Brilliant! Train all your future customers to hate your company. Actually, it\'s worse than that:
Mom at supermarket: Bobby, you want some Jello dessert?
Bobby: Naw...I don\'t think I want any more Jello.
Mom: Why?
Bobby: \'cause I hate \'em; their pudding machine told me to \"get lost\".
mhmm
With the above poster\'s logic, kids would hate cars and choose not to drive when they reached the legal age to do so. They\'re CHILDREN... Kids don\'t boycott things they can\'t have. They wish, hope, ask, or scheme to get it.
More likely scenario:
Bobby: Can I have some of the pudding in that machine?
Mom: Sure I\'ll get you some.

I can see kids wearing halloween masks as they approach the machine...
And I thought kids were more effective at persuading their parents to buy something than direct advertising... :-))

What? Adults need special adult pudding? Haha, if you can\'t eat pudding cause pudding is for \"children\" then I think you need to relax and grow up. The picture on the box makes it look pretty tasty though. It\'s a good avertising tactic think of all the free publicity this is getting.

In Europe they had vending machines that sold cigarettes. They used the same technology. Do you know what the kids did? they brought a picture, a newspaper, a movie cover. There were reports of the many different ways to trick the camera. THIS IS FOR PUDDING, who cares?

Wouldn\'t it be cheaper to pay human beings (with built-in child detection!) to hand out pudding than to buy these custom-made pudding vending machines?
That said, I\'m sitting back and awaiting the first lawsuit by a dwarf denied pudding because their features don\'t match that of standard-size adults.

I can see these devices being used for vending machines for age legal things like alcohol and cigarettes if they could be accurate enough. I doubt they could ever get real specific due to other influences on maturity or growth like hormones and diet.

The parents might buy it... just as they\'re the ones who buy toys... but it\'s quite probable it\'s the kids that want it. In that sense, this might backfire.

As a former child who had adult tastes if, I were to have been told by this machine that I was not old enough to buy from it I would have disabled this machine so no one would be able to sample it\'s food. Oh yeah, I was smart enough as a child to figure out how to disable a stupid machine. Not all children are ignoramuses.

You can\'t have pudding, if you don\'t eat your meat! It\'t just another brick in the wall.
