Here's what you'll find in the coloring book:
Meet Barry. Today's his first day at SnackCorp Industries, and he's already eyeing the vending machine in the lobby like it owes him money. What Barry doesn't know yet is that his new cubicle neighbor is Carl the Cobra — and Carl does NOT share snacks. This is going to be a problem.
Day 2 at SnackCorp. Barry found the break room vending machine — but there's a handwritten sign taped to it: "RESERVED FOR CARL. DO NOT TOUCH." Barry looked left. Looked right. Bought THREE honey buns. The war has begun.
Carl switched the vending machine labels so every button Barry pressed dropped a toy rubber badger instead of snacks. Barry now has five rubber badgers and zero snacks. Carl is behind the office plant wheezing.
Barry woke up at 5 AM. Bought 47 energy drinks from the vending machine. Built a pyramid on Carl's desk that would make the Egyptians jealous. The sign on top? "You look tired, Carl." Carl hasn't blinked in 4 minutes.
Barry walked outside to his parking spot and found... a vending machine. Carl is leaning against it, sipping a cold one, wearing sunglasses. The sign reads: "Barry's New Office." HR has been notified. HR is also laughing.
SnackCorp's annual softball game. Barry swings and — SPLAT. The ball explodes into colorful pieces. Carl replaced all the baseballs with giant gumballs from the toy vending machine. Barry is covered in grape flavor.
Company picnic. Carl opens his fancy lunch box: Doritos. Snickers. Skittles. And a note: "Upgrade courtesy of Barry." Barry is across the table eating Carl's sushi with chopsticks he clearly doesn't know how to use.
Quarterly meeting. Barry clicks to slide 2 and — it's a photo of a vending machine with a heart around it. Slide 3: Barry hugging a vending machine. Carl changed every single slide. The CEO is trying not to laugh.
Barry stayed late to set up his next prank. But when he snuck past Carl's office... Carl's computer screen: the BMFS Vending Academy website. His desk: covered in vending business plans and profit calculations. Carl has been secretly studying how to start a vending business.
Barry didn't set a prank. He set a meeting. Coffee shop. One napkin slid across the table: "Partners?" Carl stared at it. "You're serious?" "Dead serious. You've got the brains. I've got the hustle." The longest pause in SnackCorp history. "...Fine. But I get to name the company."
Day 1 at the BMFS Vending Academy. Barry is taking notes so fast his pen is smoking. Carl already built a spreadsheet and a 5-year projection — and they're still on Module 1. Barry wrote "STEP 1: BUY ALL THE HONEY BUNS." Carl crossed it out.
Module 2: Legal Setup. First task — name your business. Barry's ideas: "Badger Bites Vending." "Honey Bun Empire." Carl's ideas: "Cobra Capital Vending." "SlitherSnacks Inc." Three hours later: "B&C Vending Co." Barry wanted the B first. Carl says it stands for "Carl" in reverse.
Module 3: Machine Selection. Barry fell in love with a 1987 gumball machine. "It has CHARACTER, Carl!" Carl is next to a $15,000 smart vending machine with a touchscreen. The salesperson has aged 10 years in 20 minutes.
Module 4: Location Scouting. Barry went to a gym. Tried to pitch while flexing. Pulled a muscle. Got escorted out. Carl went to an office building. Smooth presentation with charts. Landed it in 15 minutes. Scoreboard: Carl 1, Barry 0.
Everyone counted Barry out. But Barry went to a LAUNDROMAT. People sitting for 45 minutes with nothing to do? Hungry. Thirsty. Kids want toys. Barry's machine made $127 in the first week. Carl's jaw hit the floor. Scoreboard: Carl 1, Barry 1.
Module 5: Product Strategy. AKA "Taste Testing Day." Barry's approach: eat one of everything. Carl's approach: scientific rating system. But he's been secretly eating Hot Cheetos behind his clipboard for 20 minutes. They've "tested" $200 worth of inventory.
Module 6: Cashless Payments. Carl is tangled in wires. Barry is reading the manual upside down. The machine beeped in a language neither speaks. A customer is standing there with Apple Pay ready, watching two animals lose a fight with technology.
*DING* "$1.75 — Vending Sale." Barry threw confetti he'd been carrying for three weeks. Carl is pretending he's not crying (he's definitely crying). Their first sale. The beginning of everything.
Week 1 earnings: $347. Barry wants to buy ANOTHER machine immediately. Carl wants to frame the first dollar bill. They compromised: framed the dollar AND ordered a second machine. $347/week = $1,388/month from ONE machine.
Machine #2 is LIVE — at a car dealership waiting room. People sitting for 1-3 hours waiting for their car. Bored. Hungry. The dealership manager loved it. Free machine, free maintenance, happy customers. Two machines. Two locations. B&C Vending Co. is officially a ROUTE.
A rival vending company showed up — Weasel Vending LLC. The weasel tried to undercut their prices and steal their locations. But Barry and Carl had something the weasel didn't: BMFS Academy training and better machines. Game on.
Barry and Carl realized half their customers speak Spanish. So they added bilingual labels, stocked Mexican snacks and drinks, and put up signs in both languages. Revenue jumped 35% in one week. Serving your community = serving your bottom line.
TEN MACHINES. Barry and Carl hit double digits. Monthly revenue: over $8,000. They started with one machine and a napkin that said "Partners?" Now they have a fleet, a van, and matching BMFS polo shirts (Carl insisted on the polos).
Barry and Carl turned in their resignations. The whole office threw them a party. The lion boss said "I always knew you two would either kill each other or start a business." They did both (metaphorically). SnackCorp will never be the same.
B&C Vending Co. has its own office. Barry's side: messy, covered in honey bun wrappers, motivational posters. Carl's side: immaculate, spreadsheets on three monitors, a plant named "Profit." In the middle: a BMFS vending machine. Because of course.
Plot twist: Barry and Carl are now TEACHING at the BMFS Vending Academy. Barry handles the motivation. Carl handles the spreadsheets. Together they teach Module 3: Location Scouting. Their students are taking notes furiously.
You thought the pranks would stop because they're CEOs now? WRONG. Barry walks into the warehouse and every single box is labeled "BARRY'S HONEY BUNS — DO NOT EAT" with cobra stickers. Carl is on the forklift whistling innocently. Some things never change.
LOCAL NEWS: "B&C Vending Co. Donates to SOS Children's Foundation." Barry and Carl on the couch being interviewed. Barry is speaking confidently. Carl is holding up a BMFS Vending Academy brochure toward the camera. Legends.
California sunset. Barry and Carl driving their BMFS van down the highway, windows down, snack supplies in the back. Palm trees. Orange groves. Mountains in the distance. License plate: B&C VEND. This is what freedom looks like.
THE SEASON FINALE. Barry and Carl stand in front of their B&C Vending Empire — 20 machines, a team of employees, Academy students, community kids they've helped, and one giant banner: "Built with BMFS Academy." From office pranks to vending moguls. From rivals to partners. From one napkin to an empire.
Barry and Carl's adventure is just getting started! Season 2 will follow their vending empire as they expand to new cities, face new rivals, and pull even bigger pranks. More laughs, more lessons, more vending machine chaos.
Stay tuned... 🦡🐍
