I want to feel love: A Coca-Cola vending machine will offer a free Coke to anyone who is willing to give it a hug.

How far would you go for a free soda? Well, Coca-Cola is hoping that us mere mortals will be happy to hug a robotic vending machine, which will dispense free coke in exchange for a quick embrace.

The robotic vending machine, which has the words "Hug Me" emblazoned across its front, is currently giving out freebies at a Singapore university. According to a Coke representative the machine was welcomed with a "long line of people looking to give hugs" to the icy vending machine.

The video below, from

shows robo-human relations in action:

This special machine is part of Coca-Cola's ongoing "Open Happiness" marketing campaign. The company has set up similar macines both

and the UK where a hand appears from the vending machine dispenser, offering a more analog experience. The machine installed at the National University of Singapore is that little bit more digital, using sensors that sense when somone gives it a hug.

So, if you were running short on change and feeling thirsty would you put shame aside and hug this robo-vending machine? Let us know in the comments.

Normally, I would be all over this one, but there is just so many things wrong with

this, I just do not know where to start.

Like, do you need to wear protection?

Do you date it first?

Is the machine consenting?

Is it old enough to consent?

What are the charges for sexual assault of an under-age soda machine?

How much freakin' therapy would you need to cope with your need to "hug" vending machines?

Ok...I need to stop now.

i'm guessing punching it evenly with both hands also gives the same result? :lol:

seems like they just put a huge button in front of the dispenser lol
