No, it's not a type-O....that is how the sign spells "snack". There are vending machines EVERYWHERE....in the airports, off base, on base....and we wanted to try one. We are collecting quite a lot of "change" and it seemed like a good way to use some of it up.
What an array of choices. We'd noted at the airport that liquor is sold this way. I couldn't read most the bottles. I could decipher some....we chose something safe...In honor of Bre and Krista and the Coke fetish....
As we walked away, congratulating ourselves on navigating this new fun, I realized that Y120 is a bit over $1.20. We'd just paid for a can of Coke.....hmmm....
There's a machine near the room that seems to have SOUP in it. I plan to try that today....Jared said he'd try it with me. The others think corn soup from a vending machine is nasty...but then they always have been picky eaters. ::Snort::

A small (and I mean small) glass of soda in Germany cost 3Euros.... which at the time was more than $4 and with no refills
ReplyDeleteDo they still sell cigarettes in vending machines? They did when I was there a decade ago, but I seem to remember that new laws were changing that...it really bothered me that they should be that easily accessible to kids.
ReplyDeleteI was always amazed at the number of vending machines and the variety of items available. I kept hoping to see a vending machine selling cars--after all, they have car parking towers in the cities where you drive your car in, exit, then the car is taken up in a elevator--and the next car is driven in. If you haven't seen them yet, keep your eyes open, they're really fascinating; the whole structure is a little over two cars wide...
Wish I was there for the soup from a machine! Sounds like a cool idea.
ReplyDeleteSis:
ReplyDeleteCorn soup is pretty good. :):)
Wow, send Bre/Krists a can of coke so they can have the can. But they will be there for Christmas and they can get their own I guess. Interesting can.
How nice to have so many different things in the vending machines. What fun.

Paula - not sure about cigarettes. I know in Tokyo they've really cracked down on smoking in general with smoking booths/rooms set aside for smoking.
