Could it be construed as false advertising? |

//false advertising// I'd agree with that. A distant memory of just such a situation and my expectation I would get both items. This was in the day when the slot price was the same for all items and the quantity was varied. |

...supposedly if you push that door flap all the way up so the
candy cant drop, a sensor in the machine will interpret as a
jam. Not only will the item drop, but its supposed to give
you your money back, then you can just let go of the door
and your candy will drop though. |

It should occasionally release the decoy item with odds depending on how long its been there. |

You'd need pretty good insurance, as this will expose vending machines to a fair amount of physical abuse. The prospect of freebies (even if it's a pack of gum) makes people lose all common sense. |

This is crossing the gulf between those penny falls/penny cascade things you used to see in old amusement arcades and traditional vending machines. |

You could drop a packet of crisps/mars bar/mints onto the oscillating shelf, along with all the other goodies, and see if the additional item pushes anything over the edge into the collection hopper. |

Whatever happened to the public: evil category anyway? |
