The food and drink dispenser unit is a human machine designed and constructed for easy and quick food consuming. It can be found in several human buildings and UNSC military ships, such as the UNSC Pillar of Autumn.[1] Earth has such machines throughout its cities built for civilian use, similar to vending machines. These are equipped with holographic clerks to help communicate to customers, but these automatons are very simplistic and cannot respond to complex questions.[2]
It is likely that the meat in most food & drink dispenser meals was actually a substitute: by 2552, meat was heavily rationed within the UNSC, and usually only available to the very wealthy.[2]
Food[edit]
- Turkey Dinner
Turkeys are commonly consumed as food by humans, and farmed for its meat and eggs. Though humans have been consuming turkeys for centuries, they are still common and popular in human eateries and in food & drink dispensers. Turkeys are also eaten on Thanksgiving which is an American holiday in November. Avery Johnson compared his first encounter with the Flood, in which the rest of his unit was slaughtered, to a turkey dinner.[3]
- Hamburger and Cheeseburger Dinner
The name is derived from the town it is originally believed to have been created in; Hamburg, located in Germany. When cheese is added to a hamburger, it is called a "cheeseburger". The food has been consumed for centuries, but is apparently still very common and popular among humans. Hamburger and Cheeseburger dinners are common choices on Food & Drink Dispensers which are standard throughout the UNSC Navy.
- Hot Dog Dinner
It is created from meat of various animals which are indigenous to Earth, such as pigs and cows. The food is centuries old but still very common and popular among humans. It is a standard choice on Food & Drink Dispensers which are standard throughout the Naval ships. It is often eaten with ketchup and/or mustard.
- Meat Loaf Dinner
Meat Loaf is a food consumed by humans, created from the meat of various animals indigenous to Earth. The food is centuries old, but still very common and popular among humans. It is a standard choice on Food & Drink Dispensers which are standard throughout the UNSC Navy.

Lemon/Lime is a human beverage, which is centuries old but still very common and popular among humans. It is made from the citrus fruits; lemons and limes, with carbonated or mineral water. It is a standard choice on UNSC Navy Food & Drink Dispensers.
Root Beer is a human beverage, which is centuries old but still very common and popular among humans. It is the non-alcoholic substitute of beer. Since servicemen on active duty in the UNSC are prohibited from drinking alcohol, because it clouds the thinking of humans and most other species (much the way the inhalation of Benzene clouds the thinking of Grunts), this beverage serves as a decent-tasting virgin (non alcoholic) drink.
Orange Juice is a human beverage, which is centuries old but still very common and popular among humans. It is made from oranges, a citrus fruit native to Earth; and carbonated or mineral water. It is a standard choice on Food & Drink Dispensers which are standard throughout the UNSC Navy.
Water, is a common chemical substance that is essential to all known forms of life. In typical usage, water refers only to its liquid form or state, but the substance also has a solid state; ice, and a gaseous state; water vapor and steam. Its chemical make-up is a covalent bond of two Hydrogen atoms and a single Oxygen. It is also one of various choices from a UNSC Food & Drink Dispenser.

Coffee is a human beverage, created with ground coffee beans that are grown by plants which are native to Earth. The beverage has been widely popular for centuries among humans, primarily because it naturally contains the drug caffeine, a stimulant that helps to keep humans alert. The coffee is cultivated very easily in warm and wet climate. Coffee is served in numerous restaurants and businesses such as Jim Dandy roadside diners and it is almost always served hot.
Tea is a type of beverage created by mixing hot, or cold, water with certain leaves or herbs, which absorbs some of the contents of these leaves, giving the tea flavor and sometimes medicinal value. Sometimes, milk and/or sugar are added to make tea sweeter. Tea drinks are very common and popular among humans, mostly for their taste and caffeine.
