My Potato Sac Storyboard Idea
The scene for my potato sac's story starts off with him walking past a vending machine. Just whistling along, he notices the machine, becomes ecstatic and rushes over to it. Then he is shown putting change into the machine and proceeding to press his selection. After no response from the machine he becomes frustrated waving his arms in anger. In an upset manner of frustration he presses the button repeatedly and fast. Still nothing happens. He looks down into the slot where you grab the snack, stands back up and scratches his head. Goes to look back down into the slot when BAM the candy bar nails him in the head and he is shown falling over while the candy bar flies through the air, rendering him unconscious.

As I said in class you could use multiple candy bars hitting him at the end. You could also hint at the coming of the candy bar through sound effects. You could also end the animation with some change coming out of the change slot after he is knocked down to make it even funnier.
I hate to sound lazy, but I completely agree with Scott. Especially since the sack's probably going to end up falling over, the change coming out and also hitting him in the face would be awesome. Timing is DEFINITELY important here. I also agree that the use of sound would be a successful alternative to having to model the inside of a vending machine.
The change idea IS really good. Just be sure that if you decide to use it as the final shot that you hold on it long enough for the audience to see what happened.
One thing I like about your story is that it's an experience I think most people have had at some point in their life, and you've taken the result we expect from our own experiences and not only reversed the outcome, you could magnify it hundredfold.
As long as you keep the vending machine simple this animation should be entirely possible in our timeframe.
