@mie.madeinearth: Vending machine - Observed on Earth Vending Machine The first commercial vending machines appeared in early 18th-century England, coin-actuated “honour boxes” selling snuff and tobacco. The concept resurfaced in 1883 with Percival Everett’s postcard machine in London, before crossing to New York in 1888, dispensing gum on elevated train platforms. Today, Japan holds the world record for vending machine density, with millions of units scattered even across remote streets, selling everything from hot coffee to fresh produce. Humans were here. 🌍 #90sthrowback #popculture #street #archive #urban
