The World Cheapest Vending Machines

[@kamikentaro]

For those interested to know regarding the scratch card, dancing bacons didn't win anything. In fact all 3 are "misses". You can claim a prize if at least one of the scratched images is a "hit"

[@HangryKitsune]

thanks

[@marsy1480]

Thank you for explaining. 🙃

[@ibrahimabdullah5680]

Gambling is a total waste

[@vomm]

What would you even win? A hand sanitizer 😂

[@NunYaBidness234]

Thank you!!

[@Cyndarion0ne]

12:46 The cards you pulled cost: Lumineon V MAX $13.90-23.99 Serperior V MAX $3.99-7.99 Hammer $7.99-15.99 You tripled your money back with the 3000 yen purchase imo. You got back about 7000 if you think about it. Spent $20 to make back about 6800 yen or $45

[@HEALORDER]

the cards defs aren't psa 10 so i'd put them in the mid - lower range of those prices

[@wakcedout]

Those are American prices, thing is he would be likely selling them in the Japanese market and they could have different values there. Different regions for card games have different play styles making card prices fluctuate. And selling them to the US market would be profitable but the shipping costs is where he’d lose money.

[@michaelschemmel1984]

Lmao What do you think raw prices are@@HEALORDER

[@mason0190]

i can't stop thinking about going up to a vending machine hoping for a drink or snack and suddenly holding a bag of frozen mincemeat cabbage rolls i'm suddenly tasked with getting back into a freezer

[@humansomewhat2167]

my thoughts exactly. maybe it's good to bring an insulated grocery bag if you plan on going to these.

[@imightbebiased9311]

Well... They should go well with the ssamjang. :D

[@julian281198]

its called a quest

[@noranizaazmi6523]

Might be a weird thing to say, but maybe its somewhere someone who just finished doing their grocery run would spend their change on.

[@anonomooose]

Honestly I half expected them to try and bite it lol

[@cgraham6]

Rolling with DancingBacons is always an adventure. One week you're eating $500 teppanyaki on the top floor of a 5-star hotel, the next week we're eating like bums out of a 7-cent vending machine on the street. What variety!

[@TheRealPynkPanther]

😂😂😂😂FACTZ

[@reeses_unicorn]

Exactly! You never really know what's gonna come next. :)

[@zo_oe3223]

Some ppl just don't have a lot of money, dancing bacons do cheap and expensive things so everyone's included..

[@rza884]

Feels like a yakuza game

[@hellsmyhome8979]

IKR XD

[@sukamayoutube2323]

I couldnt help but laugh when it was more hand sanitizer 😅 such a random bunch of items but it seemed fun. The cold coffee looked nice.

[@Galistia]

Yeah, someone had a surplus of hand sanitizer from covid I bet lol. They needed to get rid of it.

[@JustAGuySlayingDragons]

The hand sanitizer is at least useful

[@jaje15243]

The hand sanitizer is a cheap, universally useful way for the machine operators to make sure the softer items tumble down the chute properly.

[@NecromancyForKids]

These machines are what children's dreams are built on. It seems like there are actually decent deals in them, too. Not complete scams, unlike like some mystery items you've bought before.

[@wallbrobart7134]

Oh Boy, I was present for the entirety of CDawgVA and Chris ABroad's stream/video from months ago where they emptied out a mystery vending machine and Oof......

[@stephenbell5217]

Can you imagine walking down the street as a child, begging your parents for a bit of change to put in the ‘surprise’ vending machine, only to get a bottle of disinfectant! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@murmaiderer1]

That's the Year 2023 for you 😂 Next Pandemic coming soon 😉

[@Fiery.Dragon]

Mom will try the machine 3 more times because of the discount xD

[@Traster_Bean]

When you want the cold corn soup but you get hand sanitizer instead. 😢

[@MuppetMan246]

I'd rather walk away with 3 bottles of disinfectant than 2 bags of boiled bamboo shoot lil

[@TheMattThompson]

Those Pokémon cards are like $15-$20 in total. So about ¥3000 on the high end. Still doesn’t beat bamboo shoots though! 😊

[@Emeraldwitch30]

Its funny I just bought 2 packs of those bamboo shoots at the Asia market this weekend to make a stirfry with lol

[@Aea92]

​@@Emeraldwitch30are they good?

[@JustAGuySlayingDragons]

The bamboo shoots make me laugh 😂 it's a meme at this point

[@Emeraldwitch30]

@@Aea92 they were. Just slightly bitter but the crunch they add to dishes was totally worth it.

[@bubbagump5483]

That japanese Lumenion V goes for about 12$, Serperior VSTAR is like 1-2$, and the crushing hammer is worth like less than dollar so all together only about 14$ USD, but it's still a fun gamble you should definitely try it again in case there's more valuable cards inside!

[@HayTatsuko]

I don't know why Japanese seem to love corn potage soup so much, but I am all for it. It's so tasty, and so easy to make at home in just a short while!

