This Vending Machine Sells Live Crabs [Video]

I assumed the Japanese banana vending machine we saw last week was pretty weird. But compared to this Chinese vending machine which dispenses ACTUAL LIVING CRABS in little plastic containers, well, yeah, a banana machine seems pretty reasonable.

The machine stores its Shanghai Hairy Crabs in a state of hibernation at 5 degrees Celsius. They’re guaranteed for freshness, and a sign up the machine states that in case your crab is dead, you get three free ones in your trouble. Prices range from roughly $1.50 to $7.

So, first we had bananas and we’ve crabs. I just hope they don’t get stuck on the style out because it’s not that i am sticking my hand up in there. [ JapanProbe via PopSci ]
