Passive Aggressive vending machine
Everybody’s had one of those days where nothing seems to go your way, everyone seems like they’re against you and you just need to blow off some steam. Vent a bit of anger. But so many destructive things are frowned upon in our culture. How does one work out some frustration?

Artist Yarisa Kublitz has the answer. It’s a simple and elegant solution that keeps you out of trouble. Just use the Passive Aggressive Vending Machine that comes filled with fine China. If you need to release your anger, just feed it a coin, select the object you want to break and gravity will do the rest, breaking it into hundreds of pieces. There’s just something satisfying about breaking stuff. And hey, those people who work out their issues by actually putting things back together could get in on this too.

Nothing says robotics like a caffeinated robot. When you combine Japanimation and Coca-Cola vending machines, the result is supreme geekiness. If regular Coke isn’t your thing, there’s also a black Coca-Cola Zero robot waiting for you.
