This particular dispenser provides a page full of [fun illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tissue-box-collection) that will endlessly amuse the person who purchased it. Chock full of [computer-generated drawings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funpix-ai), the Weird Faces Vending Machine costs only three dollars to use.
