This is more a myth than anything else.








They're sold out of dodgy, back-alley storefronts, not vending machines. :haw:

[Machast]

[Big_Dave]

there not as good but i found these at uni

[mekon]

Used to live off the ECU coffee vending machine when at Mt.Lawley in the early hours of the morning in the editing suites. It was shit but all there was...

[Cam]

I have found vending machines that sell cheesecake flavoured icecream. It's pretty much the best machine ever.

[Professor Redfern]

Where is your vending Tommy Lee Jones Boss coffee vending machine?

I found that very Humorous.

[Cam]

Where is your vending Tommy Lee Jones Boss coffee vending machine?

I found that very Humorous.

They're absolutely everywhere. Generally the same machine will dish out both hot and cold cans.

[Professor Redfern]

Yeah I dont like coffe but those coffee cans were tasty as.

What are they called Suntory or something? I like the ones in the Rainbow cans.

Have you been to that 4 story toy store in Omote sando yet?

[Cam]

Suntory Boss. Suntory is the company.

Kiddyland? Neh, Akihabara has the toys and gizmos I'm keen on, and the stores are bigger.

Today though, I think it's going to be prudent to head over to Kawasaki to pick up some booze.

[Professor Redfern]

Yeah there is some awesome stuff in Akihabara I picked up my PS3 there brand new for 400 bucks AU.

I saw that Robot Jet you bought in your blog was that from that oldschool Robotech cartoon.

I also got and R2D2 soya sauce bottle. Truely awesome.

probably a myth that came from

" Police in Japan are trying to curb an unsavoury trade. In early September, three business men stocked around 90 vending machines in outer Tokyo with used underwear "guaranteed to have been worn by a Japanese schoolgirl." Each garment sells for about $29.
After searching the rule books, the police have finally charged the three entrepreneurs with violating the Antique Dealings Law, which stipulates that dealers need a license. Used panties as antiques? The police say that some of the underwear was bought from second hand dealers. The trio may also be charged with swindling, if it can be shown that the panties on sale had not really been worn by female students.

The Economist, page 76, October 18, 1993 "


but ...

[Cam]

Heheh.. yeah, historically they've been done.

I read somewhere that the business was stopped through vending machines due to a license snafu, apparently the purveyers of panties didn't want to stick by the vending machine guidelines in place for other items (cigarettes, booze, etc) and that's why they were pulled?

Who knows... I can only say that I've been in some pretty shifty areas of Tokyo and am yet to locate a panty machine. Yesterday however I did go back to the panty store I found last year, sadly they were closed (sorry Taint).

[Barfridge]

tragedy!

[Professor Redfern]

I was considering getting rid of my kitchen and just getting one of these. It makes the dough and everything.
