Are you old enough to remember the vending machines outside shops when you got bubble-gum delivered for a penny? Now bubble gum is 20p and other confectionery can be 50p or a £1 from these new style candy machines in Clarendon Shopping Centre.
Twetnty-first century rip-off. (Though there are times when the pleasure you're paying for is not the taste of the confection but the pleasure of buying from such a contraption.)
Yep, we have them in shopping malls here too. On one hand they're cheerful looking. On the other, visual overkill. Modernity marches on.
