Life-Altering Vending Machine of the Day: PepsiCo is set to launch a line of “next generation” social vending machines that will allow customers to connect with friends and gift them drinks with the push of a touchscreen button.

A press release explains:

Using digital technology, PepsiCo’s Social Vending System enables any user to gift a friend by selecting a beverage and entering the recipient’s name, mobile number and a personalized text message…The gift is delivered with a system code and instructions to redeem it at any PepsiCo Social Vending system.

Cooler still is the “Random Acts of Refreshment” feature, which allows customers to purchase drinks for strangers around the world. “[A] consumer could send a symbol of encouragement someone in a city that has experienced challenging weather, or a congratulatory beverage to a student at a university that just won a championship,” PepsiCo says.

I’d like to buy the world… a Pepsi?
