Idea of the Month
Luke Spagnola of Troy, Ohio submitted the best idea in June. It was rated 3.0, or Excellent, on the scale of 1-3: "Vending machine manufacturers should program their vending machine dispensers to rotate past 360 degrees, like 380 degrees, then go back 20 degrees to a neutral position so that your chips or candy will fall down every time." He comments: Archive: View previous Ideas of the Month.
When I came up with this idea I felt really good about it. I mean, who hasn't been frustrated at a machine when it took your money? This would save vending machines from being kicked or shaken or whatever abuse an angry customer felt like bringing to the machine when it took his/her money. It wouldn't be hard for manufacturers to program their machines to do this or have them rotate this way (unless they want the machine to hold onto your money so you pay for something twice for it to fall down).
Anyway, it makes me very happy to have won best idea of the month. Thanks for everyone's votes!
