Japanese versus American Vending Machines, Rant & Slideshow

[kurox67]

ehhh i wish the vending machines here in the usa was more intersting 

[frosty93101]

I'm a Japanese who living in California 25years.

What is the most difference the vending machine in Japan and States?

The machine is on the outside on the street working 24hours in Japan.

It does not matter how much variety they have.

Have you seen any vending machine at countryside? only rice field around you.

@frosty93101 I made this video just to inform people about my interest in the inner city Japanese vending machines.. I think it's cool how much variety they have versus the ones here that only sell junk food.

lol gh microphone?

Seattle definitely has coffee in its vending machines. lol So visit the northwest for convenient coffee and a Starbucks on every block :). But i agree Japanese vending machines are quite awesome. Great video :)

[tylerwalker2]

i wish canada where i live would pick up on the japanese technology! the only "advanced" vending machine would be a instant coffee maker xD it just ground the coffee, and put hot water over it and that made coffee ... the japanese are a extremely smart race!

[OMGitsFMA6666]

I travel by car a lot and I'd have to say that these coffee machines you want so bad are -VERY- common at rest stops along the road. Just looking in the wrong spot you are :D

[frodoshop]

haha yeah, i once got an entire meal out of vending machines

[MyLovelyMarie]

I can't believe I know someone interested enough in this subject to make a video like this. Three thumbs up. I collect coin-ops. 

[EWilsonLife]

@MyLovelyMarie I adore vending machines. :) I also love tiny japanese trinkets, they are so pleasing to me.

[CapChronic]

colleges and schools have cafeterias and there is a fast food restaurant or convinience store on every corner...... vending machines in america are pointless

[anonymityismyname]

OMG i want to go to japan

[katkoneko]

So u want jobs to leave?

[EWilsonLife]

What do you mean?

[katkoneko]

What I mean is if companies just do vending machines, one day they will take a lot of jobs! Just like you said, you would rather go to a machine than inside the star bucks where people get paid to serve you.

Cigarette machines used to be common in the US but then evil Government busybodies got rid of them all. And I have seen coffee vending machines here, too. Just regular coffee, where a plastic cup pops out and then the machines fills it. They're not very common, though. I really love the beer vending machines that I hear are found right on the street in Japan. I wish they'd do that here.

(Oh. I also love that you say 'pop' instead of 'soda'. Thank you for speaking like a normal American.)

[EWilsonLife]

lmao no problem, I'm from northwest America so our culture is a lot like canada's. And yeah speaking of which I actually saw one of those lame coffee machines at the community colleges yesterday. It's pretty ghetto.

[lilliarthenyou]

I think because America don't have vending machine that sells all these neat stuff is because I think the american people will misuse them ... and it all has to do with cultural differences too.

Random: When I was in japan I was walking around Tokyo for 2 hours. I could not find a single garbage can. While in America I see some garbage here and there. But yeah. There's filth everywhere around the globe. But i find japanese ppl to be really clean

[EWilsonLife]

Misuse? Oh yeah like cigarette vends huh. I see what you mean.. I can't believe you couldn't find a garbage can haha. I wonder why...

[GoHaMify]

who gives a fuck about japanese vending machines if you want japanese vending machines go to japan wtf

[EWilsonLife]

....Uh, it's interesting?

[Hardgaymachineguns]

kawaii

[mistabiggz16]

Beer in vending machines hmmm ........... Sounds like a quick trip to the hospital for me LOL

[camswitzer]

Me again. I haven't seen porn, panties, or even booze vending machines for many many years. They are pretty much gone now. They have made bylaws for cigarette machines as well so now to use them you have to apply to the government to get a photo IC chip ID that has to be presented to the machine in order to buy the cigarettes. So much more I could add, but great video!

I just want people to know that the panty videos ... thing of the past!

[EWilsonLife]

I know this is an old comment but I haven't seen this video in awhile and checked up on it. The panty vending IS obviously a thing of the past. Used underwear? Nasty. I've seen people on ebay try to sell used stockings and undies before.

[camswitzer]

Argh! You should have told me you made this video, E! I would have come over here and congratulated you!

Congratulations and HappyNew Year!

You say pop and not soda, that makes me smile! :D

We get some of them cute photo booths in the UK, one is at my local cinema and one was in some clothes shop before it closed down.

[EWilsonLife]

You're very lucky! The UK seems to be on top of things earlier then the united states too...

[ItsMattsWorld]
