The RC Cola Machine in a Joint

RC Cola machines and products are all over this movie to leading to two questions. One, would they really have a soda machine like that in a joint? I just feel like there's so many different ways you could use the cans as weapons. Well, I guess they probably hadn't thought of that until Mick did it. They wouldn't have added to his sentence for escaping. How much does horrible it's get for turning into a Bryson de Shambo in the office? Lot of questions there.
