  "account": "Vigo, a city in Galicia, Spain, has introduced a unique twist on traditional vending machines by installing 19 machines in eight of its car parks, offering frozen seafood for purchase. The machines, operated by Vigo-based company Welgood Technologies, dispense frozen seafood such as langostinos and king prawn tails, eliminating the need to drive to a supermarket or fishmonger during dinner hours.
