[Answer] What did the very first vending machine dispense?

We have looked all around the web to find the most relevant answer to your query: 


What did the very first vending machine dispense?


  • Holy water:The first vending machine dispensed holy water in temples, and was invented by Hero of Alexandria in the 1st century Roman Egypt. It was devised to allocate a proper amount of holy water as people were taking more than their fair share. The vending machines were situated in temples, which priced a five-drachm coin for a small amount of holy water. When a coin was inserted, it would hit a metal lever. The lever would raise, and the machine would release a small amount of holy water. The concept of the vending machine would not take off for many, many more centuries. Source: Mental Floss
