The Daily Life Of A Coke Vending Machine

By Piers Fawkes on September 24, 2007

CScout blog gives us a fascinating report on the blog created by Ryuuichi Terada of Sapporo who has taken a picture everyday of the same Coca-Cola vending machine for over two years. The blog is called I take a picture of the vending machine every day (or so). I’m very sorry. and Ryuuichi even documents key changes on the machine. Michael Keferl of CScout says:

While I laughed off the premise immediately, I soon became hooked. Not only does he take daily photos, but he compares the photos to the previous year and draws John Madden-worthy diagrams explaining the daily changes. The addition of new products, stickers, and marketing gimmicks are all there in clear detail.

More photos of the machine and other’s Ryuuichi Terada stumbles upon can be found on his Flickr account. Ryuuichi Terada’s wife takes the photos of the machine when he’s out of town.
