- Japan has the most vending machines in the world!
In this video we check out 7 amusing vending machines you can find here
1. Drinkable Whip Cream in a Can
2. Insect Food
3. 100 Coffees
4. Frozen Sweet Treats
5. Mystery
6. Mystery Treasure
7. Anpanman Popcorn
I like how the insect vending machine says 'ATTENTION!' in English, and then the rest of the notice (the important part) is in Japanese.
I've tended to notice that many marketing slogans in Japan seem to have a long string of Kanji, followed by one or two simple words in English - This can be seen in the attention grabber at 09:15. 🙂
I can't read Kanji to save my life (It's only thanks to _Border Security_ I can recognise the Japanese for _Exit_ 🇬🇧 ⬅ 🇪🇺 😉) but it always amuses me when I see a string of Kanji randomly followed by a single English word! 🙃
Its probably a shellfish allergy warning. Dangerous to eat insects if you have it
I half expected 1 of them to jump out of his hand! 😂
It's to confuse us when we visit so we wonder around aimlessly and buy delicious looking snacks like the crepes and bear.
ME lost in Japan: "clever, Japan, I'll take 2."
I was curious, so Google Translate on my phone to the rescue: "It is very easy for bills to get clogged. Please stretch them out and insert them slowly. If a bill becomes stuck, we cannot refund you immediately. Thank you for your cooperation."
I like how the first machine just unceremoniously yeeted out the whipped cream can. I get that you’re not supposed to see the mechanism, but still just full on throwing it against the front of the machine before dropping
I mean considering it's frozen solid, maybe that slam against the machine is to soften it up haha
Dude you scored huge with that taiyaki treat for only 100 yen! I'd pay more for it it looked so good lol
Especially compared to 1000 Yen for crickets....🤮
4:13
(Just a Vending Machines fans here)
Yes , the video is indeed live steam (not prerecord) It's one of the main sales point of the brand. Fresh "grind and brew by order" coffee making right in front your eyes.
9:43 i could just feel the amount of disappointment from "i got a charging cable" then back to positivity 😂😂
Ahhh Vending Machines, the video that led me down the Dancing Bacons rabbit hole. Now I'm hooked.
same
I definitely would not be able to resist those adorable bear juices! I love that the container is completely reusable!!
They have them on Amazon now but empty
Without context this sounds so wrong 💀
@@SaskianaBroNySpeak for yourself, I love me some bear juice! 🐻💦

It's always a pleasure to explore the wild and wonderful world of vending machines with you~!
I never get bored of the vending machine videos always the best at least in my opinion.
Really hoping I can visit Japan one day.
Yeah me too but I’m sure a lot of the time will be me going what does that mean?
$6.72 for crickets???!!! Damn I could make a fortune if I caught all the ones I have in my front and back yards!!
I would never want to eat insects but I might get tempted to try bbq flavour ones
Phew, I was worried you were going to get a scorpion judging from the vending machine's appearance. But crickets are one of the more "normal" edible insects. I still wouldn't want to eat them. Thanks for experiencing it so we don't have to 😁
scorpion are actually also one of the more normal edible insects too they've been selling them for decades along with crickets and mealworms. They are long distant relatives of crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, crayfish etc) so they're not recommended for people with shellfish allergies.
I've had freeze-dried crickets. They taste more of the coating than anything else.
The bugs you really want to eat are Honeypot Ants. THOSE are hella good.
I’ve tried crickets and meal worms. They both tasted like what’s left in the bottom of a bag of popcorn, the only flavor is whatever seasoning was added, and the consistency is like bits of popcorn shells.
Crickets taste so good, ofc you need the right seasoning but i had crickets a few time and they were great!
I found the can/bottle of whipped cream soda really interesting,I've eaten mealworms and crickets before,looked like you could get tarantula and scorpion even
🦂😱😱😰😨😰😨😩😩😫😫creepy!!!!!😖😖😱😱
Aww the fruit juice in a bear bottle is super adorable 🐻❤
I love the illustration on every product, the pictures are so beautiful. So much detail is in every package ❤.
