CAULIPOWER, which makes naturally gluten-free cauliflower crust pizzas, recently launched the CAULIPOWER Claw Machine in New York City, giving everybody the chance to snag a fun prize after they play. Players have the chance to get their hands on [mini pizza boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-hut-4) with coupons, [cauliflower stress balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dough-stress-balls) and other great prizes from the machine set up for a limited time at NYC's Turnstyle Underground Market.

Vending machines are no longer just for dispensing snacks and soda pop, with consumers now able to get everything from single-serve pouches of whisky to soft serve ice cream with the press of a button. While these kinds of machines emphasize on-the-go convenience, [branded claw machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chips-ahoy-cookie-x-stranger-things) take this premise to the next level by offering a challenging yet rewarding experience.
