Odd Stuff: Hot chip vending machine

admin

Belgium has long claimed their fries (which they call frites) are the best in the world and now they can prove it with the first ever vending machine that cooks you yummy hot fries.

We’ve all seen the usual vending machines that have drinks, chocolate and junk food in them, but imagine being able to get hot chips!

The machine fries the chips for you in 90 seconds in either vegetable oil or beef fat (the belgium standard), and you can even get a fork, and tomato sauce or mayonnaise on your chips.

One 135 gram pot of hot chips will cost your €2.50 ($4.20 NZ Dollars).

If you’re curious, Tommy Edison has made other videos on his YouTube channel about how blind people experience different things – choosing clothes, identifying people, dreaming when asleep, cooking and more.
