  on.  I wrote this file just in case you were somehow stranded and      
  needed food (or an arcade game credit), you might try one of these     
  methods.  And if you do try one of these (which you shouldnŐt have in 
  the first place) I am not, in anyway held responsible for your     	   
  irresponsible actions.  So, please do not try any of these.  Read On.

1.	Quarter Pick Method
 

You will need:

* Quarter
* Strong String (Fishing line works pretty well) 
* Metal Drill


Vending Machines will work on:

* Arcade Games
* Pinball machines


What to do:

* Firmly tie the string to the quarter.
* Take the string and quarter, and very, very slowly put it down the coin slot.


What will happen:

*It will give you credits and you can yank the quarter right out!


Why it happens:  

*Ounce the quarter passes, the machine interprets that you REALLY put the quarter in, which you have, but- you just yank it out afterward!


My little hint:

* Do it over and over again before yanking it out!

--------------------------

2.	Salt and Water Method


You will need:

* Half a cup of salt
* 2 liter bottle
* Either a funnel or a rolled up newspaper.
* Luke Warm Water


Vending Machines will work on:

* Soda/Pop Machines


What to do:

* Roll the newspaper into a funnel (or just buy one)
* Pour the salt & Water into the pop machine using your funnel.

What will happen:

*Quarters & Pop will start "shooting" out of the machine!

Why this happens:

* In case you didn't know, salt and water creates a mild electricity. Therefore, ounce you pour it down, it hits to switches, one control the pop/soda coming out and one controls the change that comes out.  Therefore, your salt & water will hit those switches, short circuit them, and well... you get the picture.

--------------------------

3.	Sticky Method


You will need:

* Either a small piece of gum, or a small piece of strong tape.
* Quarter


Vending Machines it will work on:

* Any kind of machines that you twist the little handle.  (Gum ball Machines Ect..)


What to do:

* Take the piece of tape or gum at stick it on a quarter.
* Put it in the vending machine.  (tape/gum facing the machine)
* Twist it.


What will happen:

*You will get candy and your quarter will still be there.


Why it happens:

* The bottom line is that your quarter doesn't have to fall out for you to get the candy.  You just have to be able to turn the handle.  Therefore, if the tape/gum is strong enough to hold the quarter, it will still be there.

My little hint:  

* Do this alot, just keep twist, and hold a bucket below the candy slot!

--------------------------


4.	Clog Method


You will need:

* Paper, Tissue, piece of cloth.  (either one of those)


Vending Machines it will work on:

* Will work on all machines with "Coin Return Slots".  Works best on those spiral ring vending machines, because change always falls out of there.


What to do:

* Stick the Paper, Tissue, piece of cloth.  (either one of those) up the change return slot.


What will happen:

* When someone puts their money in, and receives change, it will get stuck where you put the tissue/paper/cloth.  They, you can just reach up and pull the tissue/paper/cloth out and get their change.


Why it happens:

*Their change gets clogged up where you put the tissue/paper/cloth.


My little hint:

*Leave it in for a couple of days and you will probably get almost $10.00!

--------------------------


5.  Key Method


What you will need:

* A local computer store.


Vending Machines it will work on:

*Those spiral ring ones.


What to do:

*Go down to your local computer shop and say that you lost your computer key, and that you need a replacement.  He will give you a ring of keys.  The one that works on your computer will work on the vending machines!  Put the key in the vending machine and get all the candy/food/ money/change you want!


What happens:

*The key will open both of em'!


My little hint:

*Make a double key at your local hardware/locksmith shop!
