My Kind of Vending Machine

by Frank Roche on October 8, 2007

Vending MachineI saw this beautiful, beautiful piece of equipment in the Atlanta airport and thought, “That’s my kind of vending machine.”

This bad boy isn’t stocked with $100,000 Bars and Pigskin Curls. Nope, it’s chock full of iPods and Bose headphones. It has power cords and skins for iPods. Holsters for iPhones. Blue tooth headsets.

I tried to get an iPod for the a quarter I put in the machine, but sadly it didn’t dispense something cool. I guess two bits doesn’t get you as far as it did in the old days.

    LOL! I bet you would need a fast car to beat it out of there, Frank. :-) Imagine what would happen if your iPod got stuck and wouldn’t come down!

    Pinky Bear, yep, it’s the Imp of the Perverse. I’m curious about what would happen, but my Catholic school upbringing would never allow it. LOL.

    Lindsey, that is so weird! I was just in Macy’s at KOP yesterday and saw one of those by the men’s suits. I was thinking about how funny that was…I had never seen one, then saw two — one at the ATL airport and one at Macy’s. Now you mention it. How cool.

    And thanks for lurking…and commenting. You’re a lurker no longer!
