The contents of the coke machine are largely determined by whoever does the coke run. So if you want something else in the coke machine, go out and buy it. If you haven't done a coke run before, the short version is look at supermarket catalogues (either paper or at [http://supermarket-specials.com.au/ Supermarket specials]), find cheap drinks (50c/can or cheaper is a good deal for most drinks, but harder to find for Coke these days), buy them, bring them in to UCC and get reimbursed when you hand over the receipt. The machine holds around 50 cans per slot, and all flavours have one slot except Coke, which has four. The contents of the coke machine are largely determined by whoever does the coke run.

How to do a Coke/Cash & Carry run

The contents of the coke machine are largely determined by whoever does the coke run. So if you want something else in the coke machine, go out and buy it. If you haven't done a coke run before, the short version is look at supermarket catalogues (either paper or at Supermarket specials), find cheap drinks (50c/can or cheaper is a good deal for most drinks, but harder to find for Coke these days), buy them, bring them in to UCC and get reimbursed when you hand over the receipt. The machine holds around 50 cans per slot, and all flavours have one slot except Coke, which has four.
