In Switzerland, pregnancy tests are just a vending machine away

By Mike Lillis - 08/20/10 11:25 AM ET

Europe's largest vending company has launched a campaign to offer pregnancy tests in its Swiss machines.

Zug-based Selecta hopes the concept will catch on among young women leery of buying the tests in more-public retail stores, AOL News reported this week

"We have seen that acceptance for such a product is high enough for us to proceed with equipping the 3,000 machines we have all over the country," [Selecta Director Thomas] Nussbaumer told AOL News. 

He added that, since condoms are selling well at the vending machines and demand is growing, it suggests there might be room for a "connected" product.
