Coconut Milk Vending Machine

drill coconuts and pour out the milk

Coconut Milk Vending Machine, delivers a cup of delicious coconut milk on deposit of a suitable amount of money.

Here's how it works: when you drop in your money, a coconut tumbles out of the chilled storage hopper and is gripped firmly in place, ready to receive the first of the two holes that are drilled through its outer shell. (one hole for the milk to come out, and one to admit the replacement air)

A degree of agitation ensures that all of the watery contents are dribbled out. The milk is delivered to a pre-positioned container via a suitable filter, removing any particles of coconut shell. The container is weighed, and if underweight, another coconut replaces the first one, and the process is repeated to bring up the measure.

Customers can also choose to receive the drained coconut, otherwise it is returned to storage for subsequent processing. Once the container is filled, a hatch opens allowing the customer to retrieve their luscious chilled coconut milk drink.

Something to look forward to when summer brings a lovely day and the dreaded virus is in retreat. (Bill Withers RIP)

       What a delicious idea. Pity this wasn't developed 8 years ago. [+]

       //He's right, you know.// He may be, but where I come from coconuts were never seen until around halloween and were a rare and exotic treat. To break them open involved using a very basic corkscrew to penetrate two of the holes, then the contents were poured into a glass from which we each got about a table spoonfull each. This was always called the milk. The shell was then bashed open with a hammer. The first time I tasted commercial coconut milk, I was expecting this clear liquid and not the white fluid that greeted me.

       Everyone else is not responsible for the paucity of your life experience. Get over it.

       Yes, but significantly lower potential lethality. A full-size coconut impacting the sternum has the potential to cause a cardiac arrest; a head shot could potentially cause a skull fracture.   

       Even an abdominal hit could rupture the spleen or liver.

       But killing your customer's target is very good for repeat business, if you make and sell weapons systems.
