Japanese Vending Machines

Japanese Vending Machines
via Otaku International, here and here:

Japanese ingenuity at its peak... they have everything you need.

VEGETABLE VENDING MACHINE
for the busy city folks who couldn't make it in time before the stores close...
UMBRELLA VENDING MACHINE
Singapore could do with more of this... its raining every so often...
FLOWERS VENDING MACHINE
Now you can buy flowers 24/7... FLIGHT INSURANCE VENDING MACHINE?
Conveniently purchase flight/travel insurance at the boarding gate in Tokyo...
ALCOHOL VENDING MACHINE
Neat...
HOT MEAL/ HOT RAMEN VENDING MACHINE
I would think these actually dispense receipts so you can go to a certain stall to collect your hot bowl of ramen... but looking at the huge square door at the bottom left of the vending machine tells me otherwise...
EGGS VENDING MACHINE
Ok, this is funny, insert the coins and press the button. Then you'll see the tray turn, and the bag of eggs you selected gets pushed into the dispensing chute... and *piak!* you can then collect a pile of mess down there...
CONDOMS VENDING MACHINE
Kinky~ I've seen these little machines while I was in tokyo. They're conveniently situated inside the gents... along with those tissue dispensers. Really convenient... (I think buying a packet of condom off convenient stores like 7-Eleven is pretty awkward... considering the girl behind the counter would give you those kinda looks...)
LINGERINE VENDING MACHINE
I might wanna ask some of my female friends on this: would you buy lingerine off vending machines without trying? Perhaps yes when you are in situations where its "better-than-nothing"?
"HEALTH ITEM" VENDING MACHINE
(Read: P.O.R.N.)
I love Japan. xD Good for those lonely nites... but just how do they stop those little kids from getting their hands on these?
LOBSTER CATCHER
Alrite, this isn't exactly a vending machine... its an "UFO-Catcher", but instead of plushies, you've got fresh live lobsters as your opponent. Impossible to catch you say? You know what? I will crush them to death first...
