Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Here's how it worked out when I wrote it up for the adventure (I'll post a link to the full scenario when it's completed).

Narration: You see several large rectangular boxes emerge from the edge of the woods, each moving on a pair of small treads. Each of the boxes have colorful cracked plastic fronts, with VendiPax printed in glowing letters across them. "Greetings, new customers! Please enjoy these free samples!' the VendiPax machines call out cheerfully, before they begin to fire.

The VendiPax machines will continue to fire "free samples" randomly. Roll d6. On a 1-2 they fire a soda can (normal damage, 3-4 a scalding cup of hot coffee, 5-6 a stale muffin or ancient candy bar (no damage). Should a PC successfully catch a free sample, the VendiPax that attacked them will immediately retreat into the woods.
