3-NEVER, EVER, TRY TO GET A FREE DRINK BY ROCKING THE MACHINE. Do not ignore this piece of advice! Attempting to obtain a free drink by rocking the machine back and forth can result in serious personal injury or death! An article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (Nov. 11, 1988, p. 2697) documents 15 cases in which men trying to get a can out of the machine were crushed. 3 died, the other 12 required hospitalization for injuries such as fractures of the skull, toe, ankle, tibia, femur, and pelvis; intercerebral bleeding; knee contusion; and one punctured bladder.

First guy places in money, gets 2 cans. he's taking them away and right now thereafter, 2 greater cans. This keeps on till the finished rack is empty. i in my view walked away with approximately 10 cans of coke. the sorrowful element is that we had all seen the guy filling it up basically an hour in the previous and ours replaced into the final form of the day - No-one else around. We scored i think of roughly 60 Cans for the fee of one.

Of course I don't pay attention. If it steals my money, I beat the crap out of it. How soon do you think we will see stickers on new cars-"CAUTION-OPERATING THIS VEHICLE MAY CAUSE DEATH ".
