In all honesty, we were pleasantly surprised not by this item but its country of origin. We are referring to Gold Vending machines which ideally should have come from the Middle East like Dubai but it comes from Germany instead. As the name suggests, these machine are able enough to sell gold when the user puts in cash. Yes, no credit cards are entertained.
So far 500 of thee gold vending machines have been readied to be installed all across Germany, Austria as well as Switzerland. The idea was borne out of the popular demand these days making gold a safer investment. The company believes that soon most people across the world will keep 15% of their savings in gold.

This might be bad news for pizza makers but it’s good news indeed for those of us who like to enjoy their pizza on the go that too at a cheaper price. Italy is witnessing a vending machine that has the unique ability to make a piping hot pizza from scratch in just a matter of minutes for a reasonable £3.30. It is made of clear plastic windows allowing the customer to see the ingredients being mixed and cooked.
Created by an Italian business man, Claudio Torghele, this vending machine took almost ten years to develop. After all, it doesn’t warm up a frozen pizza but makes the classic dish from step one in just three minutes. We hear that the machine was developed to help the Anglo-Dutch food conglomerate Uniliver and costs £22,000.
