    Well that's a convenient way to keep your skin free from blemishes. I like.

      You know, when I first learn about a lot of these off the wall Japanese vending machines, my immediate thought is "Hey, that makes a lot of sense!".

      Japanese capitalists really know how to tap into a market. It's a wonder that the urge to cram absolutely everything into a vending machine has never really caught fire in the USA....

    I've seen this same same vending machine here at malls in the US (Boston) too. I wonder how it makes sure you only take what you paid for. I didn't look real close at the machine.
