Pizza, lobster and socks from a vending machine. What else would you buy?

You can buy fresh pizza from a vending machine in Dun Laoghaire, but what else would you like at your fingertips?

TODAY WE STUMBLED upon the startling revelation that there is a vending machine in the shopping centre in Dun Laoghaire that makes a pizza right before your eyes.

We were quickly informed that it’s not necessarily a brand new idea, but it got us thinking… what else can you buy from a vending machine, or what would you, dear reader, like to see in one?

  • Lobster? More of a game than a vending machine, The Maine Lobster Game allows customers in bars and restaurants to ‘catch’ their own lobster dinner for a few dollars.

  • Tommy Lee Jones? Ok, so this machine in Japan may not selling actual Tommy Lee Joneses, but we love it anyway:
