I am renowned for my weakness of snacking throughout the day. If a see a vending machine in QLD, I just have to purchase something from it. Whether it’s my favourite chocolate or a bubbly Coke, when I see it I can’t help myself. This got me thinking what it would be like if vending machines weren’t full of treats. What if they served different foods? After researching vending machines around the world, I discovered some wacky vending machines I never thought existed.
Bananas
Every wanted to snack on a banana on the run? If you are interested in a healthier option than the normal junk food vending machines offers, this Japanese vending machine is for you. The banana vending machines dispenses single and bunches of bananas at the Tokyo Shibuya train station. If you’re like me and you’ve though about banana peels and the risk of slipping over whilst rushing for your trains, there isn’t much worry about this. It seems the machine manufacturers have already considered this and build bins on the side of the vending machine, so you can drop your peels in there before rushing off.
Mashed Potato
I saw these in Singapore in 7-11 and am still waiting with anticipation for them to bring them to Queensland. These mashed potato vending machines are highly convenient and produce amazing hot mashed potato. You can even get your mash with a dollop of gravy, which is delicious. The best thing is, this delight only costs $1.
French Fries
This is the perfect invention that should be brought into all Queensland universities, as it would make a mint. The Australia French fries vending machine cooks frozen chips to order for just $2. There is said to be a chef robot inside that takes your order and begins frying up the chips within the machine. The chips are flash fried and spurt out golden and crunchy.
Beer And Sake Vending Machine
We have a lot of cool inventions to thank the Japanese for and this is just another amazing one to add to the list. The beer and sake vending machine, dispenses cold alcoholic drinks, just like a soft drink vending machine. Unfortunately though, these machines shut down at 11 pm.
Eggs
If you don’t have time for a chicken pen in your backyard, here is another handy way to get fresh eggs fast. This Japanese vending machine dispenses bags of eggs in Nagoya. The eggs are kept safe in pigeon hole type containers, which you select and then open up to get your fresh eggs from. Eggs are sold for just $3 a bag. The machine is updated in the morning every day with fresh eggs to ensure they are safe for human consumption.
Baguette
We know how much the French love their baguettes, which is reflected in the baguette vending machines in Paris. Rather than visiting expensive bakeries and patisseries that have big line ups from tourists, the French get their bread from a vending machine. For just $1.30 a steaming, crusty baguette is surrendered. Before the bread is put in the vending machine it is partially cooked and during dispensing it receives a final heating.
Rice
Japan is renowned for its rice, so why not purchase it from a vending machine? In Himeji in Japan, rice is extremely popular, which is why it can be easily and conveniently purchased from a vending machine. The rice vending machines offer eight different varieties of rice. Rice can be purchased in large 22 pound bags for between $30 to $40.
