HOW TO GET FREE SODA FROM VENDING MACHINES

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. (Wireless Flash) – This could drive soda company executives to drink: A former magician claims it’s easier than pie to get free Cokes and candy from vending machines. Paul Price, author of the new book, The Real Work: Essential Slight Of Hand for Street Operators (Loompanics), claims it’s possible to get free drinks just by squirting salt water into a soda machine’s change slot. Evidently, the salt water burns out the machine’s innards, causing sodas and change to pop out. However, the technique causes lots of noise as well as a minimum of $500 damage, so Price only recommends salting machines as a form of social protest against corporate fat cats. If that technique is too salty, he recommends gluing a piece of fishing line to a quarter and dangling it into the vending machine.
