I have never had a chocolate covered espresso bean, even though I think I would like them a lot. My head might explode.
i have some in my office right now and i think i will eat some in honor of sarah pithey do leave coffee grounds in your teeth though
But then it's like drinking coffee all day. Like having a little percolator installed in your molars...Wait, that doesn't sound terribly pleasant, does it? But it soo is...

Fujis are my favorite! I must have FUJI!!!
I have a banana almost every day too Gail.
There was a cyclone that wiped out the banana crop in Australia a few years ago. It was torture.
I just looked it up to check on the date. The cyclone was 'Cyclone Larry' in 2006.

Are you now, or have you ever been, a dangerous weather system, Larry?
I choose not to answer that question on the grounds that it might incriminate me.
You're in the clear, Larry. You can tell by the cyclone's footprint. It was wearing shoes.
Lol, you guys!
Can I have a glass of iced water please?
Can I have a glass of iced water please?
Sure. Let me just find a nice pint glass...
A schooner will do nicely thanks.
Take your pick. Oh, but you said you wanted water.
Was there a picture?
Pints are not such a big thing here. A beer (or water) would get too warm before you finished.

Yes, there was a pic. I think I fixed it.Our pints are smaller than than the Imperial pint, by the way. We use the English short pint--16 oz.--which was the standard during our colonial era, not the big pint you see in British bars.
My perfect drink vending machines exist already, on almost every corner in Japan. They have machines that have about a billion types of drinks in them (many that I'd never heard of), often serving both hot and cold versions of things like tea and coffee.I used to love this one cold coffee drink that could be found in almost all of them.
Now food vending machines? That would be hard. Maybe pre-made warm smores, twizzlers, and some sort of crockery bowls of hearty comfort food.
A schooner is 15fl oz. Not too far from your pint.
Which I guess explains why we don't have schooners here. I had to look it up.

Kraft has invented a vending machine that analyzes your face to predict what you want to eat. It combines facial recognition with other data to give you a snack, or email a recipe and shopping instructions.

Handy for all those annoyingly indecisive people.
Generally I don't use vending machines because I always look at the prices and go, "I can get that cheaper at 7-11!"But I have to admit that the first time I saw an iPod vending machine at my local supermarket, I shrieked and did a little dance.
