the Museum of online museums

Scroll down for some weird and wonderful collections.

My favourite is  "A Few Thousand Science Fiction Magazines"

Or how about:

 Japanese Calculator Gallery
 Collection of Soviet Wine Labels
or even
 Condom Wrappers of the 30s and 40s

but this one looks good:

 Museum of Vintage Octopus Pulp Covers

The collection of Japanese Vending Machines is incredible. Everything from food via cameras to "Schoolgirls Used Knickers"  eeek:

Truly Bizarre!!
This vending machine has truly bizarre contents... 'used' schoolgirl panties! We had heard that such machines existed but had never seen them. A colleague came across this machine in suburban Tokyo just recently (May 2002). This particular machine is a converted cigarette machine that now takes 10,000 yen notes (about US$80 bills). The current contents run from 1000 to 3000 yen.

Is that what a 'Pez' is?

I was thinking more along the lines of Canesten.  redface:
