When I first saw this article on a friend's facebook wall, all I could think was, "Wow, these guys are just trying to increase the amount of vending machines." It's pretty much a hipster attempt at a vending machine but it's adding nothing new really. People really hate this idea so far: https://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/gentrification-box?utm_term=.yyYk4q5lW#.onN87Gg2n
Yeah if you follow that crunchbase link you'll see that it's full of tweets of people hating on it. It's kinda hilarious. OOP! nope. They apparently scrubbed that. In other words, they were so caught unaware by the hate that they didn't bother to bombproof their crunchbase before hitting FastCo. Nice.
