In theory , the peddle machine is the unadulterated fomite for function food . It delivers instant satisfaction , ask zero fundamental interaction with other human beings , and inclose one thing into a larger matter ( in this subject , money )   is always fun .

lately , Xavier University decide to put in a pizza vend machinein its cafeteria , and it put forward up a veritable shit - tempest of excitement . But there is a brave , new , automated world of uncanny food vend machine that go well beyond pizza pie . If you are n’t getting your alive crustaceans from a big metal box , is it even deserving corrode live crustaceans at all ?

Live crabs

Location : ChinaBefore you throw out about the moral philosophy of keeping a live being in a vending machine , these units are designedto keep the crabs continue in a " dormant Department of State " at 5 to 10 degrees Anders Celsius , with packaging think to feign " the feeling of a cave . "

Still , it probably draw to be one of these crabs be their golden years out in a fucking vending machine .

Cheeseburgers

More cheeseburgers

Location : Amsterdam , NetherlandsIn Amsterdam , there ’s a oversupply of restaurant fill up exclusively with vending machine . I ’m no expert , but I think it ’s because people who are stoned – or those who have just spent an hour with a streetwalker – would favour to forfend homo - to - human contact for the immediate time to come .

$500 caviar

Location : Beverly Hills , CaliforniaYou bonk you ’ve made it when you ’re dropping half a grand on a can of caviar from a vending machine . Or maybe that ’s how you know you have n’t made it yet ? Either way , your breath will smell – which is the great counterpoise between the classes .

Pizza

fix : ItalyIsn’t it every intellectual nourishment - lover ’s dream to trip to Italy , and eat pizza that was just made from scratch inside a 7ft - broad aluminium box seat ?

Fresh baguettes

Live lobsters claw game

Beer and other German stuff

fix : GermanyThe Germans do n’t cognize how good they have it . They get to fag comfortable lederhosen every day ( I mean , I think?)andthey get beer in a vending machine .

Sausage and mystery liquid

Pecan pie

Kosher goods

Location : Fenway Park ( Boston)Legend has it , there ’s a rabbi in this vending machine personally making trusted everything runs smoothly . Though I might be confusing " rabbi " with " automated circuit board " again . It happens more than you think and has lead to more than one very uncomfortable bris .

Canned bread

position : JapanJapan : where the porn conspicuously sport tentacle and the bread comes in cans . I do n’t know about you , but my airplane ticket is book .

Mashed potatoes
