There is no doubt that Japan is Vending Machine heaven, around every street corner lies some sort of vending machine, ranging from the typical beverage dispenser to (we have all heard the story) the used school girls knickers!! What other things have you found that you would never expect to find in VEnding machines??

 

My top favourites have included:

 

Vegetables Vending Machine,

Eggs Vending machine,

and my all time favourite, chop stick and lobster vending machine!! It's based on the popular UFO Catcher games and you have to manoeuvre the yellow claw to try and grab one of the lobsters. It costs 100 yen for one try or 500 yen for six. and yes they are real live lobsters!!

 

Am waiting for the day when we can buy vending machines in vending machines!!

The used underwear vending machine myth:

 

In early September, three business men stocked around 90 vending machines in outer Tokyo with used underwear "guaranteed to have been worn by a Japanese schoolgirl." Each garment sells for about $29.

After searching the rule books, the police have finally charged the three entrepreneurs with violating the Antique Dealings Law, which stipulates that dealers need a license. Used panties as antiques? The police say that some of the underwear was bought from second hand dealers. The trio may also be charged with swindling, if it can be shown that the panties on sale had not really been worn by female students.

theres a shop near where I live just outside niigata that has 19 lined up. You can buy coke from a whopping 8 of those machines. All owned by the same shop. Silly.

We've got a Porno DVD vending machine booth near where I live. Its on a main road, but it's in it's own hut so people can't see you in it. Seems a strange place to put it, never seen anyone go in there. I went in as research a while back after a night out.
