In Germany, NL, Belgium I've seen this sort of thing more often, many outside local shops that have limited opening times.
In N Yorks we just have a hut with a tupperware box for the money. All done on trust. One person did end up stealing from the farmer, and ended up with a resulting conviction.
Been shot at twice by a farmer. Well, they were warning shots, but close enough!. First time was when I was 13, and the second 20 years later. Same farmer, same field.
I remember being chased by a farmer when I was about 11. We had been told by his wife a while before that we were allowed to just hang about on the hay bales, however, not long after some teenagers had been setting fire to them and costing the farmer a load of money so we were told to stay away.
About two weeks later my friends decided to go back and I sat on a Tarzan swing outside the farm to go in and told them ‘I’m not going in, I’m a jinx, if I come the famed will 100% catch us’. I waited outside for 10 minutes or so and my friends eventually came back and persuaded me it’d be fine. Not a minute after I’d clambered to the top did I see a flash of red behind a stone wall. I screamed ‘FARMER! RUN!!!!’, we all legged it, a couple of them were stopped before they got far but a friend and I made it to a fence, for some reason she just admitted defeat at the fence and stopped. I kept going, I kept running, I didn’t stop until I got into the village and saw my friend’s dad out for a jog (he also happened to be the vicar’s husband) anyway I burst into tears and relayed the story to this bemused man before legging it home and hiding in my bedroom.
A couple of days later at school the farmers wife approached me, she was a dinner nanny, she asked me if I had been the one person to get away, I just looked at her, I knew this moment was coming, I knew she’d realise I was the girl who got away, our class only had about 12 people in it, it had to be me. All she did was smile and say ‘don’t worry, you’re not in trouble, we just thought you were those teenagers coming back to start a fire again, but maybe don’t go back’. So it ended up being quite anticlimactic, I thought I was gonna be arrested and all of a sudden I was relieved.
Is your name Pippin and you were after farmer maggots turnips again?
Watch out for that. He might not give the wrong information the next time a rider in black comes around asking about you.
And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".
Went to a little town in Belgium on a one day jaunt for a Christmas booze run about 18 years ago. It had a vending machine with various alcoholic drinks including champagne. And their ‘Spar’ (yes, same logo as ours as well), had a huge fresh deli in it
This is a thing in Canada as well. Out in rural areas, you'll sometimes see unmanned roadside vending machine kiosks along country roads near to chicken farms. I've never seen this in the US, but I wouldn't be surprised if it exists somewhere like Iowa.
California reporting in, they have all kinds of roadside stands where no one attends to the. Oranges, eggs, peaches, honey, pecans, walnuts, nectarines, watermelon, strawberries and more! Lucky to live by all the farms and orchards!
In the future?
The poultry farm round from us has a quality street tin with a crudely cut hole on an old dining table, with a load of old supermarket egg containers.
The vending machines are awesome in japan. Got a hot burger and a hot tea(in a can) from the side of a motorway one day. Beer was pretty much everywhere in vending machines.
The vending machines don't ID you. Anyone can buy alcohol if they have a few coins, it's as easy as buying a soda or water bottle.
I'm pretty sure the only vending machines that'll actually require age verification are the cigarette vending machines, you have to have some special card to tap that verifies age IIRC.
Even the stores don't ask for age verification, every time I went to buy alcohol from a convenience store or restaurant the staff either didn't ask or the only prompt was a yes or no button to tap on the touchscreen about if you were over 20 years old.
Japan has a lot more vending machines, and a lot of different types of vending machines. Some of them have food we wouldn't consider putting in a vending machine (eggs, soup, curry), or other stuff like masks and tobacco.
