LONDON -- Let's be honest, we take convenience food for granted. Vending machines are everywhere and they're always topped up with dozens of sugary and salty snacks but, when you think about it, they're kind of boring. Who wants a Mars at lunch time when you could skip to the nearest Starbucks for a Nutella cookie.
What would happen if we introduced some new foods into the mix? Imagine if vending machines had all the things you actually wanted to eat?
Here are the vending machines we - and you - wish existed.
Cocktails
Whoever thought that cocktails should only be available from a bar had some funny ideas, so we had this idea. Morning mojito, anyone?
Gourmet sushi
Feeling fancy but in a rush? Gourmet sushi got you covered. And it's fresh.
Your favourite home cooked dish
Scan your finger print and get the best recipe from your childhood. Home comforts on the go, this machine KNOWS.
Tea and biscuits
Getting tea out of a machine is a given, but offer that tea with biscuits and you're a winner. Two bourbons, a ginger snap and 10 Hobnobs, please.
Baked potato
There's no heartier meal and with an endless supply of toppings - from baked beans to stroganoff - you wouldn't be able to say no.
Jelly and ice cream
Picture this: traffic light jelly, Neapolitan ice cream and butterscotch sauce.
Roast dinner
Ditch the plate, this roast dinner comes in a giant Yorkshire pudding, doused in gravy with your choice of meat, greens and trimmings. Pigs in blankets a plenty.
Hot cookies
Freshly baked with WHATEVER mix-ins you like. Dark chocolate dough with gummy bears and white chocolate chips? They've got that. Oatmeal and raisin with maple syrup? That too.
Breakfast rolls
Rush hour made easier by fresh bacon rolls (with egg? you decide) at your finger tips. It would probably be right next to the tea and biscuits machine, so you're pretty much sorted.
Nachos
We're thinking guac, jalapeños, sour cream and 3-bean chili, but that's just us. You could have chili cheese and chocolate sprinkles for all we care, because this machine would have it.
Toast
Who wouldn't want to hit a few buttons and instantly have freshly made toast whilst on the road? From baked beans to PB&J, this machine would have ALL of the toppings.
Avocado
Yep. You heard right. Avocado. Just avocado. Nothing else (apart from the spoon to eat it, duh).
