Looks like you got yourself a small business! ;) Figure out how to make such product, then sell to vending machine owners or even shop owners with vending machine in their store.
Uh oh, you know it's going to be a really strange vending machine if the vending machine aficionado expert DancingBacons is calling it the strangest vending machine in the world.
You know it’s gonna be a really weird video when the title says “Eating the Strangest Vending Machine in the World.” edit: the name of the video has since been changed😂 I thought it was a good name I laughed and immediately clicked on it
This was such a clever business idea. Set up shop with unusual floor plan and creepy ambiance, fill machines with cheap and unrelated items, wrap some in paper with nonsensical stories, never explain any of it, and profit. I think this shop was designed to create an urban legend or give tourists a fun story to tell back home. I love it. 100% would visit and buy daiso candy in a creepy mystery box
I've seen multiple videos of this vending machine area, I think the mystery boxes are mainly for the tourists because its always the tourists who go there and buy them, only to be disappointed by having Daiso items inside at a serious mark-up. One video I saw there was a group of tourists and they were warned by a local that the boxes were basically a scam.
Tourist trap and, to be honest, probably a money laundering operation. Cash-only + no specific stock means an easy way for organized crime to wind up with clean, taxed money.
The inner letter with a short story about sex trafficking wasn’t enough to make you mystery box hungry? That was sarcasm. I would have thrown that box away unopened after reading that "story." This guy is orders of magnitude more of a risk taker than I am.
I couldn't click on here fast enough when I saw 'Dancing Bacons' and 'Vending Machines', I've missed those videos so much. The stories on the boxes in the vending machines are what you pay for, not so much the contents, it's a great way for the writers to make a little extra money and you get a quirky little story🙂, and there are people from around the world that come to Japan just for the vending machines! Personally I think they're awesome, I'd love to try all the different ones 😁. Great video, thanks for uploading ❤️
Yeah that makes sense to me When they said "dollar store biscuits" the first thing that came to mind was "maybe the writing makes it a little experience" (that only really works if you can read Japanese lol) but it doubling as a way for writers to make a little extra pocket change is also rlly nice
@@jz4057 well even if it was translated word for word in english to us it would still be weird and not make much sense, the beginning of a sentence for japanese people is different from us, so even if translated it would translate to not proper english
I've seen other people make videos about this place but no matter how many times I watch about it, it never stops being interesting. The pun on the bread can made me laugh "Strawberry no Pan da" (It's Strawberry Bread) and has a panda on the can.
There’s actually a horror story about one of those small little alleyway vending machine places. I think the story goes that at night you may feel like someone is behind you and it’s a woman’s ghost
This might be my favorite video on this channel. The place, the boxes, looks like a videogame. I love how you get a little treat for reading through strangers secrets
When converting japanese to English. Use deepl, its an awesome software specially for japanese. It's much better than Google translate. Deeply also has an app, although not as intuitive as Google translate, but works OK to get accurate results.
8:08 The Calpis soda on the top of the machines is a creepy reference to a series of unsolved Japanese murders in 1985, when somebody placed poisoned bottles on the top of machines, killing 12 people who drank them.
@@CaskStrength777 Yeah "paraquat murders". Some of the poisoned cans were on top of the machine, some were wedged into the machine so two came out. Getting free stuff from vending machines in Japan is considered dangerous like taking candy from strangers, the whole affair played right into Japan's law and order culture.
It’s entertaining (? not sure that’s the word I’m looking for) to imagine the paraquat murderer was a high schooler in ‘85 who now owns this shop. Occasionally, when restocking the machines, they place one poisoned item inside, and they wait and wait for the day someone opens that special box… a true game of fate and chance.
I'm glad that you tried some of the mystery boxes! Too bad the contents weren't really worth the money. It was great that you did the translate on the boxes and and the signs too! I don't think I've seen any do that before! 😄👍
5:32 To DB : In fact , those mystery boxes works like lottery. There is a chance to win something more valuable like a Swtich or something.(Or just regular random cheap prize.) The wrapping paper are just cheap recycles. (This kind machine is also kind common here in Taiwan).
Oh this place! I hink I remeber Akidearst covering this place when she was on a vending machine high. There can be some pretty weird items in there. But Atleast its an interesting experience.
I saw one of the questionable meat cans being canned bear meat curry, which I think is a delicacy in one part of Japan, probably Osaka? Edit: I did some more reading, and it seems all the exotic meats are canned curry from Hokkaido. Todo (a species of sealion), Ezoshika (Ezo deer?) and kuma (bear). Only ever heard of bear meat curry before
I really thought before you unwrapped the biscuits that the vending machine with the wrapped boxes and odd writing would be some kind of mystery book vending machine. You read a short summary on the box without being able to see the cover, author, etc., pick which one you like, and get to try a new book. But alas it was only cheap biscuits.