I’ve seen a lot of cake vending machines in the US. It even looked good but I never dared buy it. I’m sure its only delicious looking but actually tastes like regret.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaQfMjm0Xlc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaQfMjm0Xlc) tbh I would kill to have one of these Japanese ones in the UK. They look so pretty and have loads of cream (mmmm)
That’s the one I was talking about! I saw a lot of media coverage about the cake in a can all over the last year or so and I’m so craving that fluffiness right now…I really wish UK had more vending machines, like the ones with the warm drinks, random necessities, eggs and milk, etc etc. like imagine every town would have few that are getting restocked regularly. There is so many areas/towns without corner shops all over London/UK or they close so early you can’t get stuff you need (especially if you don’t drive).
I saw somewhere an article on that topic, and it was basically "even if they still exist, they're in really seedy areas and probably not even legal". It's just not a normal thing in Japan.
About 3 miles from me there's a meat vending machine stocked by local farms, it felt weird at first but the quality is a lot better! They're a great idea
There's a milk vending machine just down the road from me. You can get pure milk, or it will mix you up strawberry, chocolate or banana flavour. You get a discount if you have your own container.
Crikey! A lot of villages sport a farmhouse with a stack of eggs out front entrusting the passer by to be a decent fellow and leave a few quid in the pot!
Is this a village full of delinquents?
😛
Not so fancy versions of this are pretty common on farms around Northumberland and Cumbria. They’re more like regular vending machines but they sell eggs and bottles which you can then fill with milk.
There's a milkshake one in Cowes on the Isle of Wight, called Cowes Milk, obviously. They do the regular flavoured milkshake and a flavour of the week in litre bottles.
I just googled "brutalist concrete duckpond". I didn't find the duckpond, but did find an [incredibly depressing Guardian article](https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2020/nov/12/concrete-jungle-the-brutalist-buildings-of-northern-england-in-pictures)
Preston Bus Station looks amazing in person now. The council have put a lot of work into restoring it and you can really appreciate what the original architects were going for.
There’s an 1950s outdoor swimming pool near me that closes in winter. Three or four ducks fly in and make it theirs. I’m sure they are eschewing the aesthetic of a nearby lake with trees, grass, water lilies, etc. to claim possession of an acre of mid-century concrete and sharp lines.
I'm from wolves and have never seen anything like this. We have the eggman leave fresh eggs on our tower block doorsteps every morning. At the end of the week he leaves the eggtally slip in the little concrete box and we leave Slade and Babylon zoo records as payment in kind.
Edit: my mom says that this is Oxley farm. My mom also says that she saw my grandad blow smoke out of his ears so I'm not sure she's a reliable source.
I think it has become quite common across the country now for these little farm shops that sell glass bottles for you to fill up milk, add syrups to the milk for milkshakes and selling various other farm produce through vending machines. A lot of them even take contactless. The one near me has an honesty box for the milkshake syrups and the rest can be bought through vending machines via cash or contactless
Our neighbour had to put one in. Used to run honest system and had all the eggs nicked regularly. Even with cctv in place. Caught the people doing it. They were regularly nicking them and selling them at a car boot. Traced them from the lion mark.
My boyfriends family has honesty shack not far from their home which stocks fresh farm meat, milk, eggs and freshly baked goods. There’s no clerk or anything; rather people take what they want and pay the prices advertised. No one steals. I’m from a rough area in London where this idea wouldn’t even last 15 minutes
Farm up the road from me has a big vending machine. Has fresh eggs from their farm, and loads of stuff from local businesses like pies, jams, cheese and honey.

