Vending Machines That Sell Live Crabs

This is a device that we can't see coming to the U.S. anytime soon simply because animal rights activists would never allow it. But, in the city of Nanjing in China, you can buy live crabs from a vending machine when you get off the subway. These vending machines reportedly sell around 200 live crabs a day to hungry commuters that are on their way home to cook dinner after a long day at work.

The containers the crabs are placed in are actually icy cold, which keeps the crabs in a sort of semi-hibernation, not that they would be able to escape and crawl around the machine anyway.
