In our mass-produced, bar-coded, serial numbered world, an Original Thought is a rare and wonderful thing. Original Thoughts are only original once, conceived as individual labors of love at the momentary exclusion of all other thoughts, notions and musings.

The following Original Thought was conceived by Rush Hambleton exclusively for Katie Ambach, who, upon December 25, 2004, solely retains all rights, privileges, benefits and honors bestowed upon her as a result of her newly acquired…

The Concept:
Everyone loves Bacon. Bacon in anything makes it better – a burger, an omelet, an LT sandwich – all are better with a bit of Bacon. The Bacon Vending Machine brings bacon bliss to new territories including airport terminals, car wash waiting areas, office lunchrooms, and roadside rest areas.

How it Works:baconimage.png
Bacon Vending Machines make a very special kind of Highly Processed Bacon (“HPB”). In addition to being full of the very best high sodium, hickory flavoring and old-diner-scents, HPB is delivered on a spool for foolproof vending machine installation. Once a patron inserts sufficient coins or bills into the Bacon Vending Machine, gears unwind and strip the HPB onto the skillet ramp, which is heated by electricity or propane for a pre-specified amount of time. The grease runs down the skillet ramp, through grease holes and into a grease trap. During cooking, exhaust fans force savory bacon scent into the air and onto the clothing of the Bacon Vending Machine’s patron, affecting an olfactory marketing phenomenon. Once sufficiently cooked, a bacon cutter slices the cut bacon from the spool, where it slides down the skillet ramp onto the dispenser chute (possibly accelerated by manual tipping of the ramp and chute via an externally operated lever). Deluxe Bacon Vending Machines will also dispense Bacon Vending Machine Napkins.

Bacon Vending Machines will require occasional servicing to remove collected funds, clear the grease holes, empty the grease trap, and ensure sufficient stock of HPB spool.

Business Venture Possibilities:
The Bacon Vending Machine could be manufactured and sold to vending machine companies, or could be leased or franchised. The exclusive and proprietary distribution of HPB ensures ongoing income streams.

Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
