A vending machine in Minneapolis is selling hand-packed frozen snowballs ? ready and waiting to be thrown at a sibling, loved one or enemy.
Created by marketing agency, Space150, the vending machine hopes to bring a little Minnesota chill to visiting Super Bowl fans.
Stationed in the alley of the Hewing Hotel in Minneapolis? North Loop, The Real Minnesota Snowball Machine sells snowballs for $1 a pop.
?We wanted to give Minnesota visitors something unique to our region that they could bring back home...Since we?re known for our cold, naturally that gave us the idea to sell real snowballs as souvenirs. And the best way to do that? Vending machine. This project was exceptionally fun because the entire idea rests firmly at the intersection of brilliant and dumb.? Brock Davis, chief creative officer
Getting snowballs to stay snowballs inside a vending machine is surprisingly tricky.
?The snowballs were made by hand and then sealed in a waterproof container... The vending machine is refrigerated, so once inside, the snowballs will never melt... The most complex problem we faced was making sure the snowball containers were waterproof."
Would you buy a $1 snowball from a vending machine?
