Please note I made my comment before it was revealed the machines would contain "healthy" snacks. Still, maybe that is too strong a comparison, sorry if I shocked you, but I saw "vending" and immediately thought of coke machines and how they advertise to the young people with the cool slogans etc., not disimilar from the way the tobacco companies do or at least did. |
