 Have
you ever noticed how many vending machines exist around you? They’re
very convenient and easy to use. You can buy hot coffee cans in cold
winter or even cooked ramen from a vending machine in Korea!
Now, a new vending machine is available in the United States market.
It’s called Burrito Box! Burrito is a Mexican food item made of a
tortilla folded over a filling of minced beef, chicken, cheese, or
beans. It’s a popular snack among Mexicans and other people around
the world.
The machine was installed at a Mobil gas station in West Hollywood,
Los Angeles, California last December. You can select from six kinds
of burritos and there are even some options, such as sour cream. The
machine company announced that the burritos are made with from ingredients
free from hormones and antibiotics.
 Because it’s
not a burrito shop, you cannot add what you want or subtract what
you don’t. However, after you select your burrito, the screen on the
machine shows you the burrito ingredients and nutrition facts. You
then pay with a credit card. You may watch a music video or a video
ad for 60 seconds while you wait for your burrito.
According to the Burrito Box website, the second Burrito Box kiosk
is scheduled to open at a 76 gas station in Century City on Jan. 18.
