Another thing is occasionally if you just buy a drink, the entire machine will light up like you hit a jackpot. This results in you being able to select a 2nd drink for free.
@@jinpie4312 Damn, you missed out. A sexy maid girl with gigantic tits comes out of the machine to blow you while you drink it, if you just push another button to get it. The next guy must have been really happy!
I was in the Vending machine business for over 25 yrs. Japan is the Mt Olympus (home of the gods) in the VM game. I had the privilege of attending many a conference in Japan. They put us to shame in their ingenuity and attention to detail. It helps that Japanese people LOVE Vending machines. ❤
@@killer1479 Exactly. The instructions are clearly printed next to the lever. People really need to stop saying "hack" about everything they just learn.
Oh my gosh yessss! I wonder if the cold drinks will be cold enough or too cold - depending on if I’m overheating or trying to look after my throat for singing so this is an absolutely brilliant hack! Thank you Pat 🥰
Vending machine in Japan tells the temperature of drinks and it works in "almost any vending machine you see around the city?" Now I ain't no geography expert, but ain't Japan a country and not a city?
July through September are often sunny and very hot and humid in Tokyo. Please be careful of heat stroke (avoid hangovers and caffeine intake) and enjoy sightseeing! 😆😆😆🥰 From Japanese.
Please be careful people. When you see the sun, then its hotter in comparison to the night without the sun. Keep that in mind! If the "sun" looks white in the night, then its in fact the moon what you're seeing!
In America if you walk up to a soda machine, and press the mountain dew button 3 times and press the coin return button twice, and then the mt dew button one more time... NOT A DAMN THING WILL HAPPEN 😂
Not in that order, buuuut….. if you know the corresponding buttons and enter 1-3-2-4-1, you MIGHT just enter Diagnostic/Admin Menu Mode where you can change certain functions…. maybe… possibly… 😉
Fun Fact: This is kind of how technicians enter Diagnotic/Mantenance Mode on Vending Machines where you can also change the price on items and how much of those items are dispensed. You can EVEN get some money through the coin/change return! You just need to know the code or combo of buttons you have to push. I don’t know about Japan, but A LOT of the simple Soda Vending Machines in the US uses code/button order as simple as 1-3-2-4. Now go out there and see if you can figure out which button corresponds with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc… Thanks Pat for pointing this out! 🤣
Watching this hack, I remember a cursed vending machine horror story from a manga. This is unrelated to the hack but if you're interested: There's a vending machine near an elementary school where kids usually buy drinks from during the summer to beat the heat. Rumors spread among the children about a myth of the vending machine where you put in coins in an order (which I don't know of, they never show em) and you can get another drink for free. But the rules is you can only do this for 10 times. Pretty generous right? So a kid figured out the order of the coin and did this about 5 times. When his friends found out, they warned him not to to do it anymore or something bad is gonna happen. Ignorant and stubborn, he did it for the 6th time but instead of cold drinks, the machine spit out hot corn soup. This pissed off the kid. He kicked the and hit the machine over and over and keep on using the coin myth cuz he's not getting what he want, not knowing he already used the myth 10 times. For the 11th time he did it, a clump of hair came out instead of drinks. Guess what? Lil brat got sucked in the machine and never seen again. This is probably not a legend, just a story from a manga I read when I was a kid. Sorry if things doesn't make sense since I don't remember every detail
I am so great that Japanese engineers came up with this ingenious way to waste even more of my time by turning a 5 second purchase into a 5 minute interaction.
Even though I am Japanese born and raised in Tokyo, I didn’t know that at all!
Either am I,
Neither did I!
Maybe because you're a bad Japanese
@@toolsmith4003yes we know that you're dumb. No need to tell that everybody

Wtff this has happened to me but I never knew I could've gotten another drink for free

It's a lot easier for vending machine owners to invest in nicer machines when people never hit or shake them.
@@jinhandavis9064........OR break into them!
I swear Pat will never run out of content about Japan. Never.
I thought she will teach us how to get free drinks through that machine😂😂😂
Blue is cold and red is hot it’s pretty self explanatory
and pretty much all vending machines have this function, so it is hardly a hack either
@@killer1479 Exactly. The instructions are clearly printed next to the lever. People really need to stop saying "hack" about everything they just learn.

Wow, a little Sissy
I’m going to Tokyo for the first time next month and I like my drinks ICE cold so thank you for this tip! ❤
Same! Can’t wait
as someone who is very specific about how cold my drinks are, this would be super helpful :)
Yeah, me too, I need my drinks to be exactly 12.765 C

Thank you so much for this great information😮

Thats a lot thermometers in there lol

@@mitchjr77 Such a good thing for us that the manufacturer manuals for those machines are online so you can check how to reset them and change prices
It's amazing what you can learn simply by reading the vending machine. Seriously, the instructions are right next to the lever.
Not everyone can read Japanese
Seriously? is it written in english coz i can't read japanese writings😦
That's incredible information!
I was always unsure about which coffee was iced or hot in the morning.
red is hot and blue is cold..
Pat always entertain us with Japan I love it!!!❤❤❤
i just thought she was going to teach us how to “steal” from a vending machine 💀
I live in Nagoya. I’m going to try this tomorrow! Thank you so much for teaching me this!
And ?
And?
How do you figure out these hacks?

