Man Fired for Using Forklift to Free Stuck Twix Bars From Vending Machine

My ex-girlfriend said she once showed her cans to her next door neighbor for a KitKat, but this is even more on the ridiculous side.

An Iowa man lost his job after using his company’s forklift to shake the crap out of a vending machine that wouldn’t spit out his Twix bars.

27-year-old Robert McKevitt told the Des Moines Register that when he put a dollar in a vending machine at Polaris Industries, the Twix he purchased became stuck. When he put another dollar in, nothing happened. Naturally, he then shook the machine like an English nanny, but that also did not rectify the situation.

That’s when McKevitt allegedly grabbed the company’s 8,000-pound forklift, lifted the vending machine two feet in the air, and slammed it on the ground at least six times, a move that netted him three sets of the delicious cookie bars even though he only paid for two.

When his supervisor confronted him about it five days later, McKevitt says he was shown the door.

For the record, a six-pack of full-size Twix bars goes for about three bucks at Walmart.

Seriously, he might have needed a forklift for this Twix bar: Super-Sized Candy Will Make You Hungry (And A Little Sick)
