It isn’t quite the same thing as the other Coca Cola Friendship Machines. I’ve heard the previous one in Argentina stands at 12 feet tall, and basically requires a buddy to help boost your reach to buy your coke. The machine rewards the friendship by dispensing two Cokes instead of one.
This one’s a little different. You just got to give it a nice hug. The trick, of course, is to figure out how to give that hug. If you do… you get your reward! No need to spend any money, no up-front investment.
I’m told that there’s a second Friendship Machine located within University Town. I don’t know exactly where. Have fun finding it though!