Me thinking it was something to do with getting something for free 😅
That vending machine is like a rocket ship dashboard
My hack is to punch the glass on the machine and get the drink for free.
My favourite "Hack I will never use"
I always stop at the vending if i go there
Good to know 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
...kewl!
BTW...I recommend the cans of Nectar on the top row :P
My anime brain is like oh this scene should be added in Reincarnated as vending machine anime 😂
Japanese vending machines are so extreme. I loved them while visiting. So many cold and hot types of drinks! :)
Omg i love those ito en teas so much
Every single drink literally has a small sign underneath that says whether its a cold or warm drink... Absolutely useless "hack"
I can guarantee you in America those out door vending machine will be broken in without consequences.
Vending Machine in japan is god damn expensive, but their hot drinks is god send when it comes to cold weather while I'm traveling to japan
they're really not..
I did this and the machine opened and led to a bar/restaurant 😂 super useful tho I love the hot drinks
That is actually a really handy feature
better life hack: break glass get free stuff.

As someone who has been using Japanese vending machines my whole life, I never knew this until today
Wish I knew this before. Ordered a can of chocolate milk, it ended up being a can of hot cocoa!
All the best for your small and big success in your future.
That's one minute we'll spent not that I have any plans on coming to Japan
when you were reborn as a vending machine and now a bunch of people are pulling your levers down 😢
Heey😁
How're you doing😊
Long time fan here🥰
Quick question.....have you ever been to Austria😅
Noted. I'm going to Kanto area next 😊 lemme try 😂 arigato
Push two buttons at the same time hoping that two cans will fall down 😂
You clearly missed the point of what a "hack" is.
This is wholesome level ❤
I remember 25 years ago when I had carrot juice from a vending machine and also later cold coffee
I miss my seventeen ice cream vending machine.
I imagine that’s how vendors set the temperature for the drinks stocked in the vending machines. 😂
so how to revert it back? let it time out or hold down again?
that’s actually so cool
Good thing I have no plans of going to Japan mostly because learning another language is too hard for me
I love the vending machine when an arm goes sideways and you can take it
ps love the japanese customs plus love cherry blossom and beautiful dress ,forget word of japanese dress but so beautiful.😊
Thos are same vending machines in Yakuza games
Blue cold drinks, orange hot drinks...
That is a cool hack... I am just 10 steps away from a vending machine here but I need to sleep now 😂 I ll try it tomorrow IA
I was expecting a real life hack😅😅
wish uk had lot of them as so handy.😊
the instruction unclear, it opened portal and right now, I am in isekai
I got a Japanese vending machine hack, you smash the glass and grab everything inside.
that a hack? my hack is getting a lockpick to open the damn vending machine and taking a free drink
Are QR code payment getting readily available on Japanese vending machine?
I was thinking she gonna rob it
That is so cool good to know thanks😊
I am so great that Japanese engineers came up with this ingenious way to waste even more of my time by turning a 5 second purchase into a 5 minute interaction.
The most useful hack ever
👉 How do you know if the machine is telling you the temperature of the drink or if it's telling you how many of a particular drink is stocked??
Later, the vending machine don’t. 😂
That's cool until you realize the only type of celcius you know is a carbonated energy drink.
Ill take the buy 1 get 1 hack when you tilt the machine as its dropping one or even kick it to make them all come out😂
Is that for all vending machines or just the one where you tried it. I’m living in Japan so o want to try it!
Pat, with all due respect, your finger look like a blacksmith finger and i laugh so hard
The only reason why i want to visit Japan
Me taking notes eventhough I will never ever be anywhere near a Japanese vending machine 🧑🏫🤭
Or just look at the label at the drink, blue is cold, red is heated
Wahaha we don’t do that here in japan 😂..
I thought the hack would be how to get a drink for free.
That's interesting. I thought it was going to be how to get a free drink hack
Some of them start a slot machine and you can win a free drink.
I'm glad this didn't turn out to be how to steal from vending machines. Even if sometimes the machines eat my money.
This also works for some Chinese and Hong Kong vending machines by the way!
This is so helpful
I can sleep less dumb tonight
I think She tells us how to get free drinks 😂
oh wow that's cool, had no idea!
If my dad didn't have money I will never care because I just want him to live and stay healthy and same with mom
54, why is the temp so high?
Aww man, we could've used that one. I did learn after that hot drinks are marked red and cold drinks are blue.
and the sky js blue
You know if you look the drinks that have red or fire behind it are hot or the drinks with blue behind it are cold on the vending machine
Will it work with machines in other countries?
I love little stuff like that. If I’m able to go to Japan, I’ll remember that.
No you dont
?
That’s gonna be nice if you want a hot coffee or a cold can of coffee ngl
she owns a vending machine😂
Here's a hack; breathing fresh air without a stupid paper cone on your mouth is perfectly safe. Enjoy!
Came for the confused Americans wondering why the drinks aren't frozen solid😂
