5) Pizza \r
\r
Although kind of weird I have to say Id be tempted to try it.\r
\r
This pizza vending machine creates a freshly made 10.5 inch pizza for only $6.\r
\r
Pretty well priced, & considering they have no staff to pay, they can pass the savings on to you.\r
\r
The machine is pretty smart, it kneads the dough, sauces the pizza, adds the topping you picked, then heats it in an oven in less than 3 minutes.\r
\r
These machines would definitely make a killing outside any university campus.\r
\r
\r
\r
4) Socks \r
\r
Have you ever been outside & suddenly realized you needed socks?\r
\r
No me neither however should you ever be in that unfortunate situation, South Korea has the perfect solution.\r
\r
Vending machines that sell socks.\r
\r
Yes, its very random and we dont understand the business plan behind it.\r
\r
Most people have an adequate number of socks at home, & if they didnt for any reason buying from a vending machine wouldnt probably be their first trail of thought.\r
\r
However i guess its nice to have the choice.\r
\r
\r
\r
3) Gold\r
\r
Personally I dont think putting real gold in a vending machine is a good idea.\r
\r
Although these machines have much higher levels of security than your average snack dispensing vending machine, it still looks like an easy target for a not to smart thief.\r
\r
They can be found in New York, Las Vegas, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and many more places, so they must have some popularity.\r
\r
Owning gold is always a good investment as its one of the only materials that will keep it value no matter what financial disasters occur.\r
\r
So the concept of easily buying gold is a good one to have, but putting it in a machine is a bit risky.\r
\r

2) Lobsters\r
\r
A now closed down restaurant in Las Vegas, had a lobster vending machine slash arcade claw game.\r
\r
The idea was for $2 you can play the popular claw game, but instead of catching a stuffed toy, youre catching a live lobster.\r
\r
If you beat the game, the restaurant will cook the lobster for you and you just got a fine dinner for only $2.\r
\r
A clever concept but obviously many found it to be quite cruel.\r
\r
However its nothing compared to number 1 on our list.\r
\r
\r
\r
1) Crabs\r
\r
China takes the spot for the craziest vending machine in the world.\r
This machine sells live crabs in little boxes.\r
\r
Yes this is without a doubt cruel, forcing a live animal to live inside a little box all its life, just isnt acceptable.\r
\r
However the company has battled these claims by saying the vending machine maintains a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius so the crabs are always hibernating.\r
\r
This means they dont need to eat, and can stay in a little box all their life until they are purchased and eaten.\r
\r
They also have a guarantee that should the crab you purchased be already dead they will replace it with a live one.\r