The Popcorn Machine should have been next to a Coke Machine, would have been perfect 🍿🥤
Also, the Waifu desserts were So Cute 🌸
I'll never understand why America doesn't really pioneer the vending machine industry. Sure, we also have ice cream and salads in machines, but it all feels so ordinary
Here in Britain soft drinks and sandwiches mostly, we need more variety!, I'm sure there's a market.
Because America has a massive homeless, drug and looter/blm problem. Those types of vending machines would get *destroyed* in a matter of hours at worst and last maybe a week at best. Just look at how bad Chain stores like Walmart, CVS and Target are doing with people OPENLY stealing and being forced to close location after location. These can never work here until we fix and change the problems.
Are you kidding? A robot that made it across all of Canada was stopped after 3 days in New York. We can't have nice things because people break everything. So no vending machine empire. Societally the japanese are much more reserved, well mannered and rarely break things as americans do.
Americans prefer made-to-order food wherever its an option.
Vending Machines thrive in places where it isn't an option; schools, colleges, offices, and low-income apartments.
What others said, vandalism.
I applaud you for being able to eat bugs. I wouldn’t have the guts to be able to eat bugs, I will most likely gag just by the sight of them
Is it even safe? Welp atleast its BBQ flavoured
@@headphonesMH ofc it is ^^ They don't just pick bugs off the ground, they are bred to be eaten just like we do with chickens :) Although I personally have a phobia of bugs and a really hard time eating them haha!
It is rather hard to do but I have tried a few bugs with my grandkiddos at a museum for kids.
I had a chocolate covered cricket and chocolate covered ants and BBQ crispy meal worms.
Its not as awful as you'd think and if I was starving I would eat again.
The bbq meal worms were actually nice and crispy like say cheetos but bbq flavor. But the crickets had a very odd after taste and tge ants were sour bits in the chocolate other than that tiny sour crunch you wouldn't know they were in there.
But i drew the line at the tarantulas.
Thry had derp fried ones to sample and the ooky factor I just couldn't 😳🕷
From what I can gather, the biggest problem is they're not handled correctly when you see most people eat them. They're safe, they're cooked, but being safe to eat doesn't automatically make a thing delicious. I still haven't found a version of beets I can tolerate, for example.
@@smol-oneants taste great
When I visited Thailand my friend invited me to tried fry cricket. It was dreadful for first time but no problem later. Taste just like cracker or small shrimp. It depend how it fryed and seasoning.
I'm American and I've had chocolate covered crickets (tasted like a Nestle's Crunch bar) and I love roasted meal worms. They were nacho cheese flavored but had a nice nutty flavor to them. I kinda wish there were more options for bugs in restaurants here like there is in Asian countries. Good source of protein.🐜🐛😊
Your video was much needed today. It's always calming. Thank you so much. Please never stop. I don't care if you showed me the same thing. On different days of the week in different months, a 1000 times. You and Mrs.Dancing are a spot of joy in a dreary world that is a little extra on edge this week and the coming days. ❤ I adore her little happy munch munch faces of yum or head shake of less than yum.😊 😂
That blue cream looked very interesting. I use cricket flour, but not the whole cricket. Can't get past the texture.
Thank you for your work making these. No it's not difficult but it is time consuming and your time is valuable. ❤
"A memorable snack you will never forget" as, for the rest of your life, you wake up clawing at the cricket husks caught in your teeth.
What’s most surprising is every option is in stock. The machines are kept up with and consistently stocked 😮
I liked the crepe bar and the whipped cream drink they look so good~ 🤤
THE FUCKING CREAM CAN LAUNCHING ACTUALLY SCARED ME WHEN IT HAPPEND LMAO
Fantastic video! I really like the bear pineapple frozen juice. The popcorn machine with cartoon is a dream! Also a very cute popcorn's cup.
I’d totally reuse the bear can for something!! It’s too cute to throw away!
I agree 😊
Your vids bring joy and peaceful mind in this uncertain world condition..thanks a lot
I like crepe machine and the frozen cream. Vending machines in Japan sell interesting stuff but i certainly won’t buy from the insect vending machine.
