Live Lobster Vending Machine
Sponsored Links
The japanese really sells everything using the vending machine. While they’ve already bored with the soda, rice, and ice cream’s vending machines, they invent something new to provide instant food source, the live lobster vending machine.
A vending machine is a machine that dispenses merchandise when a customer deposits money sufficient to purchase the desired item (as opposed to a shop, where the presence of personnel is required for every purchase). It is believed to have been first invented by Hero of Alexandria, a 1st century inventor. His machine accepted a coin and then dispensed a fixed amount of “holy water“. [ source ]
As you can see in the image, you can catch a real live lobster using the old UFO catcher crane-and-claw-based arcade games vending machine. You can find it in Sapporo and try your skill for 100 yen or less than $1.
