Oh, do you all purchase those often?

I knew that there are vending machines for cigarettes and panties, but I heard from my Japanese acquaintance that there are not really common now compared during the 80-90s (not sure about the time period but this is the rough estimate). I only saw like two vending machine for cigarettes here in my area and saw none about vending machines for panties (maybe in a much more populated area I guess?? idk lol)

If you don’t mind, could you elaborate about these type of vending machines? I’m genuinely curious about this (and the reason why you answered these items, instead of the usual items like drinks and such.)

Thank you very much!
