A Brief History of the Vending Machine
Vending machines tell us a lot about ourselves and our changing diets.
Check out this gallery of vending machine progression (or is it regression).
The Original

Soda (1940s)

Diet pills (Now?)
A customer's prescriptions are loaded into the machine. The customer can pick up their pills and pay for them at the machine.

That is fantastic. Great post.
ReplyI've never seen a vending machine for pizza. I wonder how it turns out? They forgot those vending machines that every office seems to have...the ones with the rotating carousel that has premade nasty sandwiches and expired yogurts and mushy fruit. I wouldn't be sad if those disappeared forever.
ReplyMy grandmother has a vending machine like the firs tone. We think it'd be cool to pick one up somewhere and clean it out and use it (as long as it hasn't rusted out the mechanics should work quite as well as they used to).
ReplyYou can get PIZZA and FRIES from vending machines?!?!
Wow. What's the world coming to?
ReplyYou know, I have NO problem avoiding vending machines. Of course, I work in a library and the only vending machine we have dispenses juice and bottled water. Even so, I can pass by those things no problemo. It's the yummies that co-workers bring in to share that's a lot trickier. :o/
