Quarter Arcades have just announced two brand new machines coming to their miniature arcade collection – Pepsi and 7up.
And you’re probably thinking what I was thinking one hour ago: “A Pepsi and 7up arcade cabinet?!” As Numskull quickly clarifies for those of us scratching our heads:
“Numskull Brings 80s Flavour to USB Hubs”
These quarter sized replicas of vintage soda dispensing machines are cleverly disguised USB charging hubs. And they are designed to serve an invaluable purpose – to power your Quarter Arcade cabinets!
Numskull + Quarter Arcades + Pepsi + 7up = VIBES
Truth be told – I’m a Coca Cola man myself. And you wouldn’t catch me drinking a Pepsi if my life depended on it. Technically I don’t drink soda at all anymore. But both Pepsi and 7up are those kinds of familiar brands that just scream “vintage” and have strong nostalgic vibes.
And, luckily, these new entries to the Quarter Arcades line are incredibly useful power stations for all of your USB charging needs.
Technically, they are a charging dock for anything with a USB cable. So you are not limited to only Quarter Arcade machines. But the QA machines were obviously the primary intention for these, as they all create such a cool mini arcade scene when grouped together.
I absolutely love the promo shots that Numskull creates for their Quarter Arcades to look like a real arcade room from the 80s and 90s.
They started with ¼ sized arcade cabinets and bar stools, and have now completed the look with these awesome soda pop machines with illuminated front panels and working buttons.
The Pepsi and 7up machines actually dispense mini soda cans if you press the buttons on the front. So you can accurately reenact the golden era of arcade gaming in the privacy of your own living room.
Needless to say, these are officially licensed products created in collaboration with Pepsi and they very accurately recreate the true look of vending machines from the 1980s.
Each replica vending machine features five handy USB ports on the rear and a 12v power adapter that is included.
