Abstract: A container structure for solid retaining foods, such as cookies and snack chips, or non-food items, such as first aid products or golf balls, is disclosed which is sized and configured to be vendable from a vending machine which is configured for dispensing canned drinks. The container structure and method of vending disclosed presents advantages in the art in providing both vendable food and non-food items with beverages from a single vending machine, facilitates restocking of such vending machines, and provides a more readily recyclable container for vendable foods and non-food items.
