I know in Japan they have beer vending machines, and in other parts of the world they have various other types of vending machines. CNN has an article about some of the more intriguing types of vending machines. What would you like to see available via a vending machine? (and no vending machines that dispense drugs and prostitutes isn't original, I think some professional sports teams actually have those on their training facilities :p )


Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

Oh and try not to ruin it for anyone else coming in. I thought the 2nd vending machine was kind of cool, the 3rd one I can see someone trying to steal, and the 4th seems to have too big a footprint to be successful.
 
A water dispensing vending machine ;) ;) /joking

Hmm... (didn't watch the vid yet), but I think that hotels could have vending machines for all the commodities/freebies you get (soap, shaving cream/razor, etc). That way if you need extra (who does?) you could get some.

I can't really think of anything.

lol, yeah you say you can't think of any now, but once you watch that video it should get you thinking what other uses could be employed. The first idea is also slick but I can see everyone with the same theme at sporting events which isn't very creative.....shhhh I think I've said too much....
 
vending machines at video game store that allow you to purchase a reusable "giftcard" that is strictly for points, be it xbox live or PSN or any of the other big names. similar to an AMEX/visa giftcard. This would allow kids to save up their money to go get the points them selves too, and they wouldnt be able to use it other places.

if that has absolutely nothing to do with what you actually wanted my apologies, I tired :(
 
thats got me thinking.. I have a great idea.. dont want share and someone steal it and make millions.

but.. it would take a large capital to even try to implement it.
 
I was at the Opryland Hotel last night and saw a Best Buy Express vending machine. It had stuff from SD cards up to digital cameras and iPads. Pretty cool.

lol, yeah a Car Rental vending machine isn't going to be practical :p



I've seen the Best Buy vending machines. Would suck if you paid for an iPod in the vending machine and it gets stuck like those candy vending machines.
 
Watched it today. Pretty cool. I especially liked the one towards the end. I don't wanna spoil it so...
the bike one!
Don't click this if you love surprises and the sort.
 
When I was on Thanksgiving vacation, my little bro was watching "How it's Made" and they built a pizza vending machine and I was like...what? Why haven't I ever seen this before?!?!

And why didn't our barracks ever have them?!?!
