What next for vending machines?! Umbrellas?! Oh wait… I’m sure there’s a scientific explanation for this, but I prefer to think the Coke fairies did it. It would probably taste even better on a hot summer’s day – providing the technology still works, that is! It tastes like a Coke slushie, only you don’t have to put up with a surly-faced cinema employee to get it. It was a cool day so everything worked perfectly and the Coke stayed icy for ages. ![]() Yay! Ice magic! You can really see it in the close-up below.įinally, tip back your head and quaff that frozen Coke right away! Dingy back alley optional. To compensate for no pictures of the last step, I took two pictures of this one. Second, slowly turn the bottle upside-down, whereupon ice crystals start to form in your Coke.

We spotted one, classily located next to a dingy back alley, on our epic trek round Wan Chai on my quest for Gosh cosmetics. It quietly disappeared a few months later.īut that wasn’t the last of these icy Coke vending machines. Alas, Hong Kong’s combination of heat and humidity meant the machine apparently didn’t work too well during one of our trademark sticky sweaty summers. ![]() I can't believe eight years have passed since I first found this wonderful cooking community! Life circumstances have recently kept me away, but I hope to be back soon.I remember there being quite a lot of hype for these ice-cold Coke vending machines when the first one popped up under Island Beverly (near Sogo) in Causeway Bay. Recipezaar is my favorite cooking website. I also enjoy gardening, nature, travel, and skiing.
