Vending Machines Help Germans With Late-Night Sausage Cravings

DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm David Greene. Germans have found a solution for their late-night sausage craving - vending machines.

So I guess we can say that is how that sausage is made. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
