description: “Sprite Blue” – A 12 oz aluminum can of carbonated soda, packaging in Russian. “Now with Berry Flavor” written on can. Agent was observed to say “oh, that’s new,” but further questioning revealed that she was referring to the fact that the product dispensed was in a metal can, rather than a plastic bottle. Upon learning that Sprite Blue does not exist, Agent seemed unphased, remarking that she “couldn’t keep track of every soda brand out there.” No anomalous properties detected.
