INSTEAD, BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR...

- Cold Food Vending Machines! These neato refrigerated units feature excellent options, like fat-free yogurt. Our personal favorite is Yoplait Light a wacky take on the new Yoplait Light cake flavors!
- 100-Calorie Packs!
- Fully Loaded Cold Beverage Machines! Staying hydrated is KEY to avoiding mindless snacking. Most of these machines dispense bottled water, diet iced tea, and diet soda. If you're parched, those really are the best way to go. We don't trust those cappuccino machines and the creamy, sugar-packed stuff they churn out.
