Redbox
Scarlet rental machine
Redbox is a brand of automated kiosks that rent DVDs and video games, typically found outside grocery stores and pharmacies.
The name comes from the machines' red color.
At their peak in the 2010s, Redbox kiosks offered cheap overnight rentals as an alternative to video stores: I grabbed a movie from Redbox on my way home.
The service has declined with streaming's rise.
