Vending Machine Makes You Dance for a Free Coke [VIDEO]

So you think you can dance? Let this Coke vending machine decide.

Coca-Cola, which has been experimenting with technology for its vending machines, recently rolled one out in South Korea that challenges consumers to copy the dance moves of boy band 2PM. The closer they emulate the moves, the more Cokes they get.

The cola giant employed Microsoft's Kinect technology to allow the machine to read the moves. As the video above shows, the idea is a crowd pleaser. Then again, people have been known to do strange things around vending machines, including worship them on occasion.

What do you think? Would this work in the U.S.? Let us know in the comments.
