First Look Reviews: Sapient Vending Machine

[GrowingUpInThe70s]

If the machine offers a customized drink tailor to my taste preferences, then more interaction makes sense here.

[MyOnlyFarph]

What a waste of technology... Fucking sugarwater.

[extremeblaz]

when is this coming to the uk?! a website said in a year but its been 2 years!

[tchris1977]

this is a piece of crap machine and no you cant "hack" the only computer on it controls the screen thats all no money no free drinks..

[spunkflunk]

yay it has acomputer controling it.. this means i can hack into it and make it pour out money or free drinks!

[jkngai]

I hardly see the benefits of this machine compared to normal ones.

[brandynne]

When I buy a bottle of beverage from a vending machine I do not care to interact with the vending machine, I just want my beverage and leave. For those who are in need of repore with the vending machine, then I guess it would be a psychological dream to befriend the vending machine.

[sidexwalk]

i fail to see how this is actually any more functional than other vending machines.

[sbeer6er]

yeah..... no,

[adriank9]

well something hasn't changed, you can still use a baseball bat lol

[CliftonPhotographer]

Bought to you by Coca Cola! The same company that got rid of the 1 liter bottle and introduced the useless 1.5 liter bottle so they could raise the prices! Yay!!

[jasdeepan]

u dont kown if the machine will steal the credit card!

[toastedjuice]

Why are we wasting money on crap like this?

[ScratchMasterSPAZZ]

First chane I get I'm gonna smash one of these fucking things with a brick.

[TheChickenrun3]

@ScratchMasterSPAZZ violent... wtf did it do to you?

[1yoyo105]

omfg! simon mall owns almost every fucking mall in the us! i saw it and it is just uber cool

[bzcrueldog]

Good idea, and awesome.. Takes credit cards.. But the bad thing about that machine is vandalism.. if some idiot teenagers come, and break the LCD.. It will sure costs a fortune to repair!

[hiddenopal]

That is lame. I can just see a bunch of idiots crowding around it and taking forever to pick a drink because they want to play with it. I don't want that crap in my mall.

[peopleofthesun2]

it's all about user experience bro. in order for companies to survive, they need to think of better ways to engage their customers to retain brand loyalty. embrace the future - it's already here.

[Superflykid2008]

@hiddenopal

haha...we have one at my local mall, and I played with it for like 5 minutes. However, there wasn't a line, so i had time...

[OSKA9999]

lol...no nasty charge,its a durable touchscreen which will take a good beating. Touchscreen manufactured by a company called Zytronic somwhere in the UK..

[gamrage]

what happened to cellphone purchasing? I don't care about touchscreens, I just press and get my drink!!

[HardGay4]

hmm i was thinking vending machines are not going to make into 21st century as modern people are smarter not to buy those unhealthy products like soda and chips... but i guess there will always be idiots who'd be willing to buy it.

[BillyBobTS]

wtf does buying that food have to do with being smart dumbass

[wanghao6207171]

Crack-a-lacking!

[raguks]

so we no longer get to see the bottle before buying!

[yourmom1993]

this is stupid as hell. people will be able to break it, scratch it. its not hard to get a hammer when no one is looking and break it. also why would people spend 5 minutes tryignt o see what a god damn bottle will look like. liek spinning it around and stuff. its stupid and a waste of money.

[purdaay]

LOL. wtf it's exactly the same as a normal vending machine, easily as breakable stop hating

[yourmom1993]

not rly the ones we have now will be cheaper to reaplace..

[FRANTASTICO]

I heard these machines are equipped with malintent software, as soon as it detects a possible vandal the machine releases a 50 million volt charge.

[cprich22]

thats alot of electricty

[member56789]

lol

Picture little Timmy walking down the mall and happens to see this new coke machine. Being too young to understand, he decides he HITS the machine.

*Vandal detected, issuing 50 million kill charge.... now*

yea, i don't think the whole charge thing is real

[HardGay4]

do you realize that the amount you mention exceeds the charge of lightening 500 times? No wonder everyone things americans are stupid.

[FRANTASTICO]

do you realize I said  a 50 million volt charge to emphasize the absurdity of my statement? no wonder stupid people think americans are stupid.

[HardGay4]

nice attempt to come back. but i am not buying it.

[hatzinwondering]

thats really pretty damn awesome. but your right. it would only be good indoors for sure. but i bet they could get some kind of protective cover with touch sensors on the front or motion sensors or something in the back.

[rudyiking]

Cool Coke bottle. Not a really great idea for some areas. As soon as the screen is busted, no more vending.

[sk8termusic462]

kind of a waste of money for the features it provides... coke or diet coke. nothing else. it would be nice if you can like see RSS feeds of some sort, or news while picking the coke or music in the background at least ect.

[DDDenDuDe38]

xD wish I had one on my room:P and then play games on that massive screen

[FirebrandNIRE]

why would u need to look at the barcode? lol

[firefighter1811]

It amazes me how technology has changed for everything, now on vending Machines!
