Wow~! This is amazing. I really want to check this out.
Ericsurf6 that be awesome 😄
Omg please do Eric. I love your videos
Plz make a vid trying this place
f qfe
Yes Ericsurf6 Please go check this place out take Paul and Boo Bradley with you. Would love to see all of you make an awesome video at this place.
That straw stab was a bit aggressive.. I'm sensing some past trauma between you and an orange.
is understandable what kind of fruit does not have a word that rhymes with it.
Or a recalcitrant juice box...
Orange you glad it wasn't a banana ?
@@world4saker There actually is a word that rhymes with orange! There's just no "perfect" rhymes. Sporange is the closest rhyme. There are also half rhymes such as lozenge. Odd word, but technically a rhyme according to the Oxford dictionary. 😊
They need to orange their lifestyle to change.
I feel like college campuses need this. So fast and easy. Would save so much time.
America and other countries had them and were called Automats. Last one in NYC closed like 8 years ago.
This could be in genius in a forward-thinking college that really cares about the Earth and would provide eco-friendly Packaging... As it stands... It's just kind of trashy LOL
It's called a microwave, colleges offers it's use for free.
Of course unlike nations like Japan, you can't expect that to be available, or the high school's kitchen to be available to let you cook a meal (I believe that in Japan there are cooking clubs and the equipment are usually borrowed often, but in the West they don't t let anyone touch them lest they come under a case of irresponsibility.)
But if college campuses had any of these machines we wouldn't have such memes like the *Jalapeno Mac & Cheese Kid* to watch. 📺😂
Most colleges require you to have a food card, with hundreds on it already. Just another way to squeeze people for every last drop they can. If you're so short on time, pack a damn lunch.
You should more videos like these in Japan. I like that you're quiet and calm, focused on the products rather than yada yada like other channels.
I like it with out talking.
LiqurMeUp lol same
yada yada ahan
You do realize things like this have to be in Japan for him to film it there?
I know it’s so soothing
Anyone else notice that there's just a whole corn on the cob chillin with the snacks lol
When in doubt.... whole ass corn has you covered
Yeah i never buy the corn it probably doesnt fresh anyway
@@ofareh well obviously it won’t be fresh it’s vending machine corn
There's a video on that later on. But I don't really see corn as a snack. Pop corn I do.
Lol right???
UA-cam : bro it’s 4am, you wanna watch some silent dude in Singapore eat a bunch of vending machine meals?
Me : ok
Thai Ina Mo same it’s now 4AM
Literally me right now.
Yoo for me its 3 am lol exact same story
Its literally 3:55 am
Same
If they had these anywhere near universities/colleges, the company behind it would be rich.
I agree, but I also feel like us Americans would just straight fuck these machines up. They wouldn't last long.
I agree 😅
@@MrSanctuarys My thoughts exactly. My college campus's vending machines are inside cages, for goodness sake.
I think pizza hut, Domino's, KFC, McDonald's, Burger King and such could give vending machines a try.
Finally no more waiting in line for almost 15 minutes for a thing of fries, that's not that big.
For those either too young or those who did not live in the New York/New Jersey Metro area, there used to be a company that used to offer ready-made/precooked meals that we behind small glass doors. The company was called Horn and Hardart. When you walk into the joint, you were met by a cashier. You would give them a couple of bucks and they would give you quarters, dimes and nickles. With change in your hands, you would get in a line that circled the restaurant. You look into the little glass window and see the meal/sandwich/desert that you wanted to buy. Put your correct changes into the change slot and the door would spring open so that you could take you item, then proceed to a table to eat. Food was excellent and very inexpensive, for the 1960's!!! Bonne apetitte!
Are you describing an AUTOMAT?
b o n n e a p e t i t t e
A simpler time.
I remember those days, I ate many a lunch from those.
That story and when I glanced at the historical photos gave me Ikea cafeteria vibes. I love their cafeteria so that sucks it doesn't currently exist.
Singapore: "Ahh this is an innovation"
Japan: "You're 50 years late pal"
at least your country innovations still better than another SE Asia countries 😁
In Vietnam, our vending machine very sucks, they didn't recognize wrinkled cash, we even not use coin and credit card is something not exist.
