The school my daughter went to before moving to central america was
kind or interesting in the soda machine aspect. The school was making
money off the soda machine but the kids voted to have it removed. The
students asked that is be replaced with a machine that sold bottled
water and PowerAde! The school actually made more money with that
machine then with the soda machine.

Fundraisers were car washes. Very little sales of anything - the one
thing the kids did sell was flower and vegetable seeds for your
garden!
