Vending machines are becoming unique and fun—to the point where you might not recognise them as vending machines. Vending owners are making “out-of-the-box” thinking for their devices, providing target customers with an exciting experience that exceeds their expectations.
From the unexpected idea of live crabs to the jaw-dropping luxury of a gold ATM, you would never believe the number of incredible vending machines worldwide. As these unique vending machines have been listed on TCN’s other blog, get ready for PART 2 of the craziest machines for every entrepreneur!
9 Unique Vending Machines Across the World
You heard correctly! Not only will we visit Australia, but we will also visit other countries to discover the most fantastic vending machines ever designed by humans. We’re sure you’re excited now, so let’s get moving and start exploring the most unusual vending.
Unique Vending Machine #1: Raw Milk Machine
The thrill of drinking raw milk straight from a vending machine is exciting. And without a doubt, such boldness originated on the European continent, specifically in Italy. So, if you want to try the country’s local moo milk, now is the time to go!
While cool, business people selling raw dairy products are subject to regulations they must follow in some states. If not, this can lead to court cases and jail time, which is not worth attempting.
Unique Vending Machine #2: Burrito Machine
Are you tired of standing in line waiting for a tightly wrapped burrito? Then try California’s automated burrito kiosk, which serves a delicious and hearty combination of your favourite meats and vegetables. With a button touch of the “Burritobox,” you can mix and match your sour cream, guacamole, or hot sauce.
And what else? It has been proven to be completely natural. In other words, it contains no harmful hormones or antibiotics. Isn’t there too much goodness in one roll?
Unique Vending Machine #3: Farmer’s Fridge Machine
Vending machines now sell more than just junk food. In the United States and Canada, many businesses are converting to healthy vending machines—healthy food has become the new staple for this generation.
Apart from this, people have become so health-conscious since the Coronavirus outbreak that easy access to healthy options is a must-have for everyone.
Unique Vending Machine #4: Sake Machine
Based on the name, you probably know that Sake vending machines are from Japan. With its long history of enhancing the umami (the essence of deliciousness) in all foods, Sake has long been a go-to pairing for meals.
So, if you want to try one, go to Ponshukan Sake Museum, which has the best Sake. They use a token system similar to a traditional vending machine to taste the drink. With so many flavours to choose from, consult the Sake masters of the establishment.
Unique Vending Machine #5: Medical Marijuana Machine
Another unique vending machine sells medical weed. This machine contains a variety of products ranging from lotions to tinctures.
And this fully automated and controversial cannabis vending machine started in the United States of America. Originating from Colorado, many suppliers are now following the marijuana retail trend.
Unique Vending Machine #6: Flat Shoe Machine
Two Toronto men become the ‘sole-savers’ for women’s frequent sole pain caused by wearing high heels all the time.
Because these two heroes understand that “wearing high heels gives women power—putting their beauty on a pedestal,” they created the first shoe vending machine that dispenses flat shoes to women.
Unique Vending Machine #7: Bacon Machine
When you want to raise money, it allows you to consider various ways. A group of students at Ohio State raises funds through a “baconify” vending machine. The machine has been retrofitted to dispense a package of cooked bacon after every dollar.
That is why, if you’re a bacon connoisseur, try the thrilling experience of getting cooked bacon bits in one click!
Unique Vending Machine #8: French Fries Machine
From storing frozen potatoes, an Australian robotic vending genius fries your fries in just two minutes before serving.
But why would Australians love fries vending machines when fast food is available everywhere? From McDonald’s to KFCs, the country’s fast-food industry is thriving. According to Buzzfeed, vending machines were created because “fast food isn’t fast enough.”
So, try a French Fries vending machine to satisfy your crispy and crunchy potato cravings faster.
Unique Vending Machine #9: Live Bait Machine
Have you ever imagined a vending machine displaying a minnow, worm, or cricket? If not, be amazed by the live bait vending machine—a sure treasure for fishing enthusiasts. You read that correctly—this bait machine dispenses live minnows, worms, and crickets!
Tongue River Reservoir State Park in Montana has a vending machine filled with minnows. While this benefits anglers, it also ensures that minnows from neighbouring states are not illegally transported to the city.
