A hobby that many people enjoy is gathering collectibles (http://www.soda-pop-collectibles.com). Soft drink bottles are a great item to collect. In fact, you can even collect the vending machines. Some brands that people enjoy collecting are Coca-Cola (http://www.soda-pop-collectibles.com/store.php?catid=13600), Pepsi, and Mountain Dew.

Some people are interested in collecting vending machines. The first vending machines were just self-service bins which had a coin cup. Afterwards, you could find automated vending machines that dispensed the soda bottle when the nickel was dropped in a slot. The advent of vending machines that made change was a huge breakthrough at that time.

It is difficult to find a Pepsi vending machine (http://www.soda-pop-collectibles.com/store.php?q=machines&catid=13612&submit=search&advanced=) because few were made in the past. Pepsi made larger bottles than their competitors and these did not fit in standard vending machines. Also, custom vending machines for large bottles was not an option for Pepsi.

Due to this vending machine manufacturers had to make various machines according to size and design of bottles. This led to the hike in the price of machines. Pepsi people were very cautious about the cost of the machine. They didn't upgrade their machines. Only a few of them were installed and today you can hardly find any.

Electronic machines with small in-built computers came next. The computers collected sales and other data and will soon become collectibles in the near future. Next will probably be machines whereby soda will be dispensed if you swipe your card. Some of the later models dispense cans and even 20 ounce bottles of soda. These later machines are not considered collectibles yet, but are still often purchased to enhance the decor inside homes.

One of the most popular items among collectors is the rare machine which dispensed directly into a fountain style cup. The older models were quite small and fit easily on a counter or a table. They make not take up a lot of room, but collectors are more than willing to give up the space for them.
