Looks like you got yourself a small business! ;) Figure out how to make such product, then sell to vending machine owners or even shop owners with vending machine in their store.
Uh oh, you know it's going to be a really strange vending machine if the vending machine aficionado expert DancingBacons is calling it the strangest vending machine in the world.
You know it’s gonna be a really weird video when the title says “Eating the Strangest Vending Machine in the World.” edit: the name of the video has since been changed😂 I thought it was a good name I laughed and immediately clicked on it
I've seen multiple videos of this vending machine area, I think the mystery boxes are mainly for the tourists because its always the tourists who go there and buy them, only to be disappointed by having Daiso items inside at a serious mark-up. One video I saw there was a group of tourists and they were warned by a local that the boxes were basically a scam.
Tourist trap and, to be honest, probably a money laundering operation. Cash-only + no specific stock means an easy way for organized crime to wind up with clean, taxed money.
This was such a clever business idea. Set up shop with unusual floor plan and creepy ambiance, fill machines with cheap and unrelated items, wrap some in paper with nonsensical stories, never explain any of it, and profit. I think this shop was designed to create an urban legend or give tourists a fun story to tell back home. I love it. 100% would visit and buy daiso candy in a creepy mystery box
I couldn't click on here fast enough when I saw 'Dancing Bacons' and 'Vending Machines', I've missed those videos so much. The stories on the boxes in the vending machines are what you pay for, not so much the contents, it's a great way for the writers to make a little extra money and you get a quirky little story🙂, and there are people from around the world that come to Japan just for the vending machines! Personally I think they're awesome, I'd love to try all the different ones 😁. Great video, thanks for uploading ❤️
Yeah that makes sense to me When they said "dollar store biscuits" the first thing that came to mind was "maybe the writing makes it a little experience" (that only really works if you can read Japanese lol) but it doubling as a way for writers to make a little extra pocket change is also rlly nice
@@jz4057 well even if it was translated word for word in english to us it would still be weird and not make much sense, the beginning of a sentence for japanese people is different from us, so even if translated it would translate to not proper english
I've seen other people make videos about this place but no matter how many times I watch about it, it never stops being interesting. The pun on the bread can made me laugh "Strawberry no Pan da" (It's Strawberry Bread) and has a panda on the can.
The inner letter with a short story about sex trafficking wasn’t enough to make you mystery box hungry? That was sarcasm. I would have thrown that box away unopened after reading that "story." This guy is orders of magnitude more of a risk taker than I am.
This might be my favorite video on this channel. The place, the boxes, looks like a videogame. I love how you get a little treat for reading through strangers secrets
There’s actually a horror story about one of those small little alleyway vending machine places. I think the story goes that at night you may feel like someone is behind you and it’s a woman’s ghost
8:08 The Calpis soda on the top of the machines is a creepy reference to a series of unsolved Japanese murders in 1985, when somebody placed poisoned bottles on the top of machines, killing 12 people who drank them.
@@CaskStrength777 Yeah "paraquat murders". Some of the poisoned cans were on top of the machine, some were wedged into the machine so two came out. Getting free stuff from vending machines in Japan is considered dangerous like taking candy from strangers, the whole affair played right into Japan's law and order culture.
It’s entertaining (? not sure that’s the word I’m looking for) to imagine the paraquat murderer was a high schooler in ‘85 who now owns this shop. Occasionally, when restocking the machines, they place one poisoned item inside, and they wait and wait for the day someone opens that special box… a true game of fate and chance.
I'm glad that you tried some of the mystery boxes! Too bad the contents weren't really worth the money. It was great that you did the translate on the boxes and and the signs too! I don't think I've seen any do that before! 😄👍
I've seen people buy those boxes and ask someone who can read Japanese about the stories It ranges from anything about random stories to not safe for work stories depending on which box you get I think . You are basically paying for the experience of getting stories attached to a box
When converting japanese to English. Use deepl, its an awesome software specially for japanese. It's much better than Google translate. Deeply also has an app, although not as intuitive as Google translate, but works OK to get accurate results.
5:32 To DB : In fact , those mystery boxes works like lottery. There is a chance to win something more valuable like a Swtich or something.(Or just regular random cheap prize.) The wrapping paper are just cheap recycles. (This kind machine is also kind common here in Taiwan).
