Strictly for gimmick lovers, the price on this mini vending machine alone can buy you two small bar fridges. What's more, it's dubious whether the dispenser can live up to its claim of ice-cold cans everytime. The one we came across in a giant Tokyu Home DIY store in Tokyo felt plastic, was plastic, and would require plastic money to pay for the set since it's doubtful anyone would carry so much spare change in their pockets. What was more interesting was the accompanying placard which read: "Good for office use", where thirsty staffers are clearly expected to feed coins into the mini dispenser if they want their soda. Bummer.
