Live Crabs Vending Machine

The latest thing to be packaged into food vending machines could give customers a nasty bite: live crabs.







Shanghai Hairy Crabs are being sold straight from machines outside subway stations in Nanjing, China. The crabs are kept in individual plastic containers at temperatures of 5°C, which puts the crabs into a state of hibernation. Any unlucky customers who happen to buy a dead crab will be reimbursed with three live crabs for free. The crabs reportedly are 30 per cent cheaper than those sold in stores, with vending machines asking anything from $A1.50 to $7.50 each, depending on size.