I've seen people buy those boxes and ask someone who can read Japanese about the stories It ranges from anything about random stories to not safe for work stories depending on which box you get I think . You are basically paying for the experience of getting stories attached to a box
15:40 Word of advice, sometimes word translating app isn't reliable. Even Google translate itself because they always gives us weird information. This is true. Using a human translator is more precise choice.
About 10 yrs ago there was a tv show where 2 comedians randomly walked around Tokyo looking for something interesting. They tried a 1000-yen vending machine whenever they saw one. After getting tons of crap (some really funny junk) they got a Nintendo DS.
Even though you paid 5 times the amount for the biscuits from the dollar. I think it's pretty cool, the vendor took the time to wrap each put stories on it and gave the potential consumer something to wonder about and something read. So even though the cookies were not worth the money, I think what you're paying for is the experience and the Wonder of not knowing what you'll get and being able to read the stories. Not worth the money but a pretty cool idea for sure. From Arizona, USA
This is the 3rd video I've seen from this location. SO WIERD TO ME for some reason. Profound. Everyone goes here for some reason. Not sure why, that place definitely smells like pee. It seriously tripped me out to see the first street shot of the location for some reason. I have become so familiar with this place. Maybe I died here in a past life. Because, somebody definitely died here at some point

It's so eerie! The place, the vending machines, and then those mystery boxes wrapped in paper with strange stories printed on it. That would all be too creepy for me. Even those panda cans are creepy.
I've seen other videos of the same vending machines from a while ago and it looks like there are a lot more mystery boxes now. I wonder if there are more foreign tourists buying them since the other videos, so they know people who can't understand Japanese will get a kick out of buying one. Thanks for visiting.

Ah we have these things called "Kurzgeschichten" (short stories) her in Germany on calendars they can be fictional or any genre they must be short kinda like the once on yiur snacks fascinating
I have seen a lot of your videos, but this one is truly creepy for a vending machine store and looks like a place where people would go pee before they go to a high class restaurant. I am surprised that you continue to film this even after it got dark you, sir are a brave one.
Oh, I remember seeing this quite a few years ago on a different RUclipsrs channel Sophia Nygard if I remember properly, she went to this particular vending machine area and found a plastic Hercules beetle and then found a very interesting kind of soup. I think they may have had the panda kind of whatever type of food it was but it’s been a while since I’ve seen the video so I’m going off of a vague memory, anyways I was thinking about this place quite recently, but I didn’t have time to see any videos regarding this interesting vending machine shop because I’ve been busy with family over the holidays. Thanks for making the video. I personally want to go to this place in Japan, although I do have a language barrier, because I do not speak or read any Japanese whatsoever. Also, I don’t know what I’ll
I think this must be an art installation, otherwise those weird RUclips channels that read disturbing stories over footage of cakes and children's crafts are bleeding over into real life...
2:32 to 2:36 i found that biscuit in conv store for about $5.33 [5 dollar 33 cents] , also found at amazon US for $14.99 [1.76 oz. or 50g] so ...what the heck are you talking about? a mystery box should have the same value money a customer spend maybe with a slim margin of error of rounding down e.g. item that is in the box value $5.11, one only pay the mystery box of $5 if not; that is considered a scam and report able to law enforcement
I've been trying to order the canned panda bread to Canada for so long. Ever since a RUclipsr taste tested every flavor. I want to try them all so bad; and keep some for a survival box since they don't go bad. 😭
@@jessierichardson727 yep that's who I watched when I first saw those cute panda breads 😭🖤 I wish I had an American friend so they could order it for me and ship it to 🇨🇦 lol!! Same with Uncrustables™...I can't order them from anywhere!
@@xo.elektra uncrustables would be a bit of a pain to ship since they're frozen. Buy a sandwich cutter instead. They make ones in the shape of the uncrustables, and pandas, and all kinds of stuff. Make a PBJ with white bread, use the cutter. Uncrustable. Really nothing special about them.

I might certainly check expiration dates on products from these machines. Something tells me they aren't used much at all and those food items may have been in there a long time.
From all the variety of videos of vending machines in Japan that I have seen, they are a well used product in their society. They are a dating event, a teach the children event, travel to them event, and find variety event. One of my favorites was the cakes in a can. And of course, all the great meals. Even their travel ships have rooms of vending machines for the travelers, with microwaves provided. I would certainly not worry about dates on the products in Japan.
This has become a pretty popular tourist stop over the years so the food gets refreshed fairly often. You're really paying for the weirdness of it all. Fun spot for some Instagram photos I suppose. It's in Akihabara if anyone wants to go looking for it. The signs mostly tell people to not leave graffiti, don't pee on the ground and that your make out session may be caught on camera. Lol!
This whole thing is a plot to a horror movie. Vending machines selling sketchy packages with nonsensical stories that bounce between sexual fantasy and government conspiracy stacked tightly in the dark in an industrial area? I'd watch that.
That might be implied, but I think there's no prize. You can see other videos about these specific vending machines and everybody got ripped off. At best, it's probably a prize worth $10, as every item costs nearly $10.
