Vending Machine Sells Live Crabs


This vending machine from a Nanjing company popped up earlier this month at a local subway station. Nothing too odd about a vending machine you may think, but this one sells fresh crab ranging from 10 yuan to 50 yuan. But how do they keep the crabs fresh? Simple they keep them in a state of hibernation by lowering the temperature to 5 degrees, meaning your fresh crab will be live and pinching when you it pops out of the slot in its plastic container!

As an added bonus if you were unlucky enough to get a dead crab the company will give you 3 live ones for free! Awesome!!