I've seen other videos of the same vending machines from a while ago and it looks like there are a lot more mystery boxes now. I wonder if there are more foreign tourists buying them since the other videos, so they know people who can't understand Japanese will get a kick out of buying one. Thanks for visiting.
Oh this place! I hink I remeber Akidearst covering this place when she was on a vending machine high. There can be some pretty weird items in there. But Atleast its an interesting experience.
Even though you paid 5 times the amount for the biscuits from the dollar. I think it's pretty cool, the vendor took the time to wrap each put stories on it and gave the potential consumer something to wonder about and something read. So even though the cookies were not worth the money, I think what you're paying for is the experience and the Wonder of not knowing what you'll get and being able to read the stories. Not worth the money but a pretty cool idea for sure. From Arizona, USA
It's so eerie! The place, the vending machines, and then those mystery boxes wrapped in paper with strange stories printed on it. That would all be too creepy for me. Even those panda cans are creepy.

Oh, I remember seeing this quite a few years ago on a different UA-camrs channel Sophia Nygard if I remember properly, she went to this particular vending machine area and found a plastic Hercules beetle and then found a very interesting kind of soup. I think they may have had the panda kind of whatever type of food it was but it’s been a while since I’ve seen the video so I’m going off of a vague memory, anyways I was thinking about this place quite recently, but I didn’t have time to see any videos regarding this interesting vending machine shop because I’ve been busy with family over the holidays. Thanks for making the video. I personally want to go to this place in Japan, although I do have a language barrier, because I do not speak or read any Japanese whatsoever. Also, I don’t know what I’ll
About 10 yrs ago there was a tv show where 2 comedians randomly walked around Tokyo looking for something interesting. They tried a 1000-yen vending machine whenever they saw one. After getting tons of crap (some really funny junk) they got a Nintendo DS.
I love these vending machine vids, when you are able to, you should revisit old ones you been to around different areas a try things you havent before!
I have seen a lot of your videos, but this one is truly creepy for a vending machine store and looks like a place where people would go pee before they go to a high class restaurant. I am surprised that you continue to film this even after it got dark you, sir are a brave one.
I really thought before you unwrapped the biscuits that the vending machine with the wrapped boxes and odd writing would be some kind of mystery book vending machine. You read a short summary on the box without being able to see the cover, author, etc., pick which one you like, and get to try a new book. But alas it was only cheap biscuits.
I desperately want to find a vending machine that gives out functional small versions of other vending machines. Perhaps that you can build slowly into a fully functioning working model as you buy parts
I remember going here, but wasn't brave enough to eat any of the contents inside the boxes we bought as I wasn't sure how old they'd be (but knowing Japan they were probably totally fresh and fine) 😆
I saw one of the questionable meat cans being canned bear meat curry, which I think is a delicacy in one part of Japan, probably Osaka? Edit: I did some more reading, and it seems all the exotic meats are canned curry from Hokkaido. Todo (a species of sealion), Ezoshika (Ezo deer?) and kuma (bear). Only ever heard of bear meat curry before
i imagine the whole time..going to the creepy-dark-vending corner, and then a big monster hand grab you, and take you in another strange world, do you have to escape from
I also think it's pretty cool that the cookies had the names of each animal on them and the words were in English. So Japanese children not only get a tasty snack they get to practice another language. LOL
It's interesting to know this vending machine is real and still there. I remember seeing it in a video a few years ago, but thought I might've made it up since it's been so long
I might certainly check expiration dates on products from these machines. Something tells me they aren't used much at all and those food items may have been in there a long time.
From all the variety of videos of vending machines in Japan that I have seen, they are a well used product in their society. They are a dating event, a teach the children event, travel to them event, and find variety event. One of my favorites was the cakes in a can. And of course, all the great meals. Even their travel ships have rooms of vending machines for the travelers, with microwaves provided. I would certainly not worry about dates on the products in Japan.
This has become a pretty popular tourist stop over the years so the food gets refreshed fairly often. You're really paying for the weirdness of it all. Fun spot for some Instagram photos I suppose. It's in Akihabara if anyone wants to go looking for it. The signs mostly tell people to not leave graffiti, don't pee on the ground and that your make out session may be caught on camera. Lol!

An experience for sure, a bit of excitement and a lot of strangeness 😂❤️ Definitely more about the experience, not the items seems to me, especially the stories.
