Same thing with the panty vending machine. Singular - there used to be one in Shinjuku that I knew of. Never seen one in real life and I've been a while.

And someone from the US or the UK writes a story about it like it's the next big thing, when in fact nobody in Japan has ever even heard of it (because it's a weird Japan story, not actually news or something that is happening). Japan needs a snopes type thing for all of these stories.
You should get on that! Build that website and you'd be a bazillionaire!
