Coke machines to give free drinks during emergencies

Coke machines to give free drinks during emergenciesAs you may or may not know Japan is prone to many an earthquake. Japan’s major cities have an extended underground transportation system. So when a quake happens, people could be potentially trapped for long periods of time and suffer from dehydration.

That’s where these updated vending machines come into play. During an emergency, they’ll give out free drinks. But…Won’t people just turn into A-holes and start fighting over the drinks?

Maybe. But it’s still a good idea. It could save lives just by providing the drinks.
