Fruit Vending Machine in operation!
2009 January 12
The Fruit Vending Machine at HPB is finally in service! Most of the fruits cost $1.00 and some at $1.20. The most expensive one is the cut mango which cost $1.50.
Bought the mango while I was on my way back from office and consumed it on the spot. The mango look and tasted fresh! If you happened to be a civil servant, you may want to put this as a Staff Suggestions if your office building does not have a stall selling fruits. Fruits are good for health!
Have you taken your fruit and vegetables today?

This is a very cool idea!They should have this venting machine everywhere like school canteen to encourage kids to eat more fruits!!! How often do they replenish the fruits?
Not free ah?
Love the concept where MS office has open fridge filled with drinks for their staff and guest for free. Red Hat office has a drink vending machine too! And its free! I want one of these in my future office too!
@Photosophize – These machines are slowly going into schools that are interested. Bukit Merah Sec Sch was one of the 1st few to get the machine. From what I heard, the fruits are replenished on a daily basis.
@Claudia – Ogilvy has a nice lounge as well… We only have water in HPB. Healthiest
Wow, that’s cool! Who would have thought that fruits can be sold this way?
SMU got one too!
Btw, I started to see food vending machines have increasingly entering our daily life! in fact, the champion of the recently NTU Business Plan developed an business model for Pao using vending machine.