@@aenix i thought you were Singaporean, pardon me. So your country and mine shall learn from Singapore first, ours are more than 50 years late from Japan 😂 I saw a most of Dancing Bacons videos and amaze with Singapore innovations and technologies.
@Angel Baby they develop other things that maybe not many people know about, for example trying to create mosquitoes that don't spread disease.
@Angel Baby The conception of the vending machines was in 1902 in America but mostly finished by the 1970's
The first automat in the U.S. was opened June 12, 1902, at 818 Chestnut St.[2] in Philadelphia by Horn & Hardart
Yep~~~ This is definitely heaven for Introverts, like myself.

OMG Yessss!!!! Best place to get food and drinks!
Just disappear
It's Jimmies Not Sprinkles rude
Yupss
let's wait for vending machine that selling vending machines
Already done that
Woah what!
they have those in japan

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Growtopia: am i a joke to you
DancingBacons: Tries to make food video
Some kid in the restaurant: *EEEEEEEEEEEE*
Can you imagine one of these in your home. Someone comes out and reloads it every 6 to 8 weeks? (Good grief, I'm lazy.)
Pugs Buddy that is dystopian
I like the way you think
Not lazy, efficient. Why should we spend time planning, buying, cooking and cleaning if we do not have to? Why, why, why??????
I love how oddly satisfying this video is. The lack of verbally speaking is calming.
Dank Quan ASMR! 😁
Dank Quan How do you speak if not verbally?
He mostly normally would just use subtitles
@@Teletubbiez non verbal expressions
videos like this make me happy
I like to think this guy eats everything in one take.
It's way more entertaining that way! Lol
you mean he doesn't? subscription cancelled
I wonder that too. Does he finish everything he buys or just part and throw the rest away? AND how big is he and how much weight has he gained since starting this
@@_Majoras TA
Someone said he goes repeatedly for several days.
My university used to have these machines around the faculty but we closed them bcs they always broke down :/ probs when too many students buy constantly 24/7
If they sold so well, why wasn't there a mechanic there to fix them constantly? Makes no sense to me.
Technicians should be around to look after and high tech better & strong machines should be installed. This little investment can bring a huge gain.
Probably an inferior quality machine supplier. Thats a shame. Everyoneloses out.
Bring this to the usa and dont forget the one that has cake.....CAKE!!
Usa-chan. Haninozuka-senpai. Do not forget them... is not me who's threatening you... trust me.
@@lilstxrzz speak for yourself. People in the US range in class just like any other country. Just because your surrounded by fools doesn't mean most people are
I know this comment was made years ago but if these were to arrive in the us especially where I live a good chunk of these would be broken the sheer amount of homeless people here is upsetting and the shelters don’t have enough room to take them all in.
Damn this dude is hungry
He most likely tossed it after the video its why hes eating so much
or he tries one every lunch time. it doesnt have to be filmed in 1 sitting.
@@pyromasteralex That's what I was thinking.
Yeah! This person is like Human Kirby!
I think he's a she
I like the fact that it's right in an apartment complex.
my house is just opposite it lmao
Right!like here’s some change kids..go get dinner🤣
@@potato_x69 sure
@@potato_x69 well make sure u bring money for vending machines
Not apartment, we call it HDB flat (almost everyone live in one)
I just spent almost 20 minutes watching some dude eat microwaved meals.
just admit it you regret nothing XD
I like these videos they remind me to go visit my Japanese family lol.
Akchually xhe's non-binary, you BIGOT!!!
@@telesniper2 where did you get that information? i have checked her instagram and nothing says about her being non-binary.
imagine:
highschools: replaces lunch ladies for these (basically got frozen meals anyway), can sell recommended school lunches for them
colleges: I don't need to say anything, these would be awesome for colleges that got shitty cafe hours, put cafe leftovers in small meals for the machines, use with cash/credit/dining card
dorms: helps get people actual meals, can use cash/credit/dining card
movie theatres: get your popcorn/drink upfront, walk over to a row of these (like now movie tickets are now) and get candy/nachos/snacks.
