Millions of Us and Crayon recently held a contest for Coca Cola Virtual Thirst in Second Life. Entrants were asked to submit their ideas for an innovative vending machine. The grand prize, won by Emerie May, consisted of a trip to San Francisco to collaborate with Millions of Us on their idea, plus 500,000L to spend inside SL.

The Machinima for the winning idea was created by Aren Mandala, otherwise known as Michael Verdi, vlogger extraordinaire. It explains what the contest was about and showcases the winning entry. Among the features you'll discover are puzzle bottles, a snowglobe photobooth, a giant bubble ride, and a snowball vending machine. You can start your Coke puzzle by heading to Style today!
