Free coke bottle from vending machine

Wednesday 15th November 2006 07:08:39 PM

I came across this trick on a blog somewhere (for the life of me can’t remember where) and I, along with Rio, attempted it unsuccessfully at Hud Uni. The idea is to trick the new coke vending machines into thinking the coke bottle has not been dispensed, and it will refund the money as a result. You can then use the money to get a coke bottle as normal and when you do the first bottle will be dispensed too.

The reason why it was unsuccessful was because the first bottle fell to the right side, and when I asked Rio which bottle he wanted he said Coke Zero. Now this was on the ride side of the machine so when it fell, it fell right on top of the other bottle! When the machine tried to roll the bottles into the open flap they couldn’t get through because they were both jammed.

Oh well I’ll know better next time (i.e. to select from the left the second time round).

Here’s a video from YouTube telling you how the scam is done.

That's why in the US they need a code printed on a coupon to avoid scammers like You :D.

Fri 17th Nov 06 07:58:45 PM 9 Monks: I am in the US and have never seen a soda machine that looks like this. All of the ones around here (california) dispense cans or plastic bottles through a solid machine. We don't get to see the inner workings of the deal...up until now, i always thought it was magical.

Free Pizza !! Do they give out coupons for free Pizza? I can buy that you can get a discount by lying but c'mon free. OR maybe taht I live in a university town where people are tend to be smarter so these tricks don't work here.
Mon 20th Nov 06 05:03:41 PM 12 Rai: not "free" free but 25% sumtimes 50% off the actual price
