Only In America: Introducing The Burrito Vending Machine

Only In America: Introducing The Burrito Vending Machine

We've all found ourselves craving something naughty from the office vending machine to help pick us up during that afternoon slump - but a burrito? Really?

The Burrito Box company has debuted "the world's first automated burrito kiosk" at a petrol station in West Hollywood. Only in America.

The Mexican food dispenser comes complete with a touch-screen menu that lets you choose between five burrito flavours at $3 each.

Once you've chosen between chorizo sausage, roasted potato, uncured bacon, free-range chicken and shredded beef, you can select whether or not you want to add sour cream, tabasco sauce and guacamole... For an extra fee, of course!

For those of us who don't live anywhere near this vending machine (that's probably a good thing) reporters at local news site LAist tried all five burrito flavours and gave their verdict.

The roasted potato, "just didn't smell like a burrito or anything savoury should." And the uncured bacon burrito, meanwhile, had a bacon flavour that "came on strong like cheap perfume." Nice *winces*.