Jacob Moore americans dont have the decency to treat these with respect
nah
This would be a great idea for a college campus..
Bork
tenah youngman And Homeless Ppl on the street.
In other words fucking impossible LMAO
I know right!! I would literally spend all my money there trying everything they have insude the vending machines 😂😂
This reminds me of my childhood in NYC. We had a place called Horn and Hardart. Walls of food behind glass doors. Put the money in, get the item behind the door. You could watch the people behind the wall preparing the food. Now long gone. I miss those days.
I would love to go there and try it out, looks amazing.
As a graphic designer I love all their packaging! I would buy the food so often. Loved that they even seemed to have LTOs.
Seriously it’s so basic
I grew up in NYC. In the city there was a famous restaurant called the Horn and Hardart. It was all "vending" style, so this idea isn't new. They'd put slices of pie, pot pies, sandwiches, stews, salads, soups... all kinds if food in little glass cubicles with glass doors and coipd rotate so the ladies in back could refill them all as they were emptied. They only cost a nickel, a dime or a quarter in those days, put it in the slot and the door unlocked. I thought it was magical, I was a little girl. It was a delicious treat my aunt would take me our to eat. Both hot and cold items. There were also coffee dispensers and tea. It made news the day they closed, the end of an era. If you were poor you could eat nourishing food there for very little. Homemade.
This stuff looks like slop, like TV dinners, compared to the Horn and Hardart.
It wasn't in prepackaged plastic trays to be microwaved. Everything came on real plates, bowls, with real silverware and cups with saucers. No preservatives, never frozen and reheated. You could pick main meals and sides'of veggies, pasta, almost anything you could think of. I don't think a college needs this unhealthy reheated stuff, it looks high in grease and salt and preservatives.
I wish it could be like those days, today. Unfortunately, there are too many people in this world that believe that they are deserving and don't have to pay, so they would rather steal or destroy what they can't have! In the USA, a lot of people have no respect for one another or other people's businesses. It's very sad. Maybe this would work in a mall, but they have food courts and such.
Great story. I just watched a video about Horn and Hardart. The last one closed in 1991.
Preservatives aren't bad, they protect you from the all natural microbes instantly trying to multiply in your food. It's a big old sham the organic and natural food industries push, no better than any other industry to be honest. But you are right that it's not that healthy. All quite high calorie and grease is never pleasant to eat.
Every college student eating ramen out of a cup: "Why are we not funding this!?"
“Ah right we can’t afford to”
5:26 When he put the spoon and fork in the table without any tissue had my anxiety go fucking crazy.
My seven-year-old son really loves your videos! We watch them together all the time. ❤️
It fascinates me that you can also order it frozen to take home for later.
I am surprised they don't have vending machines that offers to heat up food and such (microwave services).
Well, you have to assume every customer is a idiot out to get themselves killed, thus have to fool proof everything (someone putting a can in a microwave).
Many convenience stores, namely franchise ones in the USA have microwaves on site for use, they got all the necessary presets though for safety and ease of use. Some even include a cantina for fresh on the spot hot meals.
because actually cooking some good and autentic food at home, wasting less money and plastic, would be just toooo difficult
+G i u l i a.
Yes it is. You do realise it takes time to actually cook authentic food, not to mention to have the necessary skills. You also need to do the shopping as well as cleaning up. Using less money? Maybe, only if your time isn't valuable.
well, instead of spending times on internet, you can spend 15 minutes to cook something that isn't industrial shit. Your body will say thank you afterwards
I wish the United States had food vending machines.
Same!
dont you think we have enough fast food joints at every corner already ?
Won't happen cause people will graffiti,vandalism
TheRivr
They have tons of vending machines in fact they had automats: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automat
Horn & Hardart was the first and they even had cafeterias open till a few years back.
Worked for a vending company and we had mini Marts in a few businesses. No machine or person working a register, scan the items and your ID to pay for it. loads of cameras in place to prevent theft.
I wish the UK had stuff like this!
