This is not intended to be a scientific complete study -ready below- but a fun Fun Market Survey blog article pushing to observe surrounding facts

Survey results

Well, just from observation:

 

 

 

cola – standard:	18 slots	20%
cola – light version:	9 slots	10%
cola – no sugar version:	9 slots	10%
soda – standard:	3 slots	3%
soda – orange taste:	6 slots	7%
water – still:	41 slots	46%
water – sparkling:	4 slots	4%

 

And in a more visual manner:

 

 

 

Additional observations

• food: 33%
• soft non-alcoholic drinks: 66%

 

Self-assessment

Why these results are more thrust-able than they first look like

In fact, the reliability comes from the location & its manager/owner:

• in these airport situations, these machines see a LOT of customers passing by
• these vending machines are very versatile, almost anything could physically fit inside; this particularly vending machine is obviously owned by a huge brand with a huge portfolio; they could offer plenty of different sodas & drinks if there was a market for it
• in order to keep the machine filled as much and as long as possible (less frequent refills=less transports) and keep their stock low (cash & refill transport), statistics and sales tracking is perfect

Why these results could be wrong

Or at least not representative:

• airport passengers & airport situation is possibly not representing the full population & drink habits (no alcohol represented here; in some eastern countries, draft beer is cheaper than a bottle of water…)
• limited to small bottles; larger bottles may have a different results
