Man in Dublin made over €100 putting a bottle into the machine and using a string to pull it back out. If word of this spreads are they going to need a redesign?

Mrs was away for the weekend so decided to save all cans, bottles, etc since Wednesday.

Between myself and the 3 kids, we'd 2 big bags. A big effort by the kids not to crush them, put them in bag carefully, etc 

Drove to dunnes especially to get rid of them. The kids were disappointed with a whole 5 euro 70 cent to be split between the 3 of them and having to bring back nearly 1 bag of cans that didn't scan.

Won't be in a rush to do it again

A buddy of mine works in a big IT campus.The studentsls aren't too bothered with recycling of their cans and bottles. Some of the canteen staff are colecting them and making 100 quid a week to spend in Aldi.

666 bottles a week is to be applauded. And Rafa Benitez is to be applauded.

The small bottles of fruit shoots that kids drink are too light, and the lid is heavier so it always tilts so they get refused. If they haven't been fully finished and there's dregs at the bottom the weight will keep it from tilting.
The caps are impossible to remove so i was trying to put water back into them which was taking forever, and then discovered if you squeezed an empty bottle into a glass of water it would suck up enough water.
I was a little bit too happy when I discovered this.
