Just hook it to my veins.

 

[Al-ibn Kermit]

So we get pizza vending machines, but they're decreasing the size of soda cups out of concern for the public's health.

Inconsistency, FTW

Also.....holy shit yes! Day 1.

Well what's so unhealthy about a pizza? A soda is just liquid candy but a pizza at least has some dairy and a bit of meat/tomato. The crust itself is no worse than any sandwich bread, right? I would think.

 

[Bombadil]

No. Now the voices will start again.

 

[TylerD]

I give the Italian language video a 10. Also, hooray technology!

We can do anything!

Yes, Pizza is one of the healthiest foods you can eat.

edit: wow apparently there's 1 vending machine for every 23 people in Japan o.o

Tried it before.

Very disappointing.

All it does is microwave frozen food.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

I'm curious to try one, don't know if I'll spontaneously buy a whole pizza too often the way I might if I ran into a soda machine and bought one. Can't imagine the quality is too great. Putting one next to a Red Box is genius though. Or could be anyway, depending on how much stuff fits inside the machine it'd be really annoying to have to make frequent trips to refill the cheese and pepperoni.

Dominos lists a serving size of one of their medium pizza's as 1/8th of the pizza. That should tell you something.

We had a public presentation of that last month in Croatia.

I give you some photos (including local celebrities you never heard of of):

 

[Esch]

well, i would rail your local celebrities like the japanese bullet train

 

[abusori]

It took 3 pete-sir's before I had to stop watching the video.

It didn't look like the best pizza, but vending machines work at 3AM. So I'm all fucking for this.

 

[systemfehler]

Reminds me of SNL and "it is Almost Pizza"

 

[lunchtoast]

Crust is so thin, hope it comes out crunchy.

 

[Femmeworth]

Someone tell Timedog about this.

 

[Brofist]

The food in this thing is disgusting. And as you can see by the prices not exactly a bargain. 350 yen for some soggy microwaved tasting fries? Yeah I'll walk the extra 5 minutes to the nearest McDonald's.

It can't even distribute the cheese properly.

 

[Surface of Me]

Hmm, looks like it'd be perfect for late night pizza cravings.

 

[smokeymicpot]

"You don't!?"

Now all he needs is a taco vending machine.

 

[Nose Master]

Everyone seems to have glazed over how it looked when it came out of the oven. I've seen better quality pizza in gas stations, ffs.

 

[FillerB]

It looks pretty good for a pizza that was made in 2.5 minutes from scratch by a vending machine to me. Of course it isn't going to look or taste as well as handmade pizza's or even as good as one that rolled out of a giant factory. But for what it is, it's pretty damn impressive.

 

[Al-ibn Kermit]

Yes, Pizza is one of the healthiest foods you can eat.

It gets the Timedog stamp of approval.

 

[milanbaros]

I remember being quite overwhelmed by the number of vending machines where I lived in Japan. They were everywhere! Then I went to Taiwan and started missing them.

Taiwan, incidentally, has 1 7-Eleven store for every 23 people.

Taiwan has a million 7-Elevens?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Ahh USA is catching up in Japan with Engrish?

 

[JABEE]

Does the Pizza taste good? I'm guessing it doesn't. Has anyone tried it?

 

[ClassyPenguin]

I wouldn't care, I'm not a pizza Nazi.

 

[Mdk7]

I'm Italian and i've never, ever heard of that fugly pizza machine.

 

[way more]

Actually the machine has a deep fryer built into it. The difference between that and McDonalds is the vending machine fries wait around for less time.

 

[Polari]

I don't care if it's shitty pizza, I can definitely see a use for this on the way home at 4AM.

 

[DonMigs85]

It's a pastry. Usually filled with something like red bean paste or chocolate. And are awesome when freshly baked, though I suppose the ones from that machine are frozen then microwaved.

We have Korean ice cream inspired by this here. vanilla ice cream sandwich with red bean, chocolate or strawberry syrup.

Well after travelling the whole country this afternoon and counting them all up it's actually only 983,281. I just thought I'd round up.

Is that more or less than the number of KFCs there?

 

[smuldegspaj]

isnt this machine missing one step?

fermenting the dough?

 

[Shadybiz]

I know just the place.

Timedog's house?

 

[BertramCooper]

That crust has to be pretty vile.

I'd rather the machines use decent pre-made dough than whatever the hell this machine uses.

First of, it says fresh but it's obviously all processed. Then the base is pure carbohydrates which is basically sugar. Good chance there is also sugar in the tomato sauce. Dairy is fat. There is not one healthy ingredient. It's just as bad as a soda.

 

[M-PG71C]

I can see the usefulness in this. But I like kick-ass vending machines like this, its just too cool.

If I see one, I'm so trying it out!

 

[dabig2]

I'll try it for novelty, but the pizza in the Youtube video looks naaaaaasty. I'd have to be completely wasted to eat one of those.

Speaking of which, these would do gangbusters if you put them on university campuses around the library and/or bars and clubs.

 

[dab0ne]

It seems ridiculous but it's probably not much different than how a frozen pizza is made on the assembly line.

 

[YoungHav]

The fattening of the US is comical. Bring this on, I want vending machine pizza dammit!!

 

[Limedust]

The prevailing thought in my head: Every time I pass one of these machines I am going to turn to my wife, flex hard, and grunt "LEEEEEEEEEEEET'S PEEEEEEEEEEETZAAAAAA!" like an 80's wrestler. Anyone else?

 

[Eyeh4wk]

Anyone else?

For me it's "Letsa peetza! " in this guy's voice:

the first step to being healthy: vegetable vending machines

 

[Jarlaxle]

Put these into dorm halls in colleges and just sit back and profit.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

stayed in a hotel in Chicago in the mid-90's that had a mini-pizza vending machine.

It cost about $8 a pizza and took like 10 minutes. I remember my brother and I just hanging around the machine waiting for it to be done.



It was some of the worst shit I've ever eaten in my life, naturally.

But I thought in Amurrika pizza was a vegetable!