Mike Chen went to this place a few years back and he thought it was weird and creepy. I'm inclined to agree with him! I'm all about Japanese vending machines, but I think I'd pass on this shop.
This store is in Akihabara, near the Mansei Building, plenty of Japan-based RUclipsrs have visited it before. The creepy pasta short story on the biscuit package is to discourage people from buying it normally, and only meant for emergency use. The canned yakitori has been charitably described by some RUclipsrs who tried it as "dog food" 🤣
@@GWNHomestead Can you verify the claims about the Facebook page then? People are saying that Bacons has he/him on there and I wanna at least back that up.
Stories got weirder and weirder and more risque to say the least. 4th box out of 23…only to get animal crackers. Those Cream Collons looks like digestive Combos snacks.
The bread is a pun.
Panda bread
"Pan da" is Japanese for "It's bread"
Hehehe 😂
I want to see a vending machine that sells tiny models of vending machines to buy as souvenirs at the vending machine gallery.
Great idea !!!
This is superb

It's in Akihabara if anyone wants to go looking for it. The signs mostly tell people to not leave graffiti, don't pee on the ground and that your make out session may be caught on camera. Lol!
It may be 2900 yen and probably not worth it, but I'd totally have gone for the goldfish windchime
This whole thing is a plot to a horror movie. Vending machines selling sketchy packages with nonsensical stories that bounce between sexual fantasy and government conspiracy stacked tightly in the dark in an industrial area? I'd watch that.
Why is nobody else bringing up the shape of that, "leopard" cookie? 😂😭😵
I wonder if you were to buy all the mystery boxes, if one of them has a more expensive prize/treat?
That might be implied, but I think there's no prize. You can see other videos about these specific vending machines and everybody got ripped off. At best, it's probably a prize worth $10, as every item costs nearly $10.
What is going on with those short stories?! Wanting to touch the b**bs of the woman at the racetrack?!?! WHAT???
You might want to try a polarizer filter, it cuts down the reflections when you film through glas.
Always happy to watch your videos!
There was one in the vending machine at 4:20
Yes, that way people can claim that the cameraman is actually a woman.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 Im sick of people claiming its a woman when its clearly a man 🤦♀️ if only they disprove the rumors.
@@DarkAngellean why is it "clearly" a man ? just because they have short hair ? it's stupid to assume who they are just based on a blurry reflection
@@dreadsin1747 Another idiot who can't recognize man hands.
UHMM WHAT TF APP is that? Real time converts it on your screen that is sick.
Mike Chen went to this place a few years back and he thought it was weird and creepy. I'm inclined to agree with him! I'm all about Japanese vending machines, but I think I'd pass on this shop.
And when Mike went that popcorn machine was out of order too! Lol
The canned strawberry muffin actually looks pretty good
This store is in Akihabara, near the Mansei Building, plenty of Japan-based RUclipsrs have visited it before. The creepy pasta short story on the biscuit package is to discourage people from buying it normally, and only meant for emergency use. The canned yakitori has been charitably described by some RUclipsrs who tried it as "dog food" 🤣
Another RUclipsr, CDawgVA has been to that exact place before and also had the Yakitori in a can. Turns out it was dog food.
I've see videos about people visiting this place! I've wanted to go to it for years because of the vibe it gives off.
Even tho i have seen this done by many others..it's still nice to see other people reaction/thoughts about it
This is as close to a vending machine graveyard as you're going to get!
This looks like a place that a serial killer would lure his victims into and then write about them on these mystery boxes. Really creepy
this looks like an old horror japanese game scenario
I love how vending machines in America just drop the stuff your buying, but the Japanese ones have a little platform that Carrie’s it down gently
thank you for buying $7 canned bread so we dont have to
The place looks abandoned
It seems you've done this before a few years ago, also in Japan. I remember that video where you got the beetle at this creepy shop.
It’s not really a vending machine shop more like vending machine piss alley😮
im interested who owns these machines lol
Dear DancingBacons, love your vids!! What do you use to film? iphone/gopro? Please answer! Thank you
Weird and enjoyable video! Thank you, DancingBacons.
I like mystery boxes
ahhh Ms. Bacon, you have learned the ancient secret of Japanese vending machine! PS, another GREAT reflection @7:23
Mrs. bacon isnt in this video. And the reflection in 7:23 looks pretty masculine to me.
Both people on the channel are woman one just has short hair
@@GWNHomestead Dont start what? The original commenter shouldn't have used the wrong labels if you didnt want to "start".
@@GWNHomestead Can you verify the claims about the Facebook page then? People are saying that Bacons has he/him on there and I wanna at least back that up.
@@Zorovee you are correct its a male and female ..god knows where it comes from that they are both females ..lol
Stories got weirder and weirder and more risque to say the least. 4th box out of 23…only to get animal crackers.
Those Cream Collons looks like digestive Combos snacks.
so much packaging for so little food, this is how people create all this waste in this world
