Neat stocking decal in a Cavalier (pics)

[tkaz]

I came across an interesting decal on the inside of a CSS-8-64, giving the stocking percentages based on demographic.  I haven't seen one before, its pretty beat up, but you can read all of it.  Here's what it says:

STOCKING GUIDE
FOR
VENDING MACHINES

IF THE CUSTOMERS         OF YOUR MACHINE ARE:	TRY STOCKING IT         THIS WAY TO INCREASE SALES:
A - MALE	Coca-Cola....................66% Sprite..........................14% TAB..............................4% Fresca..........................3% Fanta Flavors & Mr. Pibb 13%
B - FEMALE	Coca-Cola....................60% Sprite..........................16% TAB.............................11% Fresca..........................3% Fanta Flavors & Mr. Pibb 10%
C - YOUTH	Coca-Cola....................62% Sprite..........................16% TAB..............................2% Fresca..........................3% Fanta Flavors & Mr. Pibb 17%
D - BLUE COLLAR	Coca-Cola....................64% Sprite..........................16% TAB..............................6% Fresca..........................3% Fanta Flavors & Mr. Pibb 11%

MORE SALES MEANS MORE DOLLARS

What happened to the other 3% for males? Is that for spillage?

[RED SPARKS]

Proves what we have thought all along...  Women love Tab.

Got the Fanta and Mr. Pibb wrong, 13%, although I'd like to believe that 3% should be the non-soda option

[halehouse]

That's cool.
I like me some Mr. Pibb! Knock that % up a bit!

Interesting it would have been easier for the person stocking the machine if they just put the amount of
bottles instead of percentages.....LOL

Come to think of it, that is kind of odd. A Cavalier 64, so you'd put two Frescas or three Tabs on a shelf?

[oscar]

You would have to give Tab 1 whole shelf. What a waste. Unless it's in a factory full of women. I can see how you could lose money if it wasn't stocked right.
