Suntory has announced that all their soft drink machines are now free in order to help people overcome the food shortages that are going on.
Maybe this is just me, but I think Japan is one of the few countries where a company could do this and people wouldn't just go around from vending machine to vending machine filling up shopping carts with free drinks.
Edit: another story I read on Japanese twitter: apparently Tokyo Disneyland is doing the same with its snacks. One of the guys passing out the food noticed a couple of punk HS girls taking multiple bags at once. He was about to say something when he noticed that they were actually handing the extra bags out to small children that couldn't get anything due to the large crowds.
