Fossilized Embryo.

Alex

From the website:

The tiny fossils are part of South China's Doushantuo Formation, a limestone bed deposited between 635 and 551 million years ago that contains layers composed almost entirely of fossil embryos.

The team behind the research believes the fossils are the developing offspring of extremely primitive sponge-like creatures.

To resolve the delicate internal structures, the scientists used a technique known as microfocus x-ray computed tomography (microCT). The method allowed the team to construct 3D images of the tiny fossils.

I can see these machines doing well in dive bars and on college campuses, but still...I frequently make pizza from scratch, and that machine's pizza has got to be a nasty crust.

Rarely is the advertised product in a promo picture so obviously exactly how it looks like in real life, and consequently, so unappealing as here. It seems they didn't even try to make it look edible. Okay, guess they relied on other parts of the picture drawing most of the attention.
Also, Detroit Mac, have you never had the 4 AM drunken pizza/hamburger/kebab? That's the only right way to end a night out.

I've seen vending machines with Kosher hot dogs. Never tried one but I watched someone else buy one. Half the fun is watching the machine cook it and drop the hotdog onto the little shaped paper plate.
