  In Romania I came across an egg vending machine. There was a padded cushion where the eggs dropped down. http://www.eggvendingmachines.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Egg_vending_machine.jpg http://www.eggvendingmachines.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09...

  There are cheese vending machines in several towns in the Alps: https://www.filbing-distribution.com/s/cc_images/cache_6004167.jpg?t=1485763807 https://www.filbing-distribution.com/s/cc_images/cache_60041... Quite useful actually, avoids long queues on Sunday morning when everyone wants to pick up some cheese on the way home

    Sunday morning...on the way home? What cultural thing that I'm not aware of would the population in mass be coming home...(church?) that would cause such a large queue at the cheese shop?

      City dwellers driving back home after the school holidays (two weeks in Jan/Feb/Mar, staggered depending on the city, to reduce congestion on the slopes) Skiing is serious business here :)

        Can't be that serious if you're driving back Sunday morning. Serious would be skiing at least half-day, and driving back Sunday afternoon! Or ski full day, and overnight drive it back!

    I used to live in a small French village, and one year a pizza vending machine appeared. It actually made really decent pizza. I think it was restocked by the local pizza place, to handle late night business because they closed absurdly early.
