Pot Vending Machine
The city that popularized the fast food drive-thru has a new innovation: 24-hour medical marijuana vending machines.

Meat Vending Machine For 24-Hour Sausage Service
How many times have you left the bar at the end of the night and wanted nothing more than a big ol’ piece of meat in your mouth? Now a butcher in Spain has stocked a sausage-packed vending machine outside the store for all your meaty late-night needs.
“With three stores in Northern Spain, Izarzugaza has been operating for four generations in more or less the traditional way. Not long ago the store began selling online, however, and delivering to customers as far-flung as Segovia and Madrid. Even more interesting, though, is that it has installed a vending machine outside its Mundaka shop that sells a variety of meats, sausages, sandwiches and other goods around the clock. Products sold within the machine vary with the season, so that summer offerings might include pasta salads while the emphasis is more on meatballs and sausages in the wintertime.” link
