00:00The world's oldest vending machine is actually described in an ancient manuscript written by
00:05Hero of Alexandria. We're talking about a holy water dispenser from ancient Egypt.
00:11This thing was a fully automatic machine, set up right inside a temple. Drop in a five drachma coin,
00:18and the weight of the coin tips open a valve. And just like that, water flows out from the spout.
00:24As for who invented it, how widely it was used honestly, a lot of that is still a mystery.