Another neat video, thank you for sharing this with us all.
The consiquences of introducing cartoons to Japan is massive.
i love seeing the variety of vending machines. we don't have many in the uk because people are savages and break the machines.
I like how they have the culture of putting effort into making the food look good, unlike other countries where they don't bother using their brains on the aesthetic aspect
What in the stupid weeb comment is that? They literally base their culinary aesthetics on European standards, combining it with Japanese sensibilities. No, literally. This is not some racist statement. It's the beauty of combining cultures, but here you are putting one on a pedestal over the others...
What countries doesnt put effort on aesthetic?
🇺🇸*Cough cough*
@@ArmIessIoveseatAmerica fast food chain is literally an aesthetic. Try Googling retro food aesthetics, it's literally mostly American.
@@ArmIessIoveseathater.
1:01, that drink is definitely whipped
Those bear bottles are adorable. I'd get all of them just cause they are so cute!
Love those vending machines. So fun to watch. If only we could get them here in the UK too.
Love the videos !!!
A round of applause for you to eat those barbecued crickets. You have more intestinal fortitude than many of us would. You do find those very unique vending machines. Thanks.
People in 3rd world countries eat them all the time so they're just used to it.
Scorpions are probably the least weird tbh
Crickets are a cultural food in many different countries. I used to eat them with my friends from Mexico when I was a kid.
Crickets don't taste like anything but what you season them with. It's a little bit of a weird texture, sure. But they're like living tofu. I use cricket flour to hide protein in carbs. Using it this way, Nobody has ever figured it out. 😂 My kids would probably be grossed out. My husband knows, but forgets😂
Problem is that anybody whos had dealings with crickets to feed reptiles etc, the crickets absolutely stink of urine
@@ryanwatterson4038 Is that what that smell is.... I never associated it with p. Hum. They wash the ones for human consumption.
I always love your videos❤
i just know in my heart i would love the taste of bbq crickets. my mind just cannot get over the thought of eating them though!
Hello Mr and Mrs bacon!! Always enjoy your videos! I'm so excited when a new one shows up! Stay safe and keep up the great content!!
The machines keeps on getting interesting Fay by day!
Love al youre vids...please never stop filming and posting. Lots of love from the netherlands (k)
Love your videos❤
I don’t care if bugs are nutritionally good or lots of protein…NO! You’re amazing for taking (eating) them for the team!
That’s what I’m saying. If I’m stranded on an island, I am not eating an insect, id rather starve, I would hate the feeling of popping a worm, and it wriggling in my mouth 🤮
Logically speaking, Scorpions or Spiders are probably tastier then crickets ants or roaches.
At least let me choose dammit.
Good thing you are unaware of how many bugs you eat unintentionally in a year. You'd never eat or drink again.
We eat flies all the time here in Australia, not always intentionality though. 😎
Meh. I'm not against it, but bugs would be my last choice. There's just so many more tasty things out there... Though to be fair, I've never given them a chance, maybe those were good, I don't know. My initial reaction though was just "What am I? A reptile?" Lol.
another banger from dancingbacon lesgoo
I would go nuts spending money on these cool machines all day.
i love your videos :)
When you got the barbequed crickets I had to laugh. I have a nephew who works with a company making cricket powder as a high protein food supplement.
I know it’s just popcorn, but that’s a cool machine.
I'd love to try that, Thank you for sharing
Love your videos❤❤
I will pass on the bugs. The crepe looked good though!
I can’t believe they put Himena nome in a vending machine, if your wondering who that is, she’s a Japanese pop artist. But then again, that’s just japan.
The coffee machine is on the mundane side of things for me lol I have a friend who's a trucker and in a lot of his trailer drops if you go into a break area to use the restroom they have these lol I've only used it for hot chocolate but it's pretty dang good!
It's amazing how quiet your city is, I am envious.
Everything looks cool. I like the popcorn machine the best.
