Coca-Cola Japan to expand trial of dynamic-price vending machines (www.japantimes.co.jp)

The dynamic pricing scheme allows the prices of vending machine items to be raised when demand is high and lowered when sales are low.

Coke is not the only thing being sold in these vending machines. Irohas and Georgia coffee are all owned by Coca-Cola, and they’re everywhere.

Prices have gone up a lot recently (it’s more like ¥150-¥180 now, in Osaka at least) and this would send the prices up more - just think things like the prices for water shooting up in the middle of summer.

180円 everywhere around me in Tokyo for a Coke, and I live quite far out of the 23-ku.
