Hack a coke machine

Well I know what I'm doing this afternoon. 😀

Oh that reminds me, back in the day when I lived in the dorms a buddy of mine showed me how to "hack" the washers and dryers so I got to do my laundry for free. 😀
 
This was in 2600 magazine as well. If you like this kinda stuff, 2600 has alot more where this came from.

Did you have those little magnetic cards too? that ruled
 
that explains how the machine at work has 2 for 1 on Mountain Dew periodically.

If I'm not mistaken all the machines at Chelsea Piers are this type as well...

I've done this before on the soda machine in the dorm I used to live in. It's just a cool trick, like the article says. There's also an inversely proportional relationship between how far someone has to reach to press a button and how many of that particular drink were sold... the bottom row sodas were always a few hundred sales below the rest.
 
Mmm...so to get a free drink, I set the price to zero and just choose whatever drinks I want? The article doesn't really tells u the step-by-step instruction.

Perhaps the diet drinks just aren't as popular?
 
A good programmer leaves a back-door for himself, if he can get away with it 🙂

Looks like the coca-cola machine programmer got away with it!
