US Beverage Industry to Include Calorie Information on Vending Machines
The subject of our last article was Barack Obama’s plans to attempt to reduce childhood obesity by removing sugary snack and drink vending machines from America’s schools. In a related effort, First Lady Michelle Obama has called for action from the beverage industry to help with her healthy families campaign.
It seems this call may now have been answered by the non-alcoholic beverage companies which are members of the American Beverage Association (including The Coca-Cola Company, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Kraft Foods, PepsiCo, Red Bull North America, Inc. and many other major brands). The ABA has volunteered a new initiative which intends to present calorie information on their products in a more clear and useable manner.
Vending machines and product labels are two main areas which will be focussed on by this initiative. Vending machine beverage selection buttons are set to contain details of product calorie counts, while information on products themselves will be improved by additions such as per-serving calorie totals on the labels of items with higher volumes.
Only vending machines controlled by respective beverage companies will be affected by these changes, but perhaps it may prompt other operators to follow suit if the idea is welcomed by consumers.

Looking to a Safe Future with Condom Vending Machines
Fifty years ago, people knew little about the benefits of condoms and birth control was something that not many people invested in. Today, the condom industry is booming and birth control comes in various forms.
What does that tell you? It means that sex is an important issue and no-one wants unwanted pregnancies or nasty diseases. Sex is no longer the taboo subject it once was and good practice with regards to sexual health is now more commonplace than ever. This is a trend that may intensify in the future as the world’s population continues to rapidly increase and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and infections (STIs) affect more and more people. This shift to a more relaxed attitude has resulted in an increase in the frequency and likelihood of promiscuous behaviour.
Early identification of these trends may help you take advantage and maximise your profit with the use of condom vending machines. For the public sector, however, condom vending machines can be seen as an essential service, without the need to generate profit (i.e. ensuring good sexual health practice at very low cost).

Vending in Japan
The Japanese are famous for their high tech culture – always 2 steps ahead of the rest of the world and leading the way on the forefront of technology. A lesser known outcome of this is the effect this has had on their vending industry.
Extraordinarily, it is said that in Japan there is a vending machine population of around 1 to every 20 people! Though perhaps more surprising is the remarkably low rates of vandalism and damage done to the machines.
This attitude, combined with restricted city space and a general preference towards pedestrian-friendly transport has enabled them endless vending possibilities. A quick search on YouTube for vending in Japan will bring a whole host of results, most demonstrating the weird and wonderful vending contraptions to have sprung from this country in recent years.
