When most of us think of vending machines, we think of the type that dole out sodas, candy, chips, or cigarettes. You won't find any of those in this slideshow. Instead, we've brought you vending machines that dispense dates, designer jeans, cars, and bike parts.
Still not sold? How about used schoolgirl underwear (yes, we're serious), books, MP3 players, and marijuana? All of these vending machines do exist someplace in this wide, weird world of ours. There are even vending machines that let you vent by vicariously breaking china.
