Last week I posted about the vending machines in Japan. Were you can buy anything from sodas, to eggs. I guess it didn’t occur to me that if you can buy eggs, you could also buy bread from a vending machine. But not just any bread. Bread in a can!

In Japan, you can just pop down to the corner buy a delicious can of warm bread. No need to set foot inside of a store again. You can get all your staples and dietary needs from vending machines.

Dark Roasted Blend has a great post about Japanese vending machines. In Japan you can buy nearly anything from vending machines. Batteries, sodas, groceries, even beer and cigarettes. Pretty much, if it is possible for a machine to dispense it, Japan has a vending machine capable of selling it.

This is something I noticed when I was in Japan. It seemed like there were vending machines on every corner. And many of them sold things like beer and cigarettes that are prohibited to minors. It seems that the machines are not required to enforce age limits on the purchase of controlled substances.
