South African Vending Machine Dispenses Tea If You Tweet Nicely

Sure, you could insert some money and get at that delicious cold beverage in that vending machine, but South African company BOS Ice Tea has another idea: why not tweet instead of pay?

They’ve set up what may be the world’s first Twitter-controlled vending machine, and they’re offering free samples all week to Twitter users who tweet nicely.

The vending machine is in Wembley Square in Cape Town, and it has a name: BEV.

BEV gives out free samples of BOS Ice Tea to anyone who stands in front of it and tweets using the hashtag #BOSTWEET4T.
