People often ask if the food from retro vending machines is tasty. That question misses the point. Frankly, there are many foods that taste better than what you get from these vintage machines. Sometimes, the food isn’t great at all. What I seek from retro vending machines is not the taste, but the fantastic experience of visiting and buying food from these old-school machines. The true value lies in the unique experience of eating from a retro vending machine.
Moreover, even if the vending machine model is the same, the taste can vary greatly because different people prepare the food. This variety in taste depending on the location is another interesting aspect of retro vending machines.
