These are bottles that fit into any plastic bottle vending machine. There plastic bottles that hold fruit such as strawberries, grapes, apples, peaches, bananas. Just a various mix. So when you buy your soda there can be an optional fruit bottle too for a snack. Or one with vegetables with a screw off dressing container.

the bottle would pop open from the upper middle, and the top where the cap usually is would have a peel off seal on the bottom inside with either the dressing or maybe a larger capsule for fruits that could have some juice.

       Yes, but i wonder how long the fruit or veg would keep. Maybe packed in nitrogen or refrigerated?

       Soon to be followed by 'genetically engineered fruit grown to fit soda machine bottles'.

       If you stick a bottle on a nascent fruit such as a pear or apple, it will sometimes grow to fill it.

       This could work in a high traffic location, where the machine is restocked daily. Even nitrogen packing would probably only preserve it for a couple of days, a lot of fruit is extremely sensitive. The machine would also have to be able to handle varied pricing, as fresh fruit is going to cost more than corn cyrup and carbonation.

       If the shops in the Spokane airport are any indication, a roughly same-size cup of fruit costs almost twice as much as a 20 oz coke bottle. Coke is $2.39, fruit cup is $4.00. Yeah, I know the prices are hyper-inflated because of the location, but the ratio should still be the same, I imagine. Anyway, price differences are no problem for most modern vending machines I've seen, in fact many have both sodas and Tropicana (or Minutemaid) juices in them, and the juice bottles are always more expensive.
