Vend Me Over: Bizarre Vending Machines

By: Natasha Sanjay (Little_personView Profile)

For most Americans, vending machines are a convenient way to get their afternoon soda fix or to cure the munchies with a bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos. In other countries, vending machines are host to the bizarre, the wacky, and sometimes, the perverted. We’ve come a long way from soda. Check out these not-so-ordinary vending machines from around the world.

Dirty Drawers
The Japanese have a love affair with vending machines. From beer to cigarettes, to rice and ramen, probably the weirdest (and the nastiest) machines are those that sell dirty schoolgirl panties. Soiled underwear from pre-pubescent girls … I guess there’s a niche for every perv.  


Don’t Forget the Lube
In London, bars, night clubs, hair salons, and health clubs have started to sell sex toys from vending machines, including your run of the mill vibrators and, you know, your everyday anal beads and cock rings. Those crazy Brits and their anal beads.


Lobster Lovin’
Another crazy Japanese idea—a lobster vending machine. Yes, lobster—live lobster, in fact. Crawling, squirmy, and undeniably delicious lobster. The catch? It’s one of those grabby hand vending machine games you used to play as a kid. What I want to know is where do you put the live lobster after you win? Are there buckets with water available for carrying? How often do you change the lobsters and who’s in charge of the lobster machine? I’d like to know so I can get my catch on.

There haven't been panty vending machines in Japan for about 15 years.

Also, for the record, although it might make for a nice mental image, San Francisco does NOT reek of pot as our author would have you believe.

For the record, there is only one medical marijuana vending machine in all of California, and it's in Los Angeles, not San Francisco.
