Vending Machines - A Foodie's Dream

Vending machines have always had a special allure to foodies of the modern age. Myself I've always fascinated by them. Pick what you want , pop in the change and out comes a treat. They're like those claw machines you see at carnivals or on the Boardwalk.

Nowadays they're more upscale. Years ago a basic coffee vending machine could only give you black or mixed coffee along with hot cocoa. Now you can not only pick out coffee but cappuccino, caffe latte along with cafe mocha. It's pre sweetened and prefoamed to your liking. The soda machines have also gone upscale. You can buy not only Coke, Mountain Dew and Pepsi but also power waters and spring waters as well.


Thank heavens that the snack machines are basically the same. You can get the same small bag of pretzels chips, or popcorn. They still have Pop Tarts along with Pepperidge Farm cookies.

OK foodies, now let's here from you. What's your favorite food or drink from a vending machine?
