| | What I Saw In A Vending Machine
I was changing to another train at the Arth-Goldau station yesterday and had a few minutes to wait. Just for something to do I wandered over to a 'Selecta' vending machine just to see what was in it, although I didn't want to buy any candy or cold drinks.
I've now got used to seeing cigarettes on sale in vending machines in Switzerland (they've been banned in many countries) but this Selecta machine had Bic lighters, cigarette papers (I guess useful for making spliffs?)......and pregnancy testing kits! 
There weren't any condoms though, I thought they would have been more useful (and in more demand) than a pregnancy testing kit! |

If you put condoms in the machine you would reduce the sales of pregancy kits. Pure commercial reasons nothing to do with sense as the condoms would sell for much less and they are already for sale in the toilets
You may even want to get pregnant so why on earth would you want a condom

Actually, condoms are usually located right next to the pregnancy tests.

In Japan they have vending machines with live crabs. When you buy your crab the machine steams it for you.
