Japanese Vending Machine Will Recommend You a Drink

Published by Johnny X at 1:00 pm under Oddly Enough

Are you indecisive to the point where you remain frozen at a vending machine for hours, unsure if your next drink choice could alter the course of your entire life? Well then Japan has something for you!

A new Japanese canned drink vending machine uses facial recognition technology to “recommend” drinks based on the customer’s age and gender — and sales have tripled over those from regular vending machines as a result.

“Recommended” labels will then appear on specific drink products. Suggested products may also change depending on the temperature and time of day.

“If the customer is a man, the machine is likely to recommend a canned coffee drink, since men tend to prefer these. If the customer is in their 50s, though, that recommendation is likely to be green tea,” a company spokeswoman said.

I bet if it looked at me, it wouldn’t guess that I drink a half gallon of chocolate milk every day. Nope, I don’t want your stupid Coke Zero.
