In Japan, vending machines are everywhere. The majority of them sell simple things like soda, coffee, or beer. However, some offer much, much more. Here is a list of the 10 strangest things that can be bought in Japanese vending machines.
1. Eggs.
2. Cars.
Smartcars only of course. Anything larger would just be ridiculous.
3. Used Schoolgirl Panties.
Yeah…
4. Rice.
Not just any rice, but 25 lb bags that cost $60.
5. Pet Rhinoceros Beetles.
What?
6. Soda.
This one isn’t so much about the product being vended as it is the method of vending. This robot-slash-coke-machine wanders around Shibuya Station shooting lasers at you. It is also some sort of super hero.
7. Porn.
This machine has curtains that cover the content during the day and open up at night. Plus, prison bars for extra security.
8. Canned bread.
9. Umbrellas.
10. French fries and hot dogs.
Fast food, prepared just for you on the spot (or maybe not).