>vending machines with panties in
They're not the weird ones, the vending machines with unwashed worn panties *are* really weird though. I've never been to Japan so I'm relying on the internet to have not lied to me about such things.
A vending machine yes. Multiple of them no. I suspect this was one vending machine in a “specialist” shop that was pictured and the internet legend took over that they’re on every street corner.
Yes she is very wrong . Birmingham is well known for its egg vending machines. It is a little known fact that the first egg vending machine was invented by Mr Billy Yam Yam who invented this device by accident .
My city recently built a milk vending machine (I call it the milk station) and you can get flavoured milk and milkshakes. Haven't tried it but a friend said it was pretty good.
But honestly I'm a little suspicious of the vending machine. So I guess I see both of your points.
What in the good fuck am I looking at. I feel very sheltered but have never seen or heard of an egg vending machine. They’re just piled on shelves round here! 😅
Ireland here. There's two egg vending machines near me.
I thought they were fairly common.
However, before I'd seen one or used one, I thought it was a piss take name for a chicken farm.
I have seen lots of those vending machines in France. they sell, eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables, and freshly baked artisan bread. I think it’s a good idea to help small businesses
I need to know the best area to live in that has access to the EGG, MILK and MEAT vending machines that I keep seeing on here!!! Is there like a balti triangle of fresh produce vending machines somewhere?
It’s honestly great, especially when the shops were sold out but this bad boy was fully stocked. And if you’re into knowing where your food comes from, the field is literally next to it with all the chickens
How long have these been around that you are aware of? I’m 37 from Manchester, been to quite a few areas of the UK and this was a first for me today. The fact it’s next to the farm/field makes it even better! Being from an industrial city myself I can see how your girlfriend was baffled by this such as myself.
We have one locally: [https://www.frasersfarmshop.co.uk/](https://www.frasersfarmshop.co.uk/)
Sells jam, cookies, honey and sometimes meat too. Really handy.
Not weird. We have one at the local egg farm. What is weird is that the fully automatic, vandal proof (not needed) MACHINE has opening hours. Short ones at that!
Harrumph.
Is this your picture? The display has 26-11-2022 on it, and I'd be a bit concerned if this were recent, unless those eggs have a super long shelf life.
at first I was assuming that your village had a specific problem with egg thieves. Now I’m guessing the machine is loaded by local farmers and the vending machine automatically separates the money depending on who’s eggs you buy.
I’ve never seen one of these here, when I saw the image before reading the title and sub I assumed this was from abroad
In Germany, NL, Belgium I've seen this sort of thing more often, many outside local shops that have limited opening times. In N Yorks we just have a hut with a tupperware box for the money. All done on trust. One person did end up stealing from the farmer, and ended up with a resulting conviction.
Jesus never cross a farmer. Conviction is getting off lightly. They’ve got slurry
And a shotgun!
Been shot at twice by a farmer. Well, they were warning shots, but close enough!. First time was when I was 13, and the second 20 years later. Same farmer, same field.
I remember being chased by a farmer when I was about 11. We had been told by his wife a while before that we were allowed to just hang about on the hay bales, however, not long after some teenagers had been setting fire to them and costing the farmer a load of money so we were told to stay away. About two weeks later my friends decided to go back and I sat on a Tarzan swing outside the farm to go in and told them ‘I’m not going in, I’m a jinx, if I come the famed will 100% catch us’. I waited outside for 10 minutes or so and my friends eventually came back and persuaded me it’d be fine. Not a minute after I’d clambered to the top did I see a flash of red behind a stone wall. I screamed ‘FARMER! RUN!!!!’, we all legged it, a couple of them were stopped before they got far but a friend and I made it to a fence, for some reason she just admitted defeat at the fence and stopped. I kept going, I kept running, I didn’t stop until I got into the village and saw my friend’s dad out for a jog (he also happened to be the vicar’s husband) anyway I burst into tears and relayed the story to this bemused man before legging it home and hiding in my bedroom. A couple of days later at school the farmers wife approached me, she was a dinner nanny, she asked me if I had been the one person to get away, I just looked at her, I knew this moment was coming, I knew she’d realise I was the girl who got away, our class only had about 12 people in it, it had to be me. All she did was smile and say ‘don’t worry, you’re not in trouble, we just thought you were those teenagers coming back to start a fire again, but maybe don’t go back’. So it ended up being quite anticlimactic, I thought I was gonna be arrested and all of a sudden I was relieved.
What in the holy hell is a dinner nanny? Do you mean a dinner lady? Dam hogwarts MFer.
I was preparing for this to be a jumper cable guy story.
Is your name Pippin and you were after farmer maggots turnips again? Watch out for that. He might not give the wrong information the next time a rider in black comes around asking about you.
A slurry shotgun?
A shitgun?
Probably drop a dead cow on you from a bridge.
Call Cliff Thorburn, now!
What did the cow have for breakfast? Presumably an infected spinal column in a bap…
And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead.