The BBQ Seasoned Crickets omg ok I may give it a taste with the Seasoned on it just 1 thuo lol. If I had tequila with a Worm I can definitely see why not . This is why I LOVE these video we need vending machines like this down here in NJ/ NY...
Cool. Their automated devices are charmingly surreal like another world. Getting Abe's Oddysee flashbacks. Meech Munchies, Scrab Cakes, Paramite Pies and coming soon, New and Tasty. hehe
That reflected image of you in the Anpanman segment may be the first image of you that I have seen. Good looking! 😜
Did you guys move to Japan? I noticed your videos have primarily been there since mid-may :)
Akihabara had a vending machine for 5 randomized, rare Magic the Gathering cards in boxes. Best. Machine. Ever. Pulled my first Commander from it.
That first machine with the frozen whipped cream looked so refreshing. I bet it’s amazing on a hot summer day
so funny😂😂😂😂😂😂.I wish the uk could have these vending machines.
Came to the comments expecting people to be saying something about the vend on the whipped cream drink. That thing freaking SHOT out of there lmao
God this is making me miss Japan so much.😢
My dog would like the crickets pack - she loves crickets! Thanks, DancingBacons.
Awesome video 🙂
There used to be a store in Provo Utah that sold insect snacks. My grandpa was especially fond of the chocolate covered bees. But they had crickets, grasshoppers, and grubs, too. Bbq and spicy flavors as well.
> chocolate covered bees
I really hope those were just the already-dead bees some beekeeper swept up from the floor of an apiary, and not raised or wild-harvested for the purpose. Bees are having a hard enough time as it is.
Popcorn Vending machine was cute hahahaaa
love your titanium spork.
Cool vending machines! I’ve had crickets before and they’re pretty good- tastes like sunflower seeds!
I absolutely love these videos 💜💕
The canned carbonated ice cream looks interesting.
Lol...that vending machine dispensing electronics would be ransacked within an hour of its installation, if this was the US 😂😂
Yum, mystery insect food
Japan looks like a very beautiful country
Love the australian accent doing the english platform information ❤️👏🦘
7 AMUSING JAPANESE VENDING MACHINE THIS IS GETTING INTERESTING TASTE FOR THE DAY
That charging cable will pay for itself if it's of good quality.
DAMN IT I WANT TO TRAVEL SO BADLY TO TRY THESE AWESOME VENDING MACHINES!!!(including the bug one)😤😤😤😤
0:47 ahh...the spot where he touched the screen
As a train enthusiast who has a _massive_ love for GT(f)O Thyristor traction, focussing on the vending at around 05:51 proved surprisingly difficult... 🚄🔊❤🔥😇
0:47 the sus click 🌝🗿
Finally , machine no longer will showed "Fix Bug" but sell "bug" as food 😂😂😂
Even the grumpiest person could not resist that popcorn vending machine, when nobody is watching. Just too kinky and kitschy to not go for it. :D
i always order from the ones that show u how the drink is made inside, so fun!!
All the machines were super cool 😎
The coffee machine was awesome, I would be there all day 😅
Ola! Beijo a voces dois. Gosto muito dos videos. Felicidades
Crickets said "food of the future."
Nope. I will not eat the bugs, live in a pod, drive an ev, and shut up and be happy.
frozen whipped cream is delicious, I would be at that vending machine daily if they had one here !
Great video 🤙🏼💚🏵️
You got quite lucky with the bus, I've heard crickets are the most palettable!
the insect vending machine ends at 3:40 if anyone can't stand to watch it
I’ve tried eating bugs like this a few times. It’s like what’s left at the bottom of a bag of popcorn, mostly small bits of shells that taste of salt.
The coffee looks good!
9:43 is it just me or can you imagine the disappointment in “I got a charging cable”
ah, as someone who has to make her own taiyaki here in the US, I would love to have 100Y custard taiyaki!
Crepe bars are such a fun idea!
I’m from uk I have always wanted to go to Japan even though I wouldn’t understand any of the language I would probably spend a lot of time just looking at all these crazy vending, the games arcades and game shops
Please go back and try that mystery electronics one more!!! That was so interesting!
