MASHED POTATO VENDING MACHINE EXTREMELY POPULAR
by Jelena Djurkic
Would you eat mashed potato dispensed from a vending machine?


Forget peeling, boiling and smashing. You can now get your mashed potatoes from a 7-Eleven vending machine.
Created by Maggi, a company that makes instant soups, seasonings and noodles, these automated machines are popping up in 7-Eleven stores overseas. Especially popular in Singapore, this piece of genius mixes powdered spuds with hot water and spews the concoction out Slurpee-style. Simply press a button and you can have Thanksgiving every day.
A video of the vending machine in action has been making the rounds just days after 7-Eleven's 85th birthday celebration on July 11.


But don't worry, the makers didn't forget mom's famous gravy sauce. After the liquid potatoes goop out, a nice and heavy squirt of chicken gravy follows. (Sorry all you vegetarians out there, you'll have to sit this one out.)
There's something oddly comforting about the fact that if you want mashed potatoes at 3 a.m. in the morning, you can now get them. There's also a whole lot of wrong about the fact that if you want mashed potatoes at 3 a.m. in the morning, you can now get them. And it'll all only set you back $1.00. If this makes it over to our side of the ocean, I predict a potato shortage will likely ensue. Can you imagine the supersized American version? Yikes.
Do these mashed potatoes look scrumptious or are you horrified by the concept? Would you eat mashed potatoes from a vending machine?

From what I read the other day there are 3 different gravy's to top the taters with. One of the sales pitches was that it would come in handy at Thanksgiving! lmao. Coming soon to a store near you!

This is just for Heim!! I wonder if there's a ketchup option? Damn I hope he sees this!

In another generation or two, children wont even recognize any food that does not come from machines like this.

That's because they are not mashed potatoes. They are instant potatoes. The only way 7-Eleven can consider these mashed is by the amount of "gravy" that has to be mashed into them to make them palatable.
