Hmm....While we're on the subject of snack machines, I just must relay
my story of a Revelle Soda machine.
An old roommate of mine who *IS* on this list should probably remember this
story, because he probably got free soda out of it!!!! :)
...Anyway, if I had sufficient time, I'd go back to my online PHRACK
magazines I used to read which had cool anarchistic and illegal things
and I'd copy their stock disclaimer word-for-word...It was something like:
"The information you are about to read is for entertainment purposes only.
Any attempt to actually do this is wrong...Because well, it's illegal."
On evening during my freshman year, I went up to a soda machine which had a
very strange residue on it.. I put in my sixty cents (ahhh, the good ol'
days of sixty cent sodas)...When I hit a button, nothing happened. When I
hit the coin return, nothing happened. "damn", I thought -- it ate my
sixty cents...Until I looked down and noticed the coin return was jammed
full of change. Probably Two or Three dollars worth of quarters, nickels,
and dimes. Then I reached down into the soda dispenser and found it was
also jammed full of sodas --- When I was done emptying them, it must have
been at least thirty or fourty sodas. That evening, I pulled an all-nighter
while drinking approx. nine diet-cokes. I gave away a good deal of sodas,
and I distinctly remember carrying the remaining sodas home to my roommates. :)
Well, anyway I just wanted to tell you guys what the residue was which
apparently caused it. Apparently it was dried salt-water. Supposedly if
salt water is poured into the coin return, it confuses the damn thing and
gives you everything you have.. I've never actually seen this demonstrated,
but I believe it's possible...

P.S. I wonder if taking those sodas and change was a crime? A
misdemenor I hope? Statute of limitations have run out on it unless
it's a fellony...Does this count as a written confession? :)
