Vending machines aren't just for soda and candy anymore! Pop culture writer David Hoffman shows Rachael some high-tech machines that, for as little as a dollar, can provide you with an evening's worth of entertainment -- drinks, a movie and dessert!

There's no need to spend millions of dollars at an auction to satisfy your craving for art. For a few dollars and the pull of a handle, you can have your own mini works of art in seconds! The Art-O-Mat is a refurbished cigarette machine filled with little paintings and jewelry, and can be found in 82 locations around the country.

With the Enomatic Wine Serving System, you can sample new wines without having to buy the whole bottle. Insert your pre-paid card, choose a wine for a few dollars and in no time you're ready to toast!

The Red Box DVD rental machine is popping up all over the country in supermarkets, drug stores and even airports. For just a buck, you can rent a DVD in one location and return it to any Red Box machine in the country!


You scream, I scream, we all scream for an "an ice cream parlor in a box!" The machine from Moo Bella Ice Cream allows you to pick your favorite flavor, choose premium or light ice cream and a selection of toppings!

When your appetite requires something a bit more substantial than ice cream, check out New York's Bamn!, which is bringing the art of automated food to the 21st century. (And nothing costs more than $2!)
