50 Times People Came Across An Unusual Vending Machine And Just Had To Share It (New Pics)

A machine that sells a contraceptives, morning after pills, and menstrual products. Sounds perfect.

You mean that there are no condom vending machines where you live?

generally the condom machine is in the men's room, so pehaps not

Yes. Your problem is...?

Nah. It works because airports can get away with charging high prices to a captive audience. Most towns have at least one book store, which will have better selection, cheaper prices. Also, where I live the libraries have some free books and cheap used books, a fair number of people have those little book library cabinets in their yard (take one or leave one, free), we have several used book stores, and one of those even puts boxes of books out front for free. I'm pretty sure a machine like this would fail miserably in my town.

No. If you want such a thing, you should just get some friends, some books, and you could just start to leave books at the stations. I'm fed up with people who just say, oh, this and this would be great, someone should do this, and have no intention to do something, even if they could change them for themselves.

Guess what. It only works for a while, and then someone hogs all the books, maybe even resells them. I've seen it to happen way too many times. There’s actually a thing that was invented back in the Antiquity - it's called a library. A public library, in this case, it's free, it's got a wider selection, and it's got a way to track the books so that others get to read them, too. And even better, they've got video games, board games, movies and magazines, too! Grassroots projects are totally cool, but unfortunately, the majority of people, unless it's within a close-knit community, will not play well with free stuff, as long as there is no supervision. People also want new books, as in, recently published books. That rarely happens in bookcrossing, in these parts. Someone always steals the free copies. Therefore both vending machines and libraries trump over bookcrossing, most of the time - already because in them, you get to pick what you want, while crossed books are there at random.

I stole it. The machine is now in my garden. Come on over :)

You *could* just stop into your cheese store or, failing that, the cheese départment when you’re in the grocery store, you know. The varieties will be be bigger by an order of magnitude. If you prefer your selection be limited to twelve, THEN you should have your cheese vending machine.

Same here!

It really is.

I was thinking the same thing but in a smh way

That's what I was hoping! And maybe a wine machine as well...

We also need red wine, peperoni and pastrami (yes, I know they aren't French). And don't forget the butter!

My first thought....

I saw pizza vending machines often right next to the bread vending machines when I visited France last year.

That they installed this tells you there are enough a******s who stole from them when they tried an honour system that the cost of the installation and maintenance was worth it. This area clearly has some terrible people in it.

They do that here in Wisconsin too. Same kind of cooler even!

Really? I live there and I've never seen one. Maybe I just don't get out enough. Sounds cool though.

Same in Washington state, you would have to sell a lot of eggs to pay for that bad boy! 😊

Honor system, huh?
