when these belt drink machines first started rolling out, you could trick the machine and get free drinks.
there's a conveyor belt, and a drink is dropped onto it, and the belt pushes the drink through a door and into the green plastic coke bottle orifice. i'd seen a video on how to get extra drinks out of it, but i'd not tried. i was with my mother and brother, in a waiting room at a doctor's office, and there was one of these machines in the common area. my mom gave me a dollar to get a drink, and i figured i'd get two extra for each of them too.

so you order your drink, and stick your arm up through the green plastic bottle and hold the door closed. the machine fruitlessly to ram the drink bottle through the door, and gives up after a few tries. it refunds your money and the drink stays on the conveyor. it marks that selection as "sold out", since the door never opened. so i do it again. and on the final one, i let all three bottles through. three drinks for a dollar.
