Years ago, we threw them anywhere in the downtown, especially in mailboxes, and it dogs' shits, and we also tried to keep them in our hands as long as possible before they burst, which was quite dangerous

I also started using a trick I learned myself with coin-operated vending machines (single quarter ones, where you'd put the quarter in the slot and twist the knob until the item came out) when I was 12. I'd put the quarter in the slot and twist it slowly until I heard the click where it released the item. If the quarter was still in the slot (you can't turn it back if it wasn't), I'd twist it back and then forward until I heard it again (getting me another), and did it until I was satisfied. Nowadays I don't use them anymore and one more quarter isn't that important...

I have a trick for big vending machines. I have a dollar coin with a small hole in it, and so I tied a string around it, and I stuck it in the machine, and when it registered, I could pull it out and do it again. And get change for however much I wanted. Highway robbery.

I've heard of that one before--how did you get the hole in the coin?

I use that trick too. It was invented by none other than Top Cat.

You can hack some of the vending machines actually..
But yeah, I've tried the coin trick a few times too... It was pretty fun.

I might try it again soon. Just hope I don't get arrested.

Try to hide what you're doing with your hand

Do all vending machines have CCTV cameras nearby?

I don't think it's a bad thing. There is far too much delinquency in France.

CCTV cams are definitely good, they're even designed to look like lights

Well they do
