Even though it's been three years since I was there (my GOD has it been that long?), I would be thrilled to see where this museum is located. My fiance and I spent one the best years of our lives living in JingMei. I took the LSAT at ShiDa Science. I miss TaiBei more than most grandmothers miss their grandkids.

In Taipei, there is a small underground museum that has old-style Taiwan (old buildings, pictures, cars, from the 1950s and before). There was even a 1950's style diner where they used the old manual machines to make shave-ice. The ice-coke machine was above ground nearby there. I have no idea if it's still there or not.
I can try to create a Google Map pushpin if you are interested.

I had this in Taiwan a few years ago (was only available at 1 machine, I guess was a test/demo unit). It doesn't taste exactly the same - somewhere between coke and coke zero. The ice doesn't last too long when it's >35C outside; the "fizz" (carbonation) seems to run out faster than regular bottled coke; and it costs more.
So yeah, a neat novelty item, but won't replace regular Pop/Soda vending machines.

@spoco2 I liked it, and I thought it was a nice thing to do, even if they brought their own cameras.
Am I still allowed to think that, or do I have to think what you are thinking? Not sure what you are trying to accomplish here.
I don't get people like you.. Why can't you just be happy that others enjoyed it, and leave it at that? Why make it anti-corporate, and try to take away what good others saw in it?
Do you hate all these videos as well, considering they are all for extra PR?

Sheesh.. Why not just downvote, and move on with your life?

That vending machine is amazing! It looks like it's operated by real people!

At work one time we discovered the orange sodas had been priced at a nickle.
We bought them. ALL. Every time they refilled. We brought a box with us.
Then they stopped doing it !!!!!
A long while back, my friends and I found a gas station with a broken pump. If you double-auth'd at the pump, it wouldn't register any of the fuel flowing out...
Yea, that didn't last too long either...

Vending machines here in America are boring. Now I want to live in Europe.

Karma. The circle of sugar water is complete.

I enjoyed this, but stopped to consider how these chaps benefited from others' misery. Let us first take a moment of silence to remember those forsaken souls who excitedly drop coins into a machine only to be cruelly teased by a transaction that never comes to completion.

What is even sadder?
I went back and listened to it again. Right after the guy says "coke" you can hear "it's a pepsi" real low.
I am back to thinking this is subliminal advertising.
Jaded, jaded, jaded, I am.

Good point!
I concede that I am too jaded for my own good....
It's a sad day.
