18. Wow! That really is a great idea

The machines themselves are works of art (I was watching the gas-pump fire scene from the "The Birds" today and noticed the beautiful cigarette machine) so that Arto-Mat idea is brilliant. Excuse me while I go back to their machine gallery. :-)

12. It really is great.

And every bathroom I've been in in Germany has had a condom dispenser. Can it get any better?
