Here’s another great vending machine installation. This time it’s from South African brand BOS Ice Tea who have launched this Twitter powered vending machine in Cape Town.
Users simply have to send a tweet to the BOS account, @bos with the hashtag #BOSTWEET4T and the vending machine will dispense a free sample of BOS Ice Tea. The vending machine is the work of South African marketing agency Cow Africa. I like the idea of combining an online platform like Twitter with a real life installation. Would you stop and tweet for a tea?
