For the past two weeks I’ve been gabbing about vending machines. These glass-front boxes are the perfect receptical for food on-the-go. Insert a dollar, make your selection, and unless the item gets stuck on the winding coil (dang it, I hate that) you’ll have a snack to put in your face in seconds.<\/p>\n

Last week we gave you a list of the healthiest vending machine choices<\/a><\/strong>, this week we have no advice, just pure amusement from the land that has turned vending into an art form, Japan!<\/p>\n

LETTUCE<\/strong> – Grown with artificial sunlight, this vending machine isn’t very exciting but it does get points for being healthy.<\/p>\n

\"japan<\/a><\/p>\n

APPLES<\/strong> – Sliced, bagged and ready to go. An apple a day keeps the “ishi” away. Ishi means doctor in Japanese. I Googled it. You’re welcome.<\/p>\n

\"japan<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GRILLED MEAT SAUCE<\/strong> – I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been walking down the street ready to chomp into a juicy T-bone and then realize I forgot to put meat sauce in my purse.<\/p>\n

\"japan<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CUP OF NOODLES<\/strong> – Multi-flavored. Hot water is your responsibility. Also, how perfect would this be on a college campus?<\/p>\n

\"Japan<\/a><\/p>\n

CORN SOUP<\/strong> – Sold in beverage vending machines in Japan. And look, according to the can, “Now with even more corn kernels.” Mmmm. . .<\/p>\n

\"japan<\/a><\/p>\n

HOT MEALS<\/strong> – Piping hot chicken, french fries, noodles, hot dogs, and a fried fish-shaped something<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"japan<\/a><\/p>\n

BOOZE<\/strong> – Do you know what goes great with fried fish-shaped something<\/em>s? Hooch! In Japan you can buy cans of beer out of a machine. Who’s checking the IDs? This seems irresponsible, Japan.<\/p>\n

\"japan<\/a><\/p>\n

SUSHI<\/strong> – I wish I knew the particulars on this one because I think it looks like an emergency room visit waiting to happen. Is it hand-rolled? Does it come with Wasabi? So. Many. Questions.<\/p>\n

\"japan<\/a><\/p>\n

WHISKY AND M&MS<\/strong> – In a jar! Bring it with you to Bunco night, give as a hostess gift, or enjoy by yourself if you have a bad case of the Mondays.<\/p>\n
