At 7-Eleven's new vending machine, this spud's for you

How many times have you found yourself craving mashed potatoes but completely unwilling to put in the time and effort needed to make them? 7-Eleven knows your plight and has done something about it. Turns out the chain offers creamy, buttery spuds in a Slurpee-like vending machine. These units have apparently been available overseas in markets such as Singapore, but they're now making waves stateside ever since a photo surfaced on Tumblr. It's unclear where this particular machine is located, but its copy is in English and reveals that, for a mere two bucks, customers can get some mashies along with a Big Gulp. Really, you can't beat that. And don't worry about not having enough for a nice gravy topping — the machine dispenses that, too, at no additional cost. [Source]
