The Ranking Of Favorite "Vending Machine Manufacturers": Who Holds The Top Spot?

A media outlet operating in Nagoya, named "Sablog," conducted a survey of 100 individuals in their twenties, asking, "Which vending machine manufacturer would you prefer to purchase from?"

The survey was conducted online in August, comprising 62 females and 38 males in their twenties and older.

In third place, "Ito En" and "Suntory" each received 10 votes, a tie.

Comments about "Ito En" included: "I enjoy tea, and Ito En offers a variety of teas, so I buy them whenever I find a new one." (Female, 20s)

"I prefer tea drinks over soft drinks"; feedback included "a rich selection, perfect for tea lovers" (Female, 30s).

On the other hand, comments about Suntory included: "It's a well-known brand with all my favorite beverages. However, I feel I don't see it often in town." (Female, 20s)

"I love Craft Boss and drink it daily," said a male in his forties, "I often consume Suntory, so whenever I see a Suntory vending machine, I purchase from it."

Second place goes to "DyDo Drinko," with 12 votes.

"The products they sell are quite rare, not produced by other manufacturers." (Male, 20s)

"I have always loved DyDo mixed coffee and purchase it frequently. DyDo beverages are also quite delicious," similar comments express a desire for more vending machines (Male, 40s).

"I bought a bottle from a DyDo Drinko vending machine previously, and then bought another." (Female, 50s).

First place is "Coca-Cola," receiving 45 votes.

"It's not about 'trust and performance records,' but rather when I see a Coca-Cola vending machine, I often stop, especially at the vending machine in front of my frequently used gym. I find myself buying it without thinking." (Male, 30s)

"I appreciate being able to fold it into a smaller size after drinking, making it easy to carry even when there isn't a trash can nearby. I also enjoy the satisfying crunch after consuming." (Female, 20s)

"I have Coca-Cola in my app, which allows me to use tickets, points, and PayPay, so I sometimes buy coffee and tea." (Female, 50s)