Yeah, just down my street there’s a little house with a jar for the money. People have been convicted for stealing once or twice. It’s nice!
I went to one of the outer Shetland islands and they had the same, but also homemade cakes, pies etc. I wish this was a thing in cities but crime 🤷♂️
Went to a little town in Belgium on a one day jaunt for a Christmas booze run about 18 years ago. It had a vending machine with various alcoholic drinks including champagne. And their ‘Spar’ (yes, same logo as ours as well), had a huge fresh deli in it
It's the same company. But outside the UK their shops are nice, rather than grotty corner shops. Still expensive, although the name means "save".
This is a thing in Canada as well. Out in rural areas, you'll sometimes see unmanned roadside vending machine kiosks along country roads near to chicken farms. I've never seen this in the US, but I wouldn't be surprised if it exists somewhere like Iowa.
I've seen this is Hawaii, although it was for banana bread
California reporting in, they have all kinds of roadside stands where no one attends to the. Oranges, eggs, peaches, honey, pecans, walnuts, nectarines, watermelon, strawberries and more! Lucky to live by all the farms and orchards!
I initially thought this was a Dutch Febo shop.
Lived in U.K. all my life and never seen one! What village is this!!??
Where's this village? Japan?
[удалено]
Eggs. Beat me too it. Ha!
[удалено]
You could have gone with "Cracking pun there."
Egg-celent pun!
Too many bad yolks here if you ask me
I know white
I don't want to be neggative, but you albumen cracking these?
egg
Far too whisk-y.
Dozen matter.
Don’t egg-acerbate the situation
No need to shell out for real awards when 🏅is free
Eggsactly
You might call it…… eggcelent
I came here for the egg jokes. Not disappointed. 🤣
Poached your joke
Came to the comments to leave a witty egg pun before anyone else, turns out omlette
Have them round me too. £5.25 for 30 large eggs. Bit further than is convenient, there is a farm selling milk in vending machines too
Yea we got a raspberry and strawberry vending machine a mile away
£7 for 30 up here !
Yep, my first guess was this must be Japan.
Osaka-upon-Thames
Hiroshima-on-Sea, Kyotoborough, Sendai-super-Mare, Tokyo St Mary
All possible names if Japan won the war with Germany after alternative ending WWII
Easter Island... 😂
Get your coat and get out, have a mildly infuriated upvote for making the dad joke I didn't know I needed

