Lick your lips for this 1970s robot cotton-candy vending machine

I’m not entirely sure what cotton-candy is, mind, not being from North America. But I know that if you feed 50 cents into this robot, it’ll give you a scoop of the stuff. Its eyes light up, and it’s on wheels so you can push it around the house. It’s on eBay, and the starting price of $1,999 seems fairly steep though, particularly as you’ll have to pay shipping costs from Canada. No, they won’t push it to halfway.

Also today on Bayraider: a charity auction in aid of the air ambulances that rescued Richard Hammond, and a Hello Kitty surfboard signed by Jessica Simpson, Jessica Alba, Kevin Federline and a host of other Hollywood celebs.
