• “Branded Vending Concepts' new Quaker Oatmeal on the Go machine provides hot oatmeal with up to two toppings per serving.”
• “Del Monte's machine sells fresh vegetables and fruits, including whole bananas. Sealed packaging slows down the ripening process to keep the fruit yellow up to five days.”
• “Coke is testing a touchscreen machine that provides nutritional information about the vended drinks.”
