9/18 - “More on quarters / retarded soda machine from heaven”

By The Stabbing Pen | September 18, 2008

When I was recently trying to hunt down some quarters for laundry, I recalled a “trick” we used to do in college.  Inside my residence hall during my freshman year there was a soda machine on the 2nd floor.  I’m not quite sure if the following applies to many machines, but if it does, I hope I’m not ruining this secret for all that have been benefiting from it.

Quite simply, first you slide a dollar into slot.  Next (when nobody is looking), unplug the machine itself.  Then, after a few seconds, plug the machine back in.  Hit the “receive change” button, and voila! —- your dollar will spit back out…as well as your 25 cents change this dumb machine thinks it owes you.  I love(d) it.
