And sometimes technology doesn't win.

The Beautiful Vending Styler is the latest beauty must-have taking over the UK. What could be more popular than Soap & Glory you ask? A vending machine that comes equipped with "award winning GHD irons."

I'm assuming it works like any other vending machine wherein you put some coinage inside to get your desired product -- except I doubt your bag of Fritos has as many germs on it as these community flat irons do. (Ew, I feel gross just typing that.)

Although the high temperatures of the plates keep the flat irons sterile, the handles don't have a similar type of protection. And considering the fact that people don't even like to touch the door handles in bathrooms, I just can't fathom why thousands of women in the UK are all willing to share the same hair straightner.

I mean, you wouldn't share your hair brush with that many people, right?