I am sure the people there love having this..now in quarantine.
I don't know why but this reminds me of airline food. 😂
I was just thinking how absolutely everything has become like airline food in the 60s...
ya, that and hospital food.
Na... hospital food is at least presnted to you, you've got to peel back all the pckaging everywhere on this stuff...
I always go on economy class for my flight and the food was 90% same packaging. How accurate.
Reminds me of tv dinners
The prices actually amaze me, fairly decent for quick meals.
Wish we had something like this in Aus!
And god I miss Calbee chips!!’
wow! 😳😳😳
that Orange juice vending machine 😋💕
thinking about how convenient this is to have under an apartment building- and it's not really that expensive either. i love innovation
Anyone else notice how the oj machine was so high tech up until the straw dispenser from the 90's?
Kristy Canning how else would you want a straw mechanism to be? Don't try and fix something if it ain't broken
@@ascottrusso am I complaining or stating it's not good enough ? Nope. I think it's funny.
Kristy Canning that straw machine was SOOOOO STAISFYING
WHY U WANNA COMPLAIN DAWG
@@beedslolkuntus2070 I'm not complaining omfg it's an observation that is kinda funny. Dear lord yall needa smoke a joint.
Kristy Canning
You have a point
Sorry mate
As someone who regularly enjoys Arizona Green Tea here. 2.50 is outrageous! Cans here tend to run 89¢.
in most vending machines or food trucks here in US they are about $2.50, but if you are not lazy you can buy them for less than a dollar at the store : )
On the day this video was uploaded, one Singapore dollar was equal to 0.72806 US dollars.
It's 99 cents in NH or MA. Even in vending machines unless you run into the glass bottles instead of the cans.
@@gyyyy53x Yes, because not being able to get to the store equals "being lazy." Plus, why do pillocks like you act like being "lazy" is the worst thing someone can be? We don't choose to exist. Being a judgmental dick is way worse than being "lazy."
If I could I’d put this in my room and make some instant snacks every 2 seconds
"I like my foods to fall, to achieve it's maximum flavor potential.."
I find it Hilarious that they have corn on the cob in the snack vending machines
11:33 I really enjoy "Arizona" drinks from the USA, extremely refreshing tea combinations. The "Arnold Palmer blend" of iced tea and lemonade available since 1991 is strange though.
moonlighter6 strange and possibly their best seller!
Heck yeah! Arizona's good :)
Rowdy Jr. Arizona tea based in Woodbury, New York.
Full of corn syrup which has a really high glycemic index, very bad for you period causes fatty liver disease. You're better off, much better off drinking anything sweetened with sugar rather than corn syrup.
green tea with ginseng my fav.
This looks so cool! You can literally see everything that's happening inside the machine.
The pizza vending machine remains my favorite!! This is pretty cool and amazing, but would be a little hesitant trying fish and prawns from a vending machine haha. Also, how is this person still hungry, unless they just love the vending line idea. Really cool.
Just a quick FYI: $3 price on the orange juice machine refers to Singapore dollars. According to an Google currency exchange, that would be $2.19 US.
Thank you for qualifying one of the many deficiencies of this video...
I didn't consider it to be a deficiency. I was just offering information.
Keep up the good work.
Plus its freshly squeezed. Try getting that somewhere for 3 in US
Agreed, not a bad price at all.
I'd totally pay $2.19, at least once, for _fresh_ orange juice and for the very entertaining little show the machine puts on while making it!
If this was in my apartment building i would never buy groceries.
I love how the screen display shows succulent stir fry in a flaming wok... then it spits out a T.V. Dinner. I couldn't stop laughing. I bet it's better than "Swanson's".
There were vending machine cafes in the US in the 1930's and 40's.
All the cool foreign drinks and you chose Arizona tea.. 😭
Could've chose a coke
Arizona tea is foreign... if you live in Singapore 😉
Honestly, I would of picked the container that looked the coolest. 🤣
@@PJ-kj3ef nice plot twist
JxstNinja'D it’s probably foreign to them.
This is unique stuff. Only if we had these vending machines in India, life would have been easy. They have healthy meals with great packaging too and hot food version are available. WOW !!!
