Starbucks Vending Machine

Starbucks Vending Machine

Starbucks put in a vending machine on our campus, which serves up hot cans of their drinks (for $2.50 per serving). We’re not sure how they heat up the can … my guess is the plastic ends and wrapper are put on afterwards (the can is just like an aluminum soup can).

What the crap is that…

I will only buy one drink, and it doesn't have a star or any bucks in it's name. My drink is so popular, they named a Cervid after it.

We have beer in the vending machines in our dorm here in Praha…. not recommending it but still.

I have actually purchased a beer from a vending machine. I was in Japan and the beer tasted like ammonia but regardless it was an experience that I will never forget. Not only that, but also the massive amounts of pornography that could be found in vending machines. When you think about it, is there anything that cannot be sold from these technological marvels? I think the History channel should do a special on them.

That thing looks strikingly like those tubes that they use at the bank. You know the ones I'm talking about, put your money in and it gets sucked away. I think I've just discovered a completely new means of distribution for Starbucks!

I am a student at Seattle University and they have just put a Starbucks vending machine in the 3rd floor of the business school. Testing it out. It is Valentines Day and the machine has a sign on it that says it will be operating at 4:00pm, being a shareholder I am very excited to try their experiment.
