Italy's New Wonder Pizza Vending Machine

Someone knows a money making scheme when they smell it- in this case, it's a brand new pizza vending machine that cooks frozen, prepared pizzas from a shiny new contraption. Called the "Wonder Pizza Italy," this little technological gizmo offers buyers a few choices of toppings and then on hot coils, "cooks" the pizza. No word yet on how the food tastes, but they certainly look cardboardesque enough. How do I know? Click here and take a gander yourself.

If this doesn't remind you of the old-school frozen pizzas we all ate when we didn't know better (I was about 8 years old!), then take a second glance. "Fresh" pizza in 90 seconds? Yeah, I doubt it. And the weirdest part of all, is this machine is being marketed to ITALIANS- the inventors of pizza itself! And with prices starting at $5, I can't imagine school kids in Napoli opting for the fake and bake stuff when real, wood-burning oven versions that taste of good, fresh ingredients are just about on every corner (and probably half the price)... It makes a pizza-lover like me mutter "QUE?" in bewilderment from my little corner of the world!
