Got quarters?

Found in Tokyo: walking Coke bots that are actual vending machines. They are modeled after a desktop-size (11'') coin bank popular in Japan. I would simply have to buy a Coke from one, whether I was thirsty or not.

Now here's something you wouldn't expect to find in a vending machine: live bait! Some visionary converted a refrigerated sandwich-vending machine into a 24/7 bait shop. So many others are converting machines for this purpose, vending companies are designing one specifically for it. Nifty!

Neatorama has many more weird examples of machines like these, including ones for iPods, porn, and toilet paper.
