In an Indiana Jones movie, right before out-running a large boulder, he removed a historically significant artifact from a booby-trapped pedestal. The artifact had numerous qualities that lent it value, but most importantly - it was on a pedestal.

This inherent truth about pedestals has caused wonder as to why the pedestal isn't a commonly used sales device; now limited to being used in presenting valuable or unique items. This is surprising as there are many very culturally significant items that ought to be put up on pedestals but are merely stocked on shelves in an egalitarian manner as if the Coca-Colas and the Pepsis are somehow on the same level as the Purinas and the Whiskas'.

Well no more! Damn it. The reason is obviously not efficiency as the coolers in which the mysteriously-flavoured, carbonated-sugar-waters are stored, waste just as much energy as any other old refrigerator. This is a further injustice to those precious, sweet, sweet substances as the Pop Pedistal would be a much more energy efficient design.

Said refrigerated pedestal would contain a cool mass of air and large quantity of highly demanded beverage within, and would despense them one by one to the brand's salivating worshippers. Renegade types might try to undermine the pedestal system with a deftly placed bottle of sand, to briefly stop the supply, but this retail machine is much more resilient than that, despite the fact they keep getting bolder.

       Yes, but the large boulder would rapidly obliterate your slow, overweight customer base.