[@Emeraldwitch30]

​@@tinseltinamy grandmother was from Germany and often the end of the week made pottage soup. It was a base of chicken and all the veg left overs and sometimes beans cooked down rather thick with buttered toast. I havent heard the word in years. 😊

[@now-loading...]

The warmest soup you can drink from a vending machine in the winter is corn soup and onion soup! You can drink it anywhere and it is very tasty on a cold day!

[@natalieitliongfechter6073]

This is the most random stuff ever but I'm living for what DB gets from machines

[@MaulyMayhem]

This would just fuel my blind box addiction 😂. Five hand sanitizers, three corn soups, and two coffees later and still going 😂

[@kellysouter4381]

Frozen pineapple was my favourite.

[@dkgong]

That is the most random collection of items from a vending machine I've ever seen.

[@Sarah_Grant]

Knowing how expensive fruit is over there, the huge thing of frozen pineapple was probably a great deal!! 😅😅😅

[@TheOtherBill]

The fast ending was because the scratch off prize was 70 million yen and Dancing Bacons immediately retired. We'll miss you. 😉

[@CarlGorn]

The ssamjang can also be used as a base for various soups and stews. Tasty, versatile stuff.

[@Kyouno]

Knowing my luck in gacha games, ill probably get something that does not really suit my taste, but I won’t complain especially if the machine only needs seven cents to dispense drinks :)

[@daniellxnder]

Like boiled bamboo shoots?

[@cottoncandyaddict]

I would not be mad at the last and most expensive item lol, anything that’s shiny and collectible is a win in my book!

[@blueflamedragon8958]

I was surprised DancingBacons got a full art TCG card (the fish Pokémon) and a Serperior VStar!

[@Kehy_ThisNameWasAlreadyTaken]

I've never been into the card games, but any of those decent? The art is really nice at least

[@TravisFloyd]

@@Kehy_ThisNameWasAlreadyTakenthat Lumieon card goes for $12 in English.

[@vomm]

@@TravisFloyd But this card isn't in English so why are you telling us that lol

[@TravisFloyd]

@@vomm cause it’s a comp you dipshit. Frame of reference, don’t like the quote you do the work.

[@fleabaguette9699]

The fact that the cheap vending machines randomly changed positions a couple times is funny to me, like theyre some weird SCPs or something trying to decide on where they want to be.

[@Facepalm9]

I'm scared to see another mystery machine with weird short stories!

[@vtown5630]

😂🤣

[@kellysouter4381]

I remember that one, interesting stories.

[@5qu34k99]

Would love to see you cook the food items into a meal. Stuffed cabbage with pineapples and BBQ sauce and bamboo shoots on the side. The stuffed cabbage is my favorite. They're so delicious, but such a pain to make and looks like you got a lot of them for a good price! Would've been so happy to get those. 🤤😂

[@sharktopusrises]

Ty for video, they are always so calming.

[@unicornsRfabulous]

i love your vending machine videos !!!

[@fourecks1]

I am slowly but surely falling head over heels for the damn vending machines. Especially the hot dog machine from a while ago.

[@josephsmall4270]

Those are some very strange vending machines. You did get a great deal on that big can of Coca Cola.

[@matepavlovic361]

I never been in Japan, but i like this country so much.. everything is clean and peoples are so discreet

[@sakurapablo671]

I get the feeling that these are items that is back stock and try to get rid at a cheaper price at this location. Just a minor crazy thought.

[@luke-xz1gb]

Bacons, half of my japan itinerary was to visit these places. you are a legend my friend and your wife is too

[@cosycovevlog3260]

DB is the greatest KZbin channel of all time! Always an adventure 😂

[@kellysouter4381]

You got some pretty good stuff there actually. For how cheap it all was.

[@williamwhite2113]

Imagine going to one of those vending machines and getting ....frozen pineapples?? 🙃

[@danielchong5032]

4:21 I like that Straight Red Afternoon Tea, and for 50yen, that's a steal.

[@najir.3]

i love watching ur videos when i go to sleep so relaxing

[@draff1662]

The vending company got a deal on hand sanitizer. Great video. Thanks, DancingBacons.

[@Rhaenspots]

DancingBacons you’re the best! Sad the machines were sold out but the other ones are so cool!

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCysts]

Woohoo, let's go DB! Ha, I thought you were going to get bamboozled by the big bamboo many times, but the sanitizer won the day 😂

[@KyuunaHellsing]

😊 thanks for another neat video DB!

[@sapphire5559]

Some of the oddest things one can find in a vending machine in my opinion. Interesting video.

[@wildboar67]

I think the real prizes are the things attached to the hand sanitizer, and the sanitizer is purely there to give it enough weight to be able to be dropped from the machine. Notice the items accompanying the hand sanitizer are, on their own, very light.

[@TheeDarkAges]

Wonder what the scratch card was promoting or if you earned a prized! Interesting vending machines!

[@now-loading...]

I could not find a product page or even an official website. Amazon sold used cards, books, game software, and miscellaneous items.

