The mundane act of getting a soda from a vending machine is about to get a lot more interesting thanks to PepsiCo, the makers of popular beverages like Pepsi, Gatorade and Mountain Dew. Their new Social Vending System will allow consumers to not only buy a soda, but also, send one, to a friend. All the sender had to do is to choose a soda, enter a name and phone number and the machine will send a text message to the recipient with a special code, that can be used to redeem a free drink at any Social Vending System, nearby.

And, that's not all. To make it really interactive, the sender can even record a video message that will be played when the gift is redeemed. How cool is that!

    Well that's cool, sending someone else a soda, but you would have to ask the person your giving the soda to if they wanted it first, like what if you knew their information and then sent the soda code to them and THEN you tell them about it.
