  • Japan is famous for having amazing number of vending machines! You can find these vending machines scattered across the cities and in the countryside as well as in shrines...basically everywhere you go! So I decided to try out some of these vending machines.

  • @slippz4267
    @slippz4267 3 года назад +2145

    The reason the beetle toys had smalls rocks wrapped in newspaper
    is because the vending machines work off a weight sensor on the tray
    so the machine can tell if it has dispensed the item or if it has stuck somewhere
    or not dropped.

    American Cup Noodles is actually very different from Japanese Cup Noodle. Even the name is different. American Cup Noodles has an S at the end. It all comes down to cultural differences. American Cup Noodle(S) are meant to be eaten quickly with a fork while the Japanese Cup Noodle is mean to be savored with chopsticks and slurped. It comes down to the target audience even if they were both made by the same company.

    • @KaotikBOOO
      @KaotikBOOO 3 года назад +17

      Not really sure about that, cup noodles aren't really considered anything other than a cheap and fast meal here in Japan
      Talking about Nissin cup noodle, you got instant noodles that are actually a real meal
      I'd say it's more because there's way more choice regarding instant noodles than abroad and it's usually cheaper than their American counterparts
      They need to be on par taste wise or they'll just end up crushed by the concurrents

I remember I had a Hank Hill moment when I went to see my friend in Misawa coming from Tokyo. I was waiting for a train by myself in the middle of nowhere in the countryside, and thought it would be a great time to have a beer as it was summertime. The station I was at was just a platform, a bench, and two vending machines. One of the machines was for soda and the other one was a beer vending machine. Got me a tall boy of Asahi Super Dry that was ice cold.

    For middle aged Japanese like me, vending machine foods are remainder of our childhood, which making them a kind of special thing even though we can find much better food all around us. Because vending machine food wasn't common thing around our house buck then, but something we can find when we go out with parents and brothers and sisters to have fun. So more likely I think we are enjoying the good memories attached to the mussy fries when we eat them as a grown up. 😅
