Japan is the place to be. In this fast-paced country there are over
20,000,000 vending machines! If you do the math that's one machine for every
six people! In Japan you can buy everything from drinks to condoms to schoolgirls'
underwear (not shown here thank goodness!). The picture above shows the
bevy of choices you are bombarded with. If you can't find your favorite
soda here it probably doesn't exist!

I could go for some soup right now...In a rush to work or school and can't stop by your favorite snack shop? How about some soup fom this "Cup-a-Noodle" machine? In less than three minutes you get soup that only a college student could love.

Have it your way?Tired of waiting the three whole minutes it takes to get a hamburger at your local fast food restaurant? Why not try this hamburger vending machine? I hope this machine is refrigerated.

Gum anyone?Whoa! That's not gum they're selling! It's condoms! In fact, they have kinds for each type of blood you have. Of course there isn't any scientific basis for this. It's because in Japan your blood-type, much like your astrological sign in the U.S., is supposed to tell what kind of person you are. For any type of person that doesn't what to catch a disease or become a father.

That hits the spot...Man cannot survive on bread alone. Nor can he survive on only soda apparently. In vending machines in Japan you can purchase beer, sake, and even wine. Just think about it! No hassles for identification! Notice the waist-high despensor so you don't have to bend down to get your drink (don't they think of everything!).

No dates tonight?Okay, so you've got your beer and condoms, had a bite to eat but you don't have a date tonight. Now what do you do? Well, these machine sell um...educational reading that some find interesting. Yes, even pornography can be bought at any time of the day or night at this convienient machine!
