Gourmet sandwich vending machines

A vending machine dispensing gourmet sandwiches in addition to Snickers bars would be a nice new product to have into offices and buildings for people who arrive for work early and stay late. By gourmet I also mean fresh, so daily restocking of ingredients will be required. On busy days, I wouldn't mind paying a bit extra to get fresh a sandwich right off my desk.

InVending Donations

A vending machine that uses the traffic light system to label various food options. The machine still sells junk food like chips and soda, but it adds a 5-cent surcharge for each one, which is then donated. The University of Virginia is already using one and managed to collect $7,000 which was donated to a children's fitness clinic. Not bad idea for collecting money!

Do you support tree vending machines?

I think our nature is too commercialized already. Please remove vending machines from hollowed-out trees! They are not objects for company marketing, so sad...

The devil is in the details

If you dress into a vending machine in order to camouflage or hide, why doesn't the dress reach all the way to the ground? Why aren't the shoes covered? Say the dress transformed you into a piano and shoes protruded, wouldn't the piano player step on your feet?

In a vending machine on the street you can be hit by a car or a cyclist! This is creative fashion but I wonder if people actually wear it. Maybe in a Pink Panther parody movie it can be very useful...
