I dont think ideas like that work well here because people would stay in front of the machine for hours.

Do people actually watch advertising and expect some useful information from it?

I went to a restaurant in Shinjuku, Tokyo, that needs me to buy a ticket from the vending machine before I enter the "express" restaurants.
It works like this
1) Buy a ticket of your choice
2) Walk in and have a seat
3) Wait for them to allocate a seat
4) They serve the food (It is really fast)
P.S: They serve Japanese food, not fast food though, but the principle works for the latter anyway. #hamburgervendingmachine

You must be a bible-thumping, 3 cheeseburger lunch, high school dropout, jeep driving douchebag. Because that is what all Americans are like. Oh wait, I almost forgot racist. #hamburgervendingmachine

I would have you know I am none of those things you mention. No, not even American. I am one of those rare beings which have the gene for a thing called "humor". #hamburgervendingmachine

What is your major malfunction?
In a topic making fun of something ridiculous I made fun of something else ridiculous. How that is racist is beyond me. Unless of course I should have implicated hentai pillow-carrying males (and females?) or other nationalities. Show me they exist and I will gladly do so. Ridiculous inventions call for silly comments. As soon as Tateishi Hamburgers invents a cure for cancer I will give them all the well-meant praise they deserve. #hamburgervendingmachine

Here's hoping for the Captain Morgan & Coke option. All you have to do is slide your universal ID or wave your RFID implant in front of the sensor and it'll dispense the hard stuff....

We still have only the basic stuff (probably less than 1/10th the flavors US has) and even the standard flavors are kinda altered.
I remember liking Cherry Coke in a trip to Miami, but when they released it in Brazil it tasted like crap.
Loved Caramel Coke too. We don't even have Dr. Pepper here... it's like living in HELL I SAY!!!!
Anyways, back to beverage machines, I dunno about US these days, but in Japan they have hot and cold beverages... which is pretty awesome too. Having coffee and hot tea on a cold day is great.

I love soda machines that have flavor syrups that you can add as much as you want instead of selecting the flavor and having the machine add it's own proportion of syrup.
Best mix ever: Grape Dr. Pepper.

Here's my findings:
• Ice over dispenses and has a small catch basin so most of it ends up on the floor. Don't slip!
• Soda over dispenses as well so it's necessary to release the "Pour" button about 2 inches before you reach the rim or else you overflow.
• Kids think this is a soda-sampler-machine and do the taste-n-dump method causing a 10+ deep waiting line during off peak hours.
• Aesthetically pleasing! A gorgeous hi-tech machine with tons of flavor options.
