I did a double take when I was TDY at Ramstein one year, I walked by a soda machine and saw
Budweiser's logo. I thought, now I have seen everything, as I put 50 cents into the machine.

Budweiser? If that's the case you should hit the button and it should give you your beer and at least $2 for your trouble.

I found "If I want to eat a great pizza, I go to a pizzeria. But our product is satisfactory," to be kind of humorous.

If the choice is a gas station roller dog or a pizza machine, what do you do?
At least you know the zit faced cashier kid hasn't sneezed on your pizza, right?
Okay, so maybe the ingredients he/she/it loaded into the machine were slimed...

Not really sure that's a fair comparison. McDonald's or one of the refrigerated vending machines loaded with sandwiches and/or things you toss in the microwave next to it might be a better comparison.

Regardless, I never panned the machine, in fact, from a mechanical automation standpoint, it's genius. I just found the inventor's comments funny in a pragmatic way. And yes, I would drop the 4-5 Euros to try a pizza out of one of these machines, even if just to say that I had.

This was my exact thought as well. But at $32,000 for the machine not to mention all the red tape of providing a product you eat to the masses in the USA, it might take a while to re-coup that money.

I have seen this at a bowling alley in NH. I kid you not....my buddy bought one and said it sucked. Still a crazy concept.

AD720 · 10-14-2010, 07:47 PM

2.5 minutes? But I want it now.

fxpose · 10-15-2010, 01:53 PM

Man, that vending machine is too complicated.

I build my own wfo this summer so I can do my own 90 second pizza...

replicant_argent · 10-15-2010, 01:55 PM

I have seen a few sites with homemade backyard pizza ovens..... and they look AWESOME.
I would like to build one here, if I ever decide to make my generic damn ugly ass backyard and patio a usable space.

Growing up in Japan, beer and cigarette vending machines were virtually at every street corner.