This store is in Akihabara, near the Mansei Building, plenty of Japan-based UA-camrs have visited it before. The creepy pasta short story on the biscuit package is to discourage people from buying it normally, and only meant for emergency use. The canned yakitori has been charitably described by some UA-camrs who tried it as "dog food" 🤣
I've been trying to order the canned panda bread to Canada for so long. Ever since a UA-camr taste tested every flavor. I want to try them all so bad; and keep some for a survival box since they don't go bad. 😭
@@jessierichardson727 yep that's who I watched when I first saw those cute panda breads 😭🖤 I wish I had an American friend so they could order it for me and ship it to 🇨🇦 lol!! Same with Uncrustables™...I can't order them from anywhere!
@@brittanylessard3531 uncrustables would be a bit of a pain to ship since they're frozen. Buy a sandwich cutter instead. They make ones in the shape of the uncrustables, and pandas, and all kinds of stuff. Make a PBJ with white bread, use the cutter. Uncrustable. Really nothing special about them.
I used to eat the Yakitori can when I was a little about 50 years ago. Yes it’s a long seller. The size of can was one third of the one on video though. I open the can and put it on a heater for snack. Originally accompany for drinking , camping or emergency. And the first mystery box, I guess you were supposed to read the other side of wrapping paper? I could read some parts😊
@@GWN_Garage Can you verify the claims about the Facebook page then? People are saying that Bacons has he/him on there and I wanna at least back that up.
Mike Chen went to this place a few years back and he thought it was weird and creepy. I'm inclined to agree with him! I'm all about Japanese vending machines, but I think I'd pass on this shop.
Those vending machine mystery boxes feel like the premise for some horror movie... *shivers*
I commented too soon! Those dark corners are creepy too!

Not sure about those specific ones but, Amazon has different kinds. I have a pen style that works good.

I've been trying to order the canned panda bread to Canada for so long. Ever since a UA-camr taste tested every flavor. I want to try them all so bad; and keep some for a survival box since they don't go bad. 😭
Yes I saw them on Emmy’s channel. So cute 😮
@@jessierichardson727 yep that's who I watched when I first saw those cute panda breads 😭🖤 I wish I had an American friend so they could order it for me and ship it to 🇨🇦 lol!! Same with Uncrustables™...I can't order them from anywhere!
@@brittanylessard3531 uncrustables would be a bit of a pain to ship since they're frozen. Buy a sandwich cutter instead. They make ones in the shape of the uncrustables, and pandas, and all kinds of stuff. Make a PBJ with white bread, use the cutter. Uncrustable. Really nothing special about them.
@@kudzu_ I do make them myself and I'll tell you right now it doesn't taste the same
1st. Always love your channel
Loved the video. Hope you get the beetle next time and enjoy the blue ball until then.
I used to eat the Yakitori can when I was a little about 50 years ago. Yes it’s a long seller. The size of can was one third of the one on video though. I open the can and put it on a heater for snack. Originally accompany for drinking , camping or emergency.
And the first mystery box, I guess you were supposed to read the other side of wrapping paper? I could read some parts😊
You should never eat a vending machine.
😀
I love how vending machines in America just drop the stuff your buying, but the Japanese ones have a little platform that Carrie’s it down gently
Luv the short story!
2:11 wow! you really are always prepared! just bustin' out the travel scissors!
ahhh Ms. Bacon, you have learned the ancient secret of Japanese vending machine! PS, another GREAT reflection @7:23
Mrs. bacon isnt in this video. And the reflection in 7:23 looks pretty masculine to me.
Both people on the channel are woman one just has short hair
@@GWN_Garage Dont start what? The original commenter shouldn't have used the wrong labels if you didnt want to "start".
@@GWN_Garage Can you verify the claims about the Facebook page then? People are saying that Bacons has he/him on there and I wanna at least back that up.
@@Zorovee you are correct its a male and female ..god knows where it comes from that they are both females ..lol
Mike Chen went to this place a few years back and he thought it was weird and creepy. I'm inclined to agree with him! I'm all about Japanese vending machines, but I think I'd pass on this shop.
And when Mike went that popcorn machine was out of order too! Lol
This is as close to a vending machine graveyard as you're going to get!
It seems you've done this before a few years ago, also in Japan. I remember that video where you got the beetle at this creepy shop.