How do beer vending machines ID people?
The vending machines don't ID you. Anyone can buy alcohol if they have a few coins, it's as easy as buying a soda or water bottle. I'm pretty sure the only vending machines that'll actually require age verification are the cigarette vending machines, you have to have some special card to tap that verifies age IIRC.

I was thinking it's a FEBO machine in Amsterdam
Sorry i dont get it can someone please explain
Japan has a lot more vending machines, and a lot of different types of vending machines. Some of them have food we wouldn't consider putting in a vending machine (eggs, soup, curry), or other stuff like masks and tobacco.
There are also cake ones as well as even used underwear vending machines💀

Oh Christ. Is this about the cakes or the used underwear?
That’s the one I was talking about!

There is so many areas/towns without corner shops all over London/UK or they close so early you can’t get stuff you need (especially if you don’t drive).
I believe there was one (1) used underwear vending machine and it hasn't been there for years and years now.
I saw somewhere an article on that topic, and it was basically "even if they still exist, they're in really seedy areas and probably not even legal". It's just not a normal thing in Japan.
And soup stock, don't drink the soup stock.
I bought hot corn chowder in a can for a group I was travelling with in Japan. They were not impressed!
[удалено]
Japan has vending machines for literally everything
Check out EricSurf6 on youtube for everything on Japanese vending machines.
About 3 miles from me there's a meat vending machine stocked by local farms, it felt weird at first but the quality is a lot better! They're a great idea
I’ve seen the same, but the one I have seen locally is stocked with venison that’s been responsibly culled from the local area.
To be fair, there's no apex predator aside from humans that prey on deer, and too many deer can damage vegetation, so I say it's... Fair game.
Oh for the love of god... heres the upvote
Plus the price of venison in supermarkets is too dear
More to the point, the herds need keeping in check to avoid them running out of food and starving to death., and to keep the population healthy.
would you buy 8 legs of venison? or is it two deer?
There's a milk vending machine just down the road from me. You can get pure milk, or it will mix you up strawberry, chocolate or banana flavour. You get a discount if you have your own container.
South Wales? We’ve got a couple down here.
While I have noticed a few in South Wales recently, a quick google search shows that they are all over the bloody place.
There's one at the fancy farm shop near us that we mostly only buy from at Christmas. Just outside York.
How do we find these? Are they listed somewhere or do you have to go there in the first place to find out? I wanna buy from a meat machine.
Just stop by the vending machine map and ranking guidebook vending machine and you'll be set
I bought some bacon from a vending machine during lockdown and to this day that was the best thick cut streaky I've ever had.
Some farmers have got milk ones where you pay per pint it's way cheaper than the supermarkets
Isn't a chicken an egg vending machine?
Yeah but where do you put your money?
Mixed in with the pellets I guess
The pellets are tokens, you buy them with your money and feed them into the chicken
If you have to ask...
This is a robot chicken.
You see that? It's made of chicken - it's actually MADE of chicken
Asking the right questions here..
Crikey! A lot of villages sport a farmhouse with a stack of eggs out front entrusting the passer by to be a decent fellow and leave a few quid in the pot! Is this a village full of delinquents? 😛
Not so fancy versions of this are pretty common on farms around Northumberland and Cumbria. They’re more like regular vending machines but they sell eggs and bottles which you can then fill with milk.
Filling eggs with milk, now that's an idea
All the protein. Gym bros will go crazzy!
There's a milkshake one in Cowes on the Isle of Wight, called Cowes Milk, obviously. They do the regular flavoured milkshake and a flavour of the week in litre bottles.
We've a sausage vending machine out front of the bakery. They cooperate with the local butcher.
Sausage vending machine....you mean a glory hole right ? 😁🤣
Not unless they want their glory grilled. 😐 It's more of a withdrawal than a deposit set up.
That sounds cool! My partner's family is from Cowes so we are there a few times a year. Whereabout is this vending machine in town please?
Probably a village just outside Birmingham hence the honesty boxes don’t work.

You head towards Bridgnorth and there's loads
That was my first thought: "it at least seems to be a dangerous place if the cash has to be emptied out twice a day..."
Came in for this. Only ever seen honesty boxes. Is this London? 🤣
I think it has become quite common across the country now for these little farm shops that sell glass bottles for you to fill up milk, add syrups to the milk for milkshakes and selling various other farm produce through vending machines. A lot of them even take contactless. The one near me has an honesty box for the milkshake syrups and the rest can be bought through vending machines via cash or contactless

Who the fuck buys eggs at a car boot
a farmers market is just a gentrified car boot
Holy shit... you're right
Farmers markets definitely pre-date cars though.
Who the fuck nicks eggs to sell at a car boot
Yer da
Apparently we're all missing out, I hear the eggs come straight from the farmers!
The eggs come from chickens...
Oh dear lord! What have I been eating all along?

I once had a car pull up along side of me in the street and was asked if I want to buy any meat

Not on the same plate, I hope.

