Pizza from a machine? Well, it is coming from the Italians, specifically one Italian -- Claudio Torghele.

Torghele took 10 years to develop his "Let's Pizza" machine , which makes pies from scratch. He launched the prototype in his homeland in 2009.

The machine bakes pizza from fresh ingredients in under three minutes, Torghele said. You can actually watch the machine mix flour and water, knead the dough, spin the dough into a circle, spread the sauce and add toppings of your choice.

Torghele's machines are already in use in the United Kingdom, Israel and Poland. And he's expanding to Russia and Belgium this year.

Pepsi's social vending prototype machine features a touch-screen that lets you enter a friend's name, mobile number and text message -- and get this -- "gift" a beverage to them.

If that's not cool enough, another option lets you record a short video right at the machine and send that with the gift, too.

Your friend can redeem his drink at the nearest Pepsi "Be Social" vending machine after entering a code that goes along with the text message. They can also send back a "Thank you" message.

In less than a minute, this fully automatic, human-free cotton candy maker from VendEver spins and fluffs a pink vanilla, non-sticky cotton candy concoction.

With the VendEver Cotton Candy Factory machine, cotton candy lovers can still watch warm sugar crystals magically transform into a super sweet treat.

Rick Leffke, CEO of VendEver, said 350 cotton candy machines are already in use nationwide, in movie theaters, bowling alleys and on college campuses.
