Yeah go on the web and look up vending machines in like Japan, where you can get everything. It blows my mind how far we’ve come in even stuff like that in 50 years.

Even not that long ago in the UK, like ten, maybe fifteen years... You'd still see Clix vending machines with pre measured, powdered drink in them. Good luck on figuring out which soup it was. It was just labelled as "soup." ...and it was always mediocre but massively welcome if you were in a hospital, office, cold railway station etc.
