6. Socks
Hong Jung Mi of South Korea designs socks. It was tough for her to rent a store for selling these. She instead rented a vending machine. She started with one machine in Seoul, selling her ‘I Hate Monday’ brand socks. The brand gained popularity, and she rented more machines. She even created a website for her designs.
7. Underwear
Japan is unique in contents of their vending machines. The canned bread is also strange but not as ladies underwear. Not fresh but used underwear. Thankfully, these machines have Kakou products, meaning they are manufactured to appear used. Weird, Japan and its ways.
8. Tools
Inside the Thayer school of engineering on the Dartmouth campus in New Hampshire, United States, there is rather a unique vending machine which dispenses tools like, duct tape, epoxy, gloves, batteries and other useful tools. Before this vending machine, all these materials were only available in machine shops, which were open until 4:30 pm. After installation, the problems of students were solves, all they need to have is a card.
9. Pet Food
In Istanbul, Turkey, there are 150,000 street dogs roaming in search of food. In response to this issue, a company called Pugedon created a very special kind of vending machine and named it ‘Small Recycling Boxes’. These machines perform two very important tasks, recycling and feeding stray dogs simultaneously. When a water bottle placed inside the machine, the machine instantly dispenses a bowl of dog food. There is even a water function if there is any water left in the machine.
10. Baguette
There is a 24-hour Baguette dispenser in Paris, France. Jean Louis Hecht came up with the idea during August holidays when Boulanger across France was closed. It only cost 1 Euro for steaming and hot Baguette.
These vending machines are so unique and weird! I never expected such products to be available like this. But, you know, that’s how strange things are. While these machines are weird, have a look at another vending machine from Bhopal which made a revolutionary change. Find out what it is.
