Vending Machine Eggs

We have lived here a year and a half and just discovered Japanese vending machine eggs. We were not sure what the words say on the machine but we thought we could hear some clucking nearby that might have been coming from inside the machine.

There are several choices of eggs depending on the size. There are 3 sizes: mini, extra large & Super Ginormous steroid fed with double yolk. You get 5 double yolk eggs for 100 yen which is like 2 American eggs. When we first saw the double yolk eggs we were not sure if they were chicken or duck eggs. For the mini eggs you get 15 eggs for 200 Yen. For the extra large eggs you get 6 for 100 Yen.
Here is a shot of when you put your coin in and open the door. I'm just amazed that the chicken can shoot the egg into the bag and then tie it together and load it into he bin without breaking the eggs. I soon found out later that the shells are pretty strong when you try to crack them. More to come on how these eggs are superior in quality.
