An egg vending machine in Tainan, Taipei has gained a following after a slow start, according to a Taipei Times report.

The machine, located near National Cheng Kung University, offers eggs for NT$25 (82 cents) using a built-in conveyor belt. The conveyor belt process is designed to emulate collecting eggs from a chicken coop.

Following a slow start, the machine has become so popular that it now runs out of stock on a regular basis due to the country's egg shortage and customers posting about the vending solution on social media.
