(not my blog, found via Technorati) - .Steven, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3“Ok…. you ever wanted that free movie at the video store… but didn’t have the cash to spend to sit there all day. Well fear no more I have a solution…
First step… locate a machine where you put the coin the slot above the handle turn and drop the coin….Once you have found your victim buy one piece of gum
chew it
Once the gum has gotten soft…. tear off a small bit and stick it to the quarter… then take the quarter and smash the gum in the slot and turn the handle…
If done right once all the way around your quarter will still be in the machine ready for round two…
Now keep turning till you get your fill of gumballs or free movie!” - secretivecoward, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3anyone else glad this wasn't titled "Hacking a gumball machine"?

- kybishop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1HOW TO GET UNLIMITED GUM
it just says:
get a piece of gum, mold it around your quarter, shoe it in the thing
it thinks the quarter is still there and you can keep turning - .Steven, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1From: http://stealbelow.wordpress.com.nyud.net:8090/2005/12/03/how-to-score-free-gumballs-for-everyone/

- kourge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1kajoob: Both sides maybe?
- cnmsales, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Heh, actually the way described you have to purchase a gumball first meaning it cost you two quarters, not one. Still cool though.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Guys give it a break they are only gumballs...
- VendingGuy101, on 12/17/2007, -0/+0Well folks, I am a gumball vendor. It is SAD that you must CHEAT A .25 gumball machine. My machines are placed for a local children’s hospital. You really need to know WHO you are cheating money out of. I collect over $1,000 a month off of little gumball machines for kids who can not afford the medical bills. I find slugs from “losers like you” who need to respect us. Go do it to someone at wal-mart, and stay away from us little operators, who are trying to help someone else.
- DiScDuCe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yet another mirror of that post

- nfg05, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0would this get posted if it was a way to deactivate the security devices on dvd's so you could take as many as you want out the door without the alarm going off?
- spectre_25gt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Back when I was in 8th grade or so there was a soda vending machine at the local grocery store that would spit out a can of soda with every button press, money or not. My friend and I went with his mom and raided the machine. Ahh, the good ol' days.
- DasVersteckte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Whats a CINEMA????
- Juansito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thats dumb...what are the chances of that working....Plus you mess up the machine
- pickupjojo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Un Français pour traduire S.V.P. ?
- Skitzo444, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I used to work at a store that had one of those machines. I saw the mechanism that takes the coins and I played with it. When the quarter gets half way around it goes on a slope into the chamber so the quarter CANNOT return to the top. If anyone tries this they will see that it will not work
- Phineas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Alright so here's the schtick for those who don't want to read the mirror. Buy one piece of gum, chew it and then take a bit and stick it to another quarter. Jam the quarter into the machine, if you used enough gum, if you turn the knob the quarter won't fall out and after going 360 degrees the quarter should still be there. So for $0.50 you get all the candy in the machine.
- teh_toaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Used to work at a pool store where I would do this. There was also really crappy snack machine with chips and such that was not bolted down, simply turn the machine upside-down, shake, repeat.
P.S. I got a cavity that year, most likely because of all the gum. - minimob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0it easy to get free gumballs you just get a 12 gauge shotty aim and fire
