Thursday, July 31st, 2008

China’s vending industry is booming. Vending machines are rather new in China, but they are now everywhere. In China, they have vending machines for anything you could ever imagine.

In China, they have got vending machines for your regular everyday use, not just snacks and soda. It is now possible to go grocery shopping in China without even going to a store. For meats and veggies, they have “honor” vending machines, where you have to place your money into a locked box after picking out what you want. This takes a lot of trust from the owners of these machines to trust the people to place their money in the box.

Another unique vending machine in China is rice washing vending machines. Farmers can take their hauls of rice to these machines and wash all of their rice easily.

China put a ban on tobacco vending machines though, the worlds largest market for cigarettes now have a ban on the vending machines that carry them. You can still purchase all of your alcohol needs through vending machines now.

Did you get in a fight with the wife or girlfriend on the way home from a guys night out? No problem, stop at a flower vending machine for some fresh roses to put a smile on her face.