This is truly beyond me!! I don’t know what country you are in, but from what I can sense this is a very CLEAN efficient, money cost way of eating!!
3:21 I SAW THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH
@@AccurateAsian An error computers have
Japan has vending machines that are fill twice a day with fresh foods because the culture there loves the vending machines
They don't have a choice. They are literally worked to death in Japan thus no time for the simple things in life like being at home cooking a balanced meal.
Me too n I'm in america
Prawn Chettinad with Lemon rice 😊
Tamilnadu food 😍
South Indian Cuisine ✌
the Chettinad looked so good
worth at least 4 bucks
I love how "Wild American Ginseng" is marketable in Asia like "Yunnan Mountain Pu'er" is marketable in America.
I feel like Singapore has so many cool places. Everything they do is so extra - awesome airports, shopping and now a vending machine cafe 🍵 I kinda want to go there!
If such a place existed n the US, I would keep them in business all by myself! But unlike the sane, clean Island of Singapore, the American store might not be profitable, because in America you'd have to hire an armed guard to make sure some nutcase does not spraypaint all over the place, or try to rob the machines, for food or loose change. I wish America had a "tap and go" system like so many places in Asia, but the wonderful system has not been popular here :( Thank you for a wonderful glimpse of what life can be like in a genuine culture and country.
I would never leave my flat, just go downstairs for food every 8 hours.
damn, I wish we had this in the states! this is brilliant.. I mean working long hours and not wanting to cook at night, This is perfect!
Just wanted to say, thank you for pointing out the napkin.
Love this concept, would be great to have a machine that sold reusable cutlery and a couple of recycle bins.
Too bad world isn't like u tree hugger
@@Vampybattie why are you so aggressive against people who'd like to see it use materials that are better for the environment. What's the deal bro
No one would return reusable cutlery, they would take them home or bin them. I used to work at a McCafe and people would steal or bin cutlery and those little china sauce bowls. Most people would leave them on the table but we would need to resupply every week
the chickenmaster cause he’s a bitch. He can’t help it
Bella - He isn’t living with College People still getting money from their relatives or some 30 something Sugar Daddy.
I didn’t know there was such a thing as Wild American ginseng
I love how you picked those food/items that were not usually being picked ❤ It's nice to know how they taste like
This was SO COOL!! We need this in America!😍
Brown Beauty80 No, we don't. Thanks anyway.
@WhirlingDarvish Even the orange juice machine one? That's frequesly squeezed then causes cancer?
i guess
This is just microwaved tv dinners lol
I eat a lot of Stouffer's, its actual food and pretty decent, but often does not beat others real cooking skills, I have tried Swansons and such and those are just disgusting and bland to me as its not the same real food or their recipe is just that bland..
Yeah it’s def not “ fresh food “ as the screen would make you think while your waiting for it to finish microwaving .
Yeah, so funny, the guy above your comment was fascinated about ordering it frozen!! :-))))
Ikr and they are trying to make it look like it's fresh food made in the box lol
plnkfloydian Try Michael Angelo's eggplant parmesan. Their lasagna is delicious too.
I love the fact your at least trying some south Indian food! Makes me so happy!
If I hadn't seen this but only been told about it, I would not have believed it. Japan is so far ahead of the U.S. in this field that it's truly amazing. Thanks for sharing this fantastic experience.
your videos are amazing in their simplicity and I'm completely addicted to your channel. thanks from the United States :)
That's it, I'm moving to singapore
In the Doris Day/Cary Grant movie, That Touch of Mink, she meets her friend several times at the automat the friend , played by the wife from the Honeymooners TV show, works at. You can see how a automat was in America.
Automats had cooks cooking the food in the back so they are a bit different.
I love that Pocari Sweat is a vending machine beverage. So cool!
love the idea but way to much packaging. going into the trash lots of waste. that part I do not like. pretty soon everyone is going to be living in a dump. unless you can recycle without causing more pollution
Teresa Johnson Singapore not so strict about recycling yet, maybe one day
Shut up with that tree humping bullshit
japanese are worse than this. this doesn't look too bad. the japanese ones look like plastic overload.
