For only $6 you can get yourself a freshly baked 10.5\u2033 pizza straight from a vending machine!\n\n\n\n
Instead of going to the nearest farm to buy some fresh milk, now you can use some good old-fashioned \u201cmodern technology\u201d called Mlekomat. In Slovenia you can get your fresh milk whenever you want.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t know why there are no such machines other than in Moscow, but this is bloody brilliant!\n\n\n\n
When small artists don\u2019t know how to sell their art, they can always turn to Clark Whittington, who started re-purposing old cigarette machines into brand-spanking new Art-o-Mats. Instead of deadly poisonous sticks, these VMs now give out small art pieces from local artists all over the US.\n\n\n\n
Remember the old \u201cclaw\u201d machines where you could get a plush toy if you tried really hard? Same concept but the toys have been replaced by a tank with live lobsters. You pay $2, and if you catch one, the Tinoco\u2019s Bistro (which managed this whole thing) would then cook it for you for free!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Always-fresh bananas is not something you can find everywhere in Japan and these \u201cbanana dispensers\u201d are a perfect way to bet your daily dose of delicious delicacies!\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s hard to beat around the bush with something like fishing bait vending machine. It is what it says \u2013 it\u2019s a machine that pukes out bait for your relaxing fishing trip, in case you forgot your minnows and maggots at home, and you have no idea that you can find all sorts of bugs and worms right under your feet.\n\n\n\n
This machine sustains the temperature necessary for the crabs to hit the hibernation button, so all of them are basically sleeping when you\u2019re throwing them into a pot. But who cares, it\u2019s only $3.50 and you get vinegar plus ginger tea for free!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Very simple and self-explanatory, but still kinda weird. Buying paper books like Oreos or Lays chips just feels wrong. But people in Singapore think otherwise. In the National Museum of Singapore you can find a vending machine filled with children\u2019s books, graphic novels, and other literature.\n\n\n\n
Finally, my favorite vending machine \u2013 beer dispenser! It\u2019s hot outside, the stores are closed, what do you do? That\u2019s right, you pop a cold one right there on the street. Man, Japan always knows what\u2019s up.
