The existence of a TombStone pizza vending machine is being interpreted by some as a sign that the end is near.
Doomsday prognostications aside, at least people who like Pizza Hut now have something to look down on.

@hellinmyeyes: Houston area.
@Git Em SteveDave is starlost:
Hmm, I see, after reading the “about” page. This looks like a very airport-esque thing, kind of like when I discovered the ipod vending machines, etc.
“Your account balance is zero. Please come back when you have money. Tombstone doesn’t want any child to go hungry. You are an unfit mother. Your children will be put into the custody of Tombstone.”
oh my god i want one where are they?
word of caution:
Just don’t think you can stick your arm up the door and finagle a free pie like the glass-front snapple/sobe machines
THat is actually kind of gross. Someone has to handle the pizzas, etc., as they’re put into the machines…and how long are they there for? Thank goodness my job has a microwave.
That doesn’t appeal my taste buds. Maybe if I’m very, very hungry, with nothing to eat….
I remember seeing an episode of Modern Marvels about 8 years ago that had these on ‘em.
@Con Seannery: IT, not ‘EM, I think it’s time to get something to drink.
College kids never have to fear of the munchies at 3am anymore.
Put a beer machine next to it and I’m setting up a tent.
Although, I’m sure this is the best vending machine pizza up until this point!
…something positive to think about. Maybe I missed this, but if it warm when it comes out of the machine? is it frozen in the box?
Why is this filed under unacceptable food though? A pizza vending machine kicks ass in my humble opinion.
Obviously most of you have never been to Japan.
I’ve seen far more amusing things in their vending machines, and likely by now they have vending machines that sell other vending machines that sell microwaved frozen pizza.
Does it come with a mini-bake oven too?
I’m not down with soggy pizza from a microwave….
@ChelseaCosta: according to descriptions it sells pizza fast cooked in a high temperature convection oven. It’s the method we baked stuff with at the deli/convenience store I worked at. People do go there just for the food cause it leads to a not soggy sandwich
I’m not a huge fan of tombstone though.
It’s always been a personal dream of mine to own one of those coffee / chicken soup / hot chocolate vending machines ( a full day’s nutrition!).
I think I have a new dream now.
This is so Idiocracy.
I want to see someone use this O_O
I think this would actually work well in our plant’s lunchroom. Employee’s don’t have to leave work but it gives them more options if they didn’t pack anything to eat. Not something to eat all the time but useful in some places…I can see it working well in airports, especially if you have a late flight or a long delay.
Why would college kids love this? When i went to college dominos delivered all through the night to campus.
When I was in college you could get hot little cans of Chef Boy R Dee pasta with pull tab tops. I actually bought a can of mini ravioli once. I think it dispensed with a plastic spork, but I can’t remember exactly.
So this machine rates much lower on the “ewwww!” scale for me.
Midnight Munchies!!!!
Unacceptable food? More like incredibly acceptable awesome machine. A pizza vending machine? We ARE in the future!
The college I work at vends frozen personal size pizzas, ice cream, white castle sliders in convenient two packs, bagel dogs (definitely not kosher), and frozen dinners. If that is not enough, one of the frozen dinners is chineese food.
There’s one of these in the vending machine area of the hospital on Fort Hood. Strangely, now that I think about it, I think it was out of order when I saw it, as seems to be the case for everybody here.
Maybe they’re made to be broken?
I’ve seen an ipod and ipod accessory vending machine before in the not so big city of castle rock colorado. This is the sign of the end? Please.

Found this on another forum. Apparently they are the ones that make the machines.
I guess these are popular at military bases.
