• From tasty meats to somebody’s dirty laundry we look at 11 weirdest things you
can get from a vending machine.
11 – Lego, • If you only thought cheap things came
out of vending machines then I have some SHOCKING news for you.
• If you take a trip to Germany you’re sure to run into these Lego dispensers…and
then instantly wonder why the hell they don’t have them in your country.
• Strangely enough the Lego vending machines only populate train stations around Germany.
Maybe it’s distract kids away from the deadly train tracks.
Lego!
Now saving your child’s life!
10 – French Fries, • Of all the things Aussies could have put
into a vending machine, they decided that French Fries would be the best option.
• These miracles of technology have been seen in Australia since 1982 but were brought
back to the internet’s eye when The Hot Chip Company created a new super robotic version.
• The new version will fry up chips in about 2 minutes…which is actually double the time
that it took its 1980’s counterpart.
Apparently frying potato technology hasn’t changed much in 30 years.
9 – Mashed Potatoes, • If you can get deep fried potatoes from
a robot then smashed up potatoes shouldn’t be that hard to imagine.
• This mashed potato dispenser found in Singaporean 7/11’s will give you a healthy
serving mash and gravy for a buck.
• I can only guess that Potato and gravy is something that people crave at all hours
of the day in Singapore or at least who ever designed this machine did.
“Trust me guys kids will be lining up for it”.
8 – Gold, • Tired of having to go digging in the dirt
every single time you need to pay someone in pure gold?
• Then this is the vending machine for you.
Appealing to…old timey prospectors I guess?
This gold ATM will take your money and make it into sweet, sweet gold.
• Placed in locations like New York and Dubai, this is the vending for those people
who frequently find themselves in a “gold rush”…man the advertising for this thing
writes its self.
7 – Weed, • I predict a future where fantastic automatons
will distribute all your drug needs in a handy one stop shop.
• And Canada is one step there already.
Them and places like Colorado who already have medical marijuana vending machines.
But before you start planning your trip, you still need a prescription to access the machines
in most places.
• But hey in 20 years you will probably be able to buy heroine from the corner store
and people will laugh at the days where you could only get weed from the drug machines.
6 – BBQ, • Now to something much less taboo but far
more addictive than any illicit drug.
• Of course I’m talking delicious BBQ meats that now you too can get from a machine
while walking home drunk at 3 AM….if you live in Japan.
Kirin who are normally known for their beer are responsible for this glorious invention.
• While it may be lost among the literal millions of other vending machines in the
land of the rising sun, I’d definitely be hunting this one down.
5 – Caviar, • For those aristocrats out there who want
to slum it for a bit, there’s this ridiculous machine.
• Forget dealing with the snooty waiters of 5 star restaurants, you can get your high
quality caviar from a snooty machine instead.
Populating upper class areas of LA, these things apparently exist.
• Only frequented by people who look like the monopoly guy and those using the Gold
ATM that is probably next door to it.
4 – Live Crabs, • China, in a move to swipe the crown of
WTF vending machines away from Japan has this offering.
• If you’re walking around the streets of Nanjing you can find a helpful little machine
that will fulfil all your live crab related needs.
The machine keeps the crabs in a constant state of hibernation through temperature control.
• The company banks on this feature so much that if do receive a dead crab they will reimburse
you with 3 whole live crabs.
Now that’s a vending machine you can trust.
3 – Lettuce, • This may not be the strangest thing but
it certainly is the most…puzzling.
• This insanely expensive Japanese machine grows 60 heads of fresh lettuce each day for
passer-by’s to purchase.
The machine called “The Chef’s Farm” was supposedly implemented to encourage people
to eat their veggies.
Apparently convenience is the reason people are missing out on nutrition.
• The whole thing is just confusing, why only lettuce?
Why lettuce at all and not something more interesting.
This is Japan, it should be a Hello Kitty sweet potato dispenser or something.
2 – Panties, • Perverts everywhere can rejoice at the
invention of machine that can allow you to purchase your fetish items without being judged
by a human.
• There is some debate over how actually “Used” these panties are but there are
machines where you can get some possibly soiled underwear discreetly.
Thus allowing you to do whatever the hell people do with someone’s dirty undies.
• The fact that there is enough demand for these that they beat dildos and fleshlights
to vending machines is real head scratcher. 1 – Canned Bread,
• Here’s something that I didn’t even know existed let alone be sold in a vending
machine.
• Coming again from Japan, this machine will give you the snack you never knew you
needed…canned bread.
• These sweet breads seem to have more in common with muffins than a loaf of sliced
bread and come in many flavours like chocolate chip and fruit.
