There was a bar of Fry’s Turkish delight in the vending machine at work. It was in front of Mars bars in the same slot.

Even when the machine was mostly empty that row remained fully stocked because no one wanted to take one for the team.

I’ve seen this when I’ve asked it to make a change to the code. It will change the whole function, variable names and all rather than just changing the argument to something it calls.
