Ep 11. Smoke-A-Cola

In the Corner Gas Animated season 1 episode 11, entitled "Smoke-A-Cola", the residents of Dog River are surprised to find a mysterious vending machine has appeared in town. The vending machine, which is stocked with an unfamiliar brand of soda called "Smoke-A-Cola", quickly becomes the talk of the town, with people lining up to try the new beverage.

Brent, the owner of Corner Gas, is intrigued by the vending machine and decides to investigate the source of the Smoke-A-Cola. He discovers that the vending machine is owned by a shady company called Smoke-A-Cola Inc., which has been using the machine to sell their product in small towns across Canada.

Despite warnings from his friends and family, Brent becomes obsessed with the idea of getting his hands on some Smoke-A-Cola. He spends days driving around the region trying to find another vending machine, but to no avail. Eventually, he decides to take matters into his own hands and breaks into the machine in Dog River.

Meanwhile, Hank, the town's resident conspiracy theorist, becomes convinced that Smoke-A-Cola is part of a government plot to brainwash the population. He enlists the help of Emma, Brent's mother, to help him expose the company's true motives.

As the episode progresses, Brent's addiction to Smoke-A-Cola starts to take a toll on his health and relationships. He becomes increasingly irritable and paranoid, pushing away his friends and family. Eventually, he is forced to face the consequences of his obsession and must come to terms with the fact that there are some things in life that are better left untouched.

In typical Corner Gas fashion, "Smoke-A-Cola" is a lighthearted and humorous episode that pokes fun at small-town life and the quirks of its residents. The episode tackles themes of addiction, paranoia, and consumerism, but does so in a way that is both entertaining and relatable. Overall, "Smoke-A-Cola" is a standout episode in the first season of Corner Gas Animated and is a must-watch for fans of the series.