Our big blue bubble can't say it herself so here you go thank you thank you thank you! You are seeing a problem and you are helping to solve it! Even with words your message will spread and maybe we can get one person to open their eyes to the problem that is trash... Get one person to start recycling! That would be a giant difference and Mother Earth will remember it!
Also anytime anyone bullies you via the Internet take the one to two seconds that it takes to report and block them! it will help maintain your own inner happiness LOL as they are clearly fighting some demons of Their Own... ✌😊
I'm oddly fascinated.
Me 2
I love all of these videos... i completely lose track of time watching
Some of the food looked like it was an old hungry man tv dinner you find in the back of the freezer, smells of old socks,onions and garlic! But a very cool idea and would be sold out in usa schools, malls ect ..... especially the fresh orange juice thats awesome 👌
Those are the most sophisticated looking vending machines that I've ever seen
Either they went there multiple days for content or they were truly feasting that day lol
I appreciate the light commentary in writing at the bottom. So much better than annoying wanting to be funny commentators blabbering through the whole video.
You have done a great job. Thank you. I like the close-up pictures food.
Great Video. I loved that you had no annoying Music in the background. I need more videos like this of you going out and showing Unique stuff like this. TY
Thank you so much for this video! I don't get to travel much, so its nice when people like you post quality content so I can see what I'm missing. Lol.
Those Arizona Teas are sold here in the USA for REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY cheap. Thanks for the video! I just love seeing all these interesting vending machines!!!
I miss Automats. We still had one locally years ago when I was very young. My grandfather would occasionally take me there. A bygone era that I miss. It just had this ambience that I always enjoyed. Like I was in an old black and white detective movie except it was all gleaming chrome and teal. Also they had the best pies...
We need that orange juice machine on campus.
Dang! Arizona's are 2 for a $1.00 in USA! Mix and match any flavors. I guess it's expensive because it's imported there.
Dang, I really wanted them to order the “sweet corn” lol. I have never seen a vending machine that has corn on the cob. But nothing in Japan or Singapore surprises me anymore. 😂😂 I’ve seen it all through this channel. ❤️
This would have come in handy when I was a poor college student with social anxiety
Pretty cool. $3 for drink and only $5 for dinner
"Refreshing, light and tangy"

It was an empty container, he drunk it all.

sentino68 don’t be that bitch 😂😂
5:32 Napkin.... Ah, yes, of course, fascinating.
I was having a mild panic attack when you turned the cup upside down. "Nooooo!"
They used to have analog versions of this in the USA back in the 1940's and 50's. It was called "The Automat".
Just because he got the tea I liked the vid
If the pandemic keeps up, these vending machines might become a worldwide culture.
America would and could definitely benefit from this! Food should be available to all! How convenient to just have a vending machine
Oh boy a classic American dish salmon over spaghetti 🤷♂️
It said 'Western Delight' not 'American'
Lol oh I forgot a very popular dish in Europe 👍🤦♂️
an italian died here(me)
an alaskan died here
This is great. As a single person, even though I am a chef, this is still a cool concept. I like the idea of people making their own food but on a convenience level, I could completely see how this is appealing. But we couldn't have them in the U.S. Too many scumbags (probably teenagers) would be trying to break them or rip them off. Our people don't have the respect of Asian countries...
Toast the ghost ---- I totally agree with you! I would love to invest into opening up a market like this. Maybe it would need a security guard/ technician to help people with any problems or difficulties!?
Huge liability. One dumbass gets burned by the food and it's a huge lawsuit.
Jantina Haspels lol so true
Mainly why we wont see them over here outside of Asia, i cant help but feel people would vandalize the machines or as previously commented, someone would try to make a lawsuit
You won't have as much waste
i love this kind of videos ,it give me chills
I want such vendcafes in India too😭
nah..company knows how clever we are hihihi..thieves even take whole ATM machine with themselves :-)
@FichDich InDemArsch I didn't meant anything like this uncle..
looks decent enough for vending machine food.
