Strange Items Found in Ford Airport Lookout Area Vending Machine

Did you know the Gerald R. Ford International Airport has a lookout area? Someone pointed out the strange items in the vending machine found at the lookout.

Gerald R. Ford International Airport Has Lookout Area For Families

Grand Rapids has one of the best airports in the country with the Gerald R. Ford International Airport.

In December 1999, the Kent County International Airport changed its name to the Gerald R. Ford International Airport. Since then the airport has continued to grow and improve with flights to over 30 cities.

Looking for something to take the kids to this summer, how about the viewing park at the Gerald R. Ford International Airport? They have a fantastic viewing platform to watch planes take off and land. There is also a grassy area where families can get a little closer. The airport viewing park is open daily from 7:30 a.m. to dusk. If you visit,  check out the vending machine filled with odd items.

One of the items pointed out in the video on Reddit was a smart doorbell with the handwritten $30 on the box. Doesn't that seem odd? You would think there would be snacks in the vending machine instead. I also noticed maps, sippy cups, and what looked to be aspirin packs. See the video here.

I wasn't the only one that noticed the sippy cups. Below are some more thoughts from posters on Reddit.
