Mission Impossisquirrel?

I found this gem on a friend's web site. It shows the lengths to which squirrels will go to get acorns or candy bars.

I find myself asking, however, if this means that all candy machines can get squirrels in them?

Interesting, as I have found the foraging behavior of my local squirrels to match the synergy contained in your post. Often the squirrels will make a small but noticeable hole in the trash bag to forage a mid-winter snack. I find this behavior cute and fun, but my neighbors have used it as a rant against squirrels. So one man's jelly bean is another's misbegotten button candy.
