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
