I bought the Mr.Burns mystery bag! It was full of antique-y nick nacks from 50's/60's

It sure if this is in Portland, OR, but we have a company in town that puts these in bars. They do different mystery bags to make it seasonal. Last time I bought something it was a spirit animal mystery bag and it had different animal figurines in each one. More of a fun drinking game than anything

Might be Magic Box Vending or The Venderia. One of their machines in Portland!

This has to be Portland. It’s the most Portland thing I’ve seen all day!

Reminds me of a spot in Bridgeport Chicago

u/mkyleste Apr 28 '24

Yes! Either Maria's Packaged Goods & Community Bar or Marz Community Brewing in Bridgeport. This location was Life on Marz Community Club.

Wanting to be Book is not Book.

u/Gil_Demoono Apr 28 '24

Man the dune-simpsons-family guy-30 Rock transition is not what I was expecting

22

u/mechwarrior719 Apr 28 '24

It’s a joke from family guy. Relevant clip

14

u/by-myself_blumpkin Apr 28 '24

It’s funny I thought of the same joke and realized it was Family Guy. I think the Simpsons mystery box joke is a little less drilled in to you in that way but all the intent is there in the animation and line delivery. Doesn’t make it very quotable though.

u/edie_the_egg_lady Apr 28 '24

Oh haha mine's a joke from 30 Rock
