ACTION :
Whilst the balls are continiously churned in the snack dispenser's hopper Borborygmus attempts to release a ball by touching the lever . He does this twice and then scratches his head.
The third time he presses the lever and looks down as the arm on the dispenser rotates to deliver a ball to his cup.
Borborygmus leans forward and the arm on the dispenser rotates out of the way , he then lifts his arm up and tips the ball into his mouth , as he does so he looks up then swallows the ball .
The ball is transfered to his stomach where it is churned for a while before being released by a trapdoor back into the dispenser.
The whole process begins again.
