Pepsi Co. Social Vending
In a desperate attempt to keep up with its competitor Coca-Cola, Pepsi Co. has decided to blend touch-screen vending and social networking together. The machine allows you to send a Pepsi product to a friend by entering their name and phone number. Your friend receives a text message and they can pick up the drink at their local interactive vending machine. You have the option to send an awkward 10 second video to the person who’s receiving the drink. The option to send a Pepsi product to a complete stranger is also available for all of you Philanthropist out there. Pepsi Co. definitely seems like their trying too hard and the old guys over there still lack the understanding of social networking. Try again. This does not get the “Stamp” of approval.
