In 1985, a truck driver in Hiroshima, Japan, drank what he thought was a free beverage

from a vending machine.

He was quickly hospitalized and passed away two days later, leading to the discovery that

the drink had been poisoned.

Over the next seven months, many others would fall victim to similar circumstances, leaving

behind a case that may forever remain unsolved.

Today, we discuss the strange case of the vending machine murders.

This is Red Webb.

Welcome back, Task Force 2, another episode of Red Webb, a show all about the unsolved

Melting beasts.

Some, yes, some cryptids.

But this, this could happen to you at any moment.

You could literally be listening to this podcast right now and this could happen to you.

Oh, don't be putting that out there.

I'm not, I look, I'm just going to get us involved in some sort of hot case.

Look, I got alibis.

It's here, it's this show.
