The story of Pixel Punch

Pixel Punch was the only drink in the vending machine at the arcade, and somehow it tasted like high scores. The can had chunky square fruit drawn like a game screen. Kids balanced it on top of the cabinets while they played, which caused at least one sticky disaster every Saturday. Quarters went in, punch came out.

Fun fact

Legend said if you hit the vending machine just right, it dropped two cans, but nobody could ever prove it.
