    Hi All,

    Hubba Bubba is 17p in the shop I work at!

    Cheers

    Steve


    *hides in embarrassment,

    Yes they are 17p at the local shops aswell, I was thinking of the huge !!! 'Hubba Bubba' type chud - with a coating of one colour and a different colour in the middle [usually blue/green and a red middle].

    Bad thing about Hubba Bubba is that it makes you want to swallow it after 3 chews!

    Me too, I stop off at the supermarket beforehand for sweets too & I hate those plastic hotdog things people have that smell like hog anus.

    I/mum always do the same when we get Orange Wednesdays :)

    Haven't personally tried it, i bought it as it sounded interesting!

    Also, i have Emptied my PM Box as it was full, so if you requested it, please send it again!

    Thanks
    Jake :D

    AFAIK all you can do with the Coke machines is view how much is in the machine and what not. You *might* be able to alter the price but it'll still be cheaper at home bargins or ASDA as mentioned above.

    Title
    Free Coke

    This information sold on eBay as
    FREE DRINKS FROM COKE MACHINES
    LEGALLY EMPTY A SODA COKE MACHINE
    HOW TO GET FREE COKE! VENDING
    HOW TO LEGALLY GET FREE DRINKS
    How To Legally Empty a Coke Machine


    Details
    NB: Although many of the ebay sales titles say "legally", somehow I don't think it is.
    NB2: Most machines are locked down so that although you can access the debug menu you only get to see stats, not actually get anything free. So you can only get a free drink from a very badly configured machine which is very rare.

    Details
    PLEASE NOTE THIS IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND NOT MEANT FOR YOU TO ACTUALLY USE IT ON A WORKING VENDING MACHINE THAT YOU DO NOT OWN YOURSELF !


    No need to buy the guide , get it free (and many other useless guides too ) from here , the coke guide is near the bottom of the list dated 16th Jan 2006.

    I remember the price when they used to be 35p from the vending machine at secondary school several years ago :(

    I remember when a can of Coke cost 12p, *cough cough* lol.

    You *can* still buy cans of coke from a vending machine for 20p.....I concede that the flight to Brazil might be a little offputting to take advantage of this price.

    Makes you wonder though....at 20p they're still making enough profit to bother filling venders up!
