Neatorama reader Sarah Lustberg spotted this brilliant idea on her way to work in East Village, New York City: a gumball machine selling "ideas" for 50¢ each! Too bad she didn’t buy one … Thanks Sarah!

Half a dollar for a fortune cookie without the cookie? What a ripoff.
I know a few characters in the East village who would rather have the 50 cents. But still I’m curious to see what it is.
Does Sarah know where this is located exactly?
People are talking -
- and people are leaving.
America could turn into martial law tomorrow and many of us wouldn’t be surprised one bit. Most of us would continue licking our XBOXes and WIIs, posting on our blogs, and paying taxes to the dictatorship, whining about where the money goes while continuing to fund the source of their frustration.
Unmanned drones flying over forests looking for marijuana (didn’t George Washington say something about spreading the hemp seed? Yes, hemp and marijuana differences, I know),
helicopters with FLIR gazing at infrared screens,
all in an effort to prevent citizens from growing their own medicine.
The street price of marijuana stays up high, rather than plummeting through legalization to the price of green tea, drug lords giggling along with corrupt law enforcement, people paying and begging their doctors for less effective, addictive pills to pop,
No coffins being shown on American TV news, it’s all about distraction,
Two parties anally stuffed by Corporations and Big Pharma,
Non violent drug offenders and file sharers thrown into prison to be anally raped by gang members and introduced into the possibility of dying from AIDS,
Katrina opened the eyes of many around the world,
The television is the worst drug of them all, and it’s legal,
People programmed to obey,
Hallucinogenic plants demonized (war on perception, control the media control the mind), medical studies of these plants eliminated for years,
(Read Food of the Gods by Terence Mckenna)
Marijuana still Schedule I with no medicinal benefit which is a lie, while Foxglove and Datura are legal and both could easily kill you if misused,
People are moving OUT of America, they are tired of the brainwashing, “If you don’t like it here leave” “No, I’ll stay and make a difference” doesn’t matter any more, the system in America refuses change.
When you love your country but everyone around you is asleep and no one wants to participate in their local government because they are all too busy working to pay taxes and ever rising costs on everything in a fake economy, when and where does change happen?
The NL is looking more and more attractive every day.
Learn a second language and investigate your options, or get involved in your local government and work for change. If you value your privacy use Tor (torproject.org), GPG (gnupg.org) with the enigmail plugin add-on for Thunderbird, Truecrypt (truecrypt.org) and an open source operating system like Ubuntu Linux (https://shipit.ubuntu.com).
Not sure but this looks like the bodega on Ave A right across Tompkins Square Park. If remember correctly between 9th and 10th Sts. But don’t quote me on that.
want to know what percentage of the population is really stupid? its in most states around 73.3 people. now, what makes you think that they aren’t the ones putting the ideas in?
I think this is the place I got the idea to get this V E R Y weird hairstyle. =d
a big fat LOL for the “Penny for a gumball Mickey!” post. my husband and i quote that commercial all the time – but we quote this part…whenever one has some cash in hand.
kid #1 “what’re you gonna do with all that money?
kid #2 “buy more gumballs!”
Idea: buy a gumball machine and sell ideas for the low, low price of 25 cents.
dude … i have never seen such an original idea put in a bulk vending machine. Like anything sells these days it seems.
get refills for these machines at http://www.gumballcity.com/bulk_gumballs.php
THIS MACHINE IS FROM ZOOMDOGGLE!!… its 50 cents but they give u a quarter in the ball! haha u missed out
I think this machine is brilliant! Whoever made this must have earn him a fortune right now. I’ll try to research and make custom written papers out of it.
Not completely sure but this looks like the bodega on Ave A right across Tompkins Square Park…
