Tired of your favorite food being banned...fight back with a Pizza machine...

What's worse on waistlines... pizzas or cupcakes???

Those are Automatic Cupcake Machines.

And the stuff is really fresh, as the bakery's right behind them and constantly replenishing the machines with freshly baked cupcakes. Nothing is ever more than a day old.

Some of the popular machines are serving over 1000 cupcakes a day:

Cupcakes according to the documentary I just watched on the BBC. Sugar, or more exactly high-fructose corn syrup, is apparently at the root of the cause of Americas obesity epidemic (33% of people in the US are clinically obese). It seems people are being deliberately, from about the 60s onwards, addicted to sugar. Great for profits and bad for the nations health.

Even more shocking, the US Sugar Lobby forced the US Govt to threaten to withdraw funding from the World Health Organisation ($400 million + ). Why? Because WHO were going to publish a report that recommended a maximum sugar intake per day...... So the US Govt did as they were bid, and WHO never published that report......

Yep... entitled sugar and sex are America's addiction.

HFCS and Sugar are certainly bad for ya, but oddly, white rice, white flour, potatos are also pretty evil due to the way their simple starches convert to sugar upon contact with your stomach enzymes - eating a potato is about the same as eating the equal calories in pure sugar.

I lost 100 lbs recently and these issues are right in the forefront of my daily life - trying to keep it off - I'm good a year so far.

As a foodservice pro who actually made pizza for money...there is not much similarity between the two products when considering perishability, and the ease of dispensing. Hot food is just the most pershiable - it's got to get to customer HOT or it's bad. Cupcakes in a vending machine need minimal climate control and stay good for a day no problem. Hot pizza is good for at most 30 minutes although it may be edible 4 hours later - or 8 if you leave it on the coffee table and the dog does not eat it.

Not that there is anything wrong with a cupcake dispenser - I like cupcakes, just don't get to eat them OR pizza as often as I used to.


Edited to add: Watched the video - the making of the dough from scratch is a new twist, the rest has been done before - look like they are using the FlashBake technology in the oven - it's a super fast light-wave oven design that was interesting. But the highlight of the video is the voice dubbing and music- Classic!

You said "Netherlands". But "Let's Pizza!" says "Japan". . .?

I'll stick to Rocky Rococo...

Not for me: it was the revealing blouse that had one too many buttons unbuttoned. ;>

I don't even like most cupcakes, they're too sweet and I really don't like sweets.

Last time I ate a candy bar was (1) last Halloween, at the end of October. My next one will probably be this coming October, at Halloween. Just never got the "taste" for sweet stuff.

Don't eat cupcakes, cakes or pies unless they're fresh fruit pies with no added sugar. Everyone else hates them like that, but I like them like that.

I like sour stuff. Gimme lemons and limes!

I eat fresh fish with lemon, yummy.

Might explain why I haven't gained any weight in 40 years.

But I do recall college days: The "breakfast of champions" was cold pizza and warm beer. Didn't seem to hurt us at all, but we were a lot younger then.

I would think so. Someone has to go in there and clean everything up, and make sure the pizza toppings haven't expired their shelf life. Then, it needs to be restocked. The food cost alone would sink you if you didn't track what the machine was making.

How could you tell if the anchovies were expired? They smell the same to me, fresh or ... otherwise.

On the other hand, fugu pizza might just be a biggie in Japan...that and a cup of kopi luwak!
