Purdue News"The new prices will more closely match local vending-machine prices, and will assure stability in both pricing and revenue over the next three years," said Charles E. Sharp, director of purchases and service enterprises.
Effective Tuesday (7/29), a 12 oz. carbonated drink from a campus vending machine will cost 60 cents, up 10 cents; beverages in 20 oz. reclosable containers will cost 85 cents, up 10 cents; and 12 oz. juice and juice drinks will cost 80 cents, up 5 cents. Sharp said it may take two or three days to change all campus vending machines to reflect the new prices.
Sharp said the last increase was in August 1988, when 12 oz. carbonated beverage prices were raised from 45 cents to 50 cents. He noted that Greater Lafayette vending-machine prices are 55 cents and higher for the 12 oz. cans. Also, a 60 cent price is in effect on the campuses of both Indiana University and the University of Notre Dame.
