Did you know that the world's first fully automated vending machine dispensed soda?
Invented in the early 1920s, the vending machine used a coin-operated mechanism to dispense bottles of Coca-Cola. The machine would automatically open and close a door, allowing the bottle to be retrieved once the correct amount of money was inserted.
This invention revolutionized the vending industry and paved the way for a variety of automated machines that dispense everything from snacks to electronics. While vending machines have come a long way since their early days, the concept of using technology to simplify and automate everyday tasks has remained a constant theme in human history.

Did you know that the world's first fully automated vending machine dispensed soda?
The Smithsonian says that Hero of Alexandria had invented a vending machine for Holy Water in the first century AD.
I am not sure what the term "fully automated" means. ThoughtCo says the first fully automated vending machine appeared in the 1800s to sell stamp.
Perhaps the term "fully automated" refers to electric machines.
And Cocacola logo was red... I thought cocacola logo was green at the very first... (propably one othe post)
Could very much have been.
I couldn't find a vending machine that was from that time so I just looked for an old looking one
