Because, where else would a Pecan Pie Vending Machine be? The dessert dispenser is located in front of Berdoll Pecan Candy & Gift Co. in Cedar Creek, Texas.
So, if you’re driving down Highway 71 from Austin, don’t worry about missing the turn-off… The giant squirrel holding a pecan will let you know that you’re heading in the right direction.
The machine is available 24 hours a day and is stocked with pecan pies and pecan-related goodies first thing every morning.

We’ve already seen Astonishing Studios bring us LEGO vending machines that dispense McNuggets and Cheerios. So, it seems only natural that they’d eventually use these skills to produce some fried chicken.
The LEGO KFC Machine functions just like the McNugget and Cheerios version, but the end result here is fried chicken. And, anything that ends in fried chicken can’t be bad. Check it out in action below.
We know how you feel… You want a burrito, you want it right damn now, and you’re a bit too stoned to interact with other humans. The Burritobox feels your pain, and has provided what appears to be the very first burrito vending machine.
Simply stumble over to West Hollywood where the only machine is currently located — enter a few prompts on the handy touch screen and, in about a minute, you’ll have an all-natural, hormone and antibiotic-free burrito. Munchies thwarted. Humans spoken to… Zero.

If you’re in a rush, but desperately need some latte art, the Yojiya Café vending machine is here to help. Located at the Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan — the machine will not only dispense a hot latte in an instant, but will add a little art on your foam.
Although the machine is certainly no electronic Picasso, an instant artsy latte will run you only ¥200, or approximately $2 USD. What, no 3-D?

This new french fries machine was created in Belgium, so it’s technically a “frites” machine. Nevertheless, it conveniently delivers a portion of deep-fried slices of potato in 90 seconds.
Another factor in the frite awesomeness, besides the convenience factor and lack of human interaction, is that the frites are cooked in beef fat. And, did we mention that Belgians typically put mayo on their fries?