[@chefincognito]

yay! More vending machines 🙂

[@nadineganseblumchen4967]

I hate surprises, but damn I would spend money on the cheap ones once a week just for the fun and thrill :D

[@bearnaff9387]

It's interesting how strong the protective drive against "wrong" food really is. I am pretty sure I could eat the cold corn soup straight from the can, and I am also pretty sue I could train myself out of the reaction by doing so - but watching you pour the corn soup into the glass almost made me queasy. It definitely sparked a feeling of wrongness because stuff from pull-tab cans is never thick nor chunky in my experience. My feeling of "this food is unusual-looking, avoid it!" was quite strong. I don't really have a strong physical disgust reaction most of the time. I didn't feel nauseated or physically distressed this time either, but that feeling of disquiet when watching you poor the soup was unusual enough for me that I am grateful for the experience.

[@raindog8802]

These randomizing vending machines remind me of the random gumball machines that you use the gold and silver tokens on in Resident Evil 4. Except I guess you can't just go back and reload your last save when you get yet another hand sanitizer in real life. 🤔

[@angienicole4314]

This was so fun to watch! So addictive, I would waste so much money😂!

[@PoutyLina]

Wishing America had awesome vending machines all over like this😭 it would help local businesses as well

[@mduenas22]

The frozen pineapple had my mouth watering!

[@Winnyao]

Saving this to watch later with dinner. In case this is a rare opportunity that you happened to check the first comments that appear after posting a video, thank you so much for sharing these! I really enjoy your videos and it helps me feel like I'm not missing out on the world so much. Thank you thank you thank you! 💙

[@PhilipY]

Definitely did not expect to see pokemon cards come out of one of the mystery purchases. As a pokemon card collector, that was a nice surprise to see

[@BenjaminHari]

I really like the mystery drink machine...I just like the randomness of what you might get to drink and it kind of forces you to try new things out as well. Fun and it broadens your horizons a bit :)

[@wakcedout]

.68 cents for that size can of coke. That’s actually a damn steal by American prices. I’ve seen that same size go for nearly 2 dollars each in gas stations.

[@polandsangel]

Love the mystery vending machines❤ very exciting!!!!!

[@chelseakristine2766]

I think the ice pops were the biggest win for the price. The socks and sanitizer were a good value as well I think. That being said I’m not sure about the resell value of the Pokémon cards I just know you can occasionally get some that are worth a lot 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@mmuller2402]

The real deal is pineapples, you know how much they cost in Japan?

[@ProtoMario]

The Pokemon cards are worth 5 to 10 American, likely the same in Japan.

[@IAMdevilwomen]

c'mon what did you win or lose on the scratch card, you can't leave us hanging like this lol

[@Sarah_Grant]

Lost.

[@add_add]

The can landing on the camera made me flinch lol I thought something was dropping on my face

[@TheClblflame79]

Thank you so much for sharing! Stay safe on your lifes journey.

[@davidbwa]

Now that covid has backed down some and hand sanitizer is not as scarce many companies are trying to offload it. I've seen it pushed / on sale here in USA as well. Lots of it showed up at the local dollar stores and at one point a charity I volunteered with got donated many cases of it.

[@Shadowtiger2564]

I dont speak Japanese but the scratch card looked like the arrows missed the target so I'm assuming it was a losing card

[@cassermck]

I'd be spending so much at the mystery one because it's so cheap!

[@Mr.beefsquatch]

I love this channel

[@TheDarkizer]

its actually cool if some country have these machine, for nearly expired food or items . the random people can buy it cheaper instead they just dump it.

[@frydemwingz]

the hot corn soup on a cold night is actually great. ive never seen it chilled though lol. where is the American Coffee? do they still make that?

[@ilonamollema6467]

I'm still learning Japanese; did he get anything from that scratch card in the envelope? Those mystery machines are quite funny. Don't think it would work here in the Netherlands. We like to see what we buy.

[@theb-rabbit6717]

nope. If he got anything the hiragana will show "atari" (hit) instead of "hazure(cmiiw)" (miss).

[@tabby_cat]

9:32 the return of the boiled bamboo!

[@Spirit451]

I'm feeling lucky today! That bamboo shoot will be mine!

[@RockLegend2000]

Again, I ask, why don't we have cool vending machines like these here in the US? The coolest thing I ever saw in a vending machine was a WWE figure. Unfortunately, I never got to get one. I wish I could travel.

[@Nirrrina]

A lot of people ask that myself included. I think there's a good business opportunity for someone to start setting up & selling stuff from Japan.

[@jhonmarcgarunay9495]

Yay i love this vid

[@mystical-dc9vk]

10:54 surprised to see the hindu indian deity Ganesha air freshener with Egypt label being sold in a vending machine in Japan😂

[@NPC-bs3pm]

I was suspecting that: maybe some of the items come from Chinese manufacturing tricks 🤔

[@SauravChatterjee-lt8fp]

An air freshener named with Hindu God Ganesh 🕉️

[@TheHonestFoodTeller]

OK, I get it, this is basically Japanese Vegas for food lovers!