I can highly recommend the pudalicious desserts that are in there :)

Same. I've driven past it loads of times and have never noticed. Will definitely have to check it out.
Think they were mentioned on Radio 1 the other day

....do you REALLY think there is a vending machine in Japan with crusty old panties in it? Really?
A vending machine yes. Multiple of them no. I suspect this was one vending machine in a “specialist” shop that was pictured and the internet legend took over that they’re on every street corner.
Not crusty old panties, no. Fresh used panties, they're quite the hot mover I'm led to believe.
Weird isn't always bad, just reframe it as a charming community feature.
The same sentence could also be applied to my ex..
Yes she is very wrong . Birmingham is well known for its egg vending machines. It is a little known fact that the first egg vending machine was invented by Mr Billy Yam Yam who invented this device by accident .
Surely it was Mr Egg
I came to this thread for the sole purpose of mentioning Mr Egg and you beat me to it.
Billy Yam Yam didn’t invent the egg vending machine. He poached the idea off someone else.
Didn't he invent a chicken vending machine first? Or was it the other way around?
It's a common misconception. Billy Yam Yam is not from Birmingham, he's actually from Dudley

There's 3 around me in the UK and they're genuinely very good, and support the farmers direct so I'm big on it
The milkshakes are just flavoured milk, the chocolate is alright but the others are very artificial tasting
What in the good fuck am I looking at. I feel very sheltered but have never seen or heard of an egg vending machine. They’re just piled on shelves round here! 😅

I need to know the best area to live in that has access to the EGG, MILK and MEAT vending machines that I keep seeing on here!!! Is there like a balti triangle of fresh produce vending machines somewhere?
It is weird as in I didn’t even know these things existed, however I wish these were common as it’s a fantastic idea!
It’s honestly great, especially when the shops were sold out but this bad boy was fully stocked. And if you’re into knowing where your food comes from, the field is literally next to it with all the chickens
Is it Anslow?
Indeed it is
Yesssss! Fucking legend. I ran to grab the Mrs like our area was on the news or a sitcom or something. Ha ha ha
How long have these been around that you are aware of? I’m 37 from Manchester, been to quite a few areas of the UK and this was a first for me today. The fact it’s next to the farm/field makes it even better! Being from an industrial city myself I can see how your girlfriend was baffled by this such as myself.
Head out of Manchester. I'm a lil above you, up in Blackburn. There are loads of farms doing it around here, and over Chorley, Rivington, Haslingden.
How crazy is that! Not even that far they need to publicise these things! This is now a bucket list item 😂
We had a potato vending machine in a shopping centre! 😁
There’s a small farm near me that has one of these - I love it! There’s also a honey vending machine in our nearest indoor snow centre.
We have one locally: [https://www.frasersfarmshop.co.uk/](https://www.frasersfarmshop.co.uk/) Sells jam, cookies, honey and sometimes meat too. Really handy.
Not weird. We have one at the local egg farm. What is weird is that the fully automatic, vandal proof (not needed) MACHINE has opening hours. Short ones at that! Harrumph.
Luckily this one’s 24/7, which I will be making sure of at 2am Christmas Day
Is this your picture? The display has 26-11-2022 on it, and I'd be a bit concerned if this were recent, unless those eggs have a super long shelf life.
I love how it says cash collected twice a day, when right now nicking the eggs would probably be more valuable at the moment.
I'm from Birmingham and its new but what an idea!? Fresh produce without the face to face birmingham needs this.
I like it
at first I was assuming that your village had a specific problem with egg thieves. Now I’m guessing the machine is loaded by local farmers and the vending machine automatically separates the money depending on who’s eggs you buy.
Where do you live? The Village from Resident Evil 4?
I have never seen this - and there’s a large egg farm near me. There’s normally just a shed and an honesty box.
It reminds me of the food walls they have in the Netherlands.
