He thought it would be a great idea to put similar vending machines in the factory of the company he worked for. Spending all his savings, he ordered five machines from the US producer and was allowed to install them in the factory. Joseph Jeger s employer is still a client of Selecta. Factory workers used Jeger s machines day in and day out. The American machines were produced with American fittings making them expensive to maintain. To overcome this, Joseph rented a garage in his home town of Murten, hired his first employee and produced the first vending machine made in Switzerland. This vending machine was the first to carry the name Selecta. It was 1957. Since then, Selecta has grown and expanded in Europe.

about the song Shakedown Street song the album Shakedown Street Shakedown street is the area of a Jam Band parking lot where the vending takes place. It is named after the Grateful Dead song of the same name and has been popular since the early 1980s. Tailgating In the Deadhead community, and other likeminded musical scenes, an interesting tailgate party tailgating culture evolved. More than just a party for fans, it is a way for the faithful to sell wares which in turn fund their tickets and gas to the next concert in order to spend weeks, months, or even entire tours on the road. Along with the more traditional fare, there is a large selection of vegetarian food such as egg rolls , burritos , pizza , and falafel . Certain illicit foods like hash brownies and ganja gooballs are also often found among the foods in the parking lots. Other products available for the tailgaters include handmade jewellery, bumper stickers, t shirts, or drug paraphernalia. Slang Within the Shakedown Street culture, a common set of slang terms evolved for things related to both the selling of wares and also the drug culture that has become closely associated with that particular area of the parking lots. Common slang terms Nugs Marijuana Molly pure powder or crystal MDMA L,Lucy, and doses LSD custy customer, someone who doesn t go to a lot of shows Heady of the highest quality those nugs are heady that s a heady burrito boof rectal administration of drugs Booms or Fungus psychedelic mushrooms Wookie A person that has followed the band for tours and tours.
