Boyfriend Vending Machines

Push a Button, Get a Date

Flossie, a women’s lifestyle magazine, has designed something very special for the single women of New Zealand and it is brilliantly strange.

This creative project was developed working on the basis that it would be great if single men were as easy to find as a can of Coke. So Flossie had the idea of a big vending machine packed full of real live single men with a few vibrators for good measure, to satisfy women of all ages. They auditioned all the men to check they were not mental cases, of course--think Britain’s Got Talent, but with hotties.

It is on Auckland’s High Street and there is brilliant footage of what happened when women found it. It is also beyond explanation that number 2014 is single!
