Photos of the 'shout-out' vending machines shared on social media reveal their could be a wait for the service as excited shoppers line up to have their own chance to choose a name to be scrawled onto their own can.

'You just scan the QR code to get the free cans, mine were done in a minute,' one woman said, sharing a picture of the machine.

'I wish these were in Tasmania,' one woman said.

'Are the coming to Melbourne?' another asked. 

She said the machine at Liverpool Westfield was giving away two 250ml personalised cans for free.

According the the Coca Cola website the vending machines are available in Liverpool, Parramatta and Miranda in Sydney and Broadbeach on the Gold Coast.

Custom drink cans and bottles can also be made at the Coke Truck pop ups across Sydney and south-east Queensland.

Not only does the machine allow for more unusual names but shoppers can also have their nicknames or pet names scrawled onto the side of each can. 

The pop-ups have been available in January - so shoppers need to hurry to avoid missing out. 

Shoppers from other states can still have a personalised label by need to buy them online. 

'We bought some online and they came on glass bottles which we shared on Valentine's Day,' one woman said.

'That's mad, I am coming down to get some,' said one man.

This isn't the first time vending machines have caused a stir in recent weeks, a pop-up cupcake vending machine - which offers six different desserts at the push of a button.

The 'cupcake ATM' has been set up by The Mason Baker in Brisbane, and has caused a stir online.

'Hopping in my car from Toowoomba right now,' one woman wrote when she saw a picture of the bright pink vending machine on Instagram.

The ATM was set up last Friday in the Fortitude Valley, and has a flashy display which shows off the variety of cupcakes served inside.

One video shows a lineup outside the ATM as people patiently wait for their turn to use the novel machine.

'Oh my goodness, this is fabulous,' one woman wrote.

The ATM is stocked every Friday and Saturday from 5pm, according to the baker - but will only be there until the end of February.

'This is such a cool concept. Would drive to one if you had it in Victoria,' another cake fan said.

'I'll be testing this out for our kid free weekend away,' another person said.

Another person simply said 'shut up and take my money'.

The Mason Baker rose to fame in 2018 after owner James Willis secured a $100,000 investment on hit show 'Shark Tank'.

The now 28-year-old former Coles worker shocked the show's judges when he presented his idea for the company.

Instead of sending flowers, the concept sees an overnight delivery of assorted cupcakes in secured mason jars, ensuring the delicacy arrives in prime condition. 

The company still does gift boxes - posting the glass jars around Australia.

WHERE IS THE ATM AND WHAT FLAVOURS ARE THERE? 

The ATM is located at 6 Warner Street in the Fortitude Valley, Queensland. It will be stocked and 'ready for business' every Friday and Saturday evening in February - from 5pm.

There are six flavours including chocolate ganache, salted caramel, sticky date, strawberries and cream, blueberry and lemons and cookie flavour.
