Maybe you already know this, but individuals with Autism sometimes fixate on things. These things might be ordinary items, like needing to carry around the same toy. Sometimes what an Autist (cool word - I just saw it online!) fixates on might seem unusual to the rest of us, but it can bring him/her comfort, familiarity, or a sensory release. Our sweet little Autist, Isaiah, likes to push the buttons on Coke machines.
Tim and I have been saying for a long time that one of these days Isaiah is going to get lucky. And did he ever. This kid hit the jackpot!
After we left the aquarium,we let Isaiah push buttons on the Coke machines that were outside, in between the aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola. Guess.What.Happened. The machine started whistling, hooting, and hollering. And out popped.....a Coke in a can coozie and a football! That's right. A football! (The next day, we saw the coozie ($5!) and the football ($12!) in the gift shop. Score!!!
The winning machine! People who were standing around at the time thought it was pretty cool. They kept hanging around trying to get something for free, too. HA!
The World of Coca-Cola
There it is! The entrance to the vault! What is that secret recipe?!?!
Yeah, it's in there. They lied. They didn't show it to us. Sigh.
Coke machines have been around for a long time!
4D movie time!
Time for the taste test! My personal favorite was the Pineapple Crush. Too bad I would have to go all the way to South America to get it...
Not too bad...
Oh my! Did you just hear my burp?!
Blech.
That's too spicy! (That's how Mallory describes Sprite. LOL)
