Used Schoolgirl Panties Vending MachineJapan declared illegal in 1993 to sell used schoolgirl panties in vending machines, yet many locals and travelers still see
them around. This particular machine is a converted cigarette machine that now takes 10,000 yen notes (about US$80 bills).
The current contents run from 1000 to 3000 yen.
Mordheimer's Comment: FUCK!!! If you have to make this illegal, you KNOW you have a huge problem!
Porn Vending MachineTalk about instant gratification. The above vending machine in Kyushu, Japan, perfectly defines Japan's most popular
mode of dispensing items. With everything from condoms to eggs available through vending machines, playboy doesn't
really seem too farfetched.
