Vending Machines
Vending machines have been in use since the 1880s, distributing postcards and gum, these early designs were the inspiration for slot machines. There are many varieties of vending machines all designed to provide an unmanned purchased of a number of different products, examples of these are, bulk candy machines, newspaper vending machines, cigarette vending machines, charge box (iPod charging etc)drinks and food vending machines and many more. Although vending machines are more commonly associated with coin operated machines selling candy, they have though changes such as accepting credit cards and companies being able to monitor them from afar. Also the products sold have become more varied such as shoes, umbrellas, hair products, laptop rental, dvd rentals, fish bait machine, and hot food. Japan boosts the most vending machines, about one for every twenty-three people. Japan have become known for having unusual vending machines selling pretty much everything from freshly prepared noodles, live lobsters, fresh meat, eggs, iPods and potted plants. Ice cream are commonly sold in vending machines due the fact they are contained in a cold environment and dispensed directly to the customer at preferred temperature. Using a vending machines as part of our big idea would be useful in addressing the problem of ice creams melting on the way to till, as the customer pays and then receives the ice cream. Wikipedia .

Cornetto is frozen dessert company and is part of the Unilever family, and the ice cream company Heartbrand. Its unique selling point is its crispy wafer cone, a recipe produced over 50 years ago, by Italian ice cream manufacturer Spica, based in Naples. Selling a frozen ice cream cone was an impractical idea at the time as the ice cream would make the wafer soggy during the manufacturing process. Spica overcame this problem by ‘insulating’ the wafer cone with chocolate. In 1976 Spica joined Unilever and was then sold throughout Europe.
Cornetto has had a very successful advertising campaign history, with the famous gondolier scene in Venice Italy featuring the song, “ Just one Cornetto,” ran for ten years and the theme was reused in 2006 set in central London. Wikipedia . (2013). Cornetto Ice Cream. (Online)
