It was recently brought to my attention that Nanjing was featured in the Colbert Report. Here is the link to educate yourself:

Crab Vending Machines!
So, this last weekend we decided to go find these mythical vending machines! It took a little while but we were able to accomplish our goal.
The Chinese are as interested as we are.
As you can see, they are a hot item! All the biggest, 50 yuan crabs are sold out. So there you have it, proof that you can put crabs in a vending machine. The saddest part of this is that I have become so accustomed to China that this doesn't seem that strange to me.
