In a few days, vending machines will offer much more than chips and soft drinks. Huntington Beach-based Quicksilver will sell boardshorts and bikinis for $75 each.
The first vending machine to dispense “a limited collection of original boardshorts from the ’70s and ’80s and women’s bikinis,” will be at the top of The Standard hotel in Los Angeles, according to Orange County Register’s Hang Nguyen. The Standard and Quicksilver have partnered to offer four designs inspired by each Standard hotel.
“Each boardshort features no rash, perfect stretch, ultra lightweight and Quik dry. All the boardshorts come packaged in an odor resistant waterproof travel bag making it easy to go from the pool party to the suitcase,” Nguyen said. A celebration of the launch will include an art show and live music at the downtown LA hotel on August 13.
Save those wrinkly dollar bills for ordinary vending machines.
