Do you purchase items out of vending machines?

Tweet

Wikipedia says that a vending machine is a machine that dispenses merchandise when a customer deposits sufficient money into a slot or vent to purchase the desired item (as opposed to a shop, where the presence of personnel is required for every purchase). The money (usually coins) is validated by a currency detector. It is believed to have been first invented by Hero of Alexandria, a 1st century inventor. His machine accepted a coin and then dispensed a fixed amount of holy water. Varous machines sell newspapers, photo's, sodas, water, sandwiches or snacks. Some countries sell alcoholic beverages such as beer through vending machines, while other countries do not allow this. Cigarettes were commonly sold in the U.S. through these machines. During the 1950s, life insurance policies were sold through vending machines at airports. The most popular trade magazine for U.S. is Vending Times. I think they should sell lipstick in a vending machine or maybe toe rings would be better.
