I got a Pikachu phone charm today. :love: It's cool. I got it from one of those machine thingies....y'know...you put a quid in, twist the twisty thing, and the prize comes out?
Yeah, well, I got a Pikachu! I was hoping to get one, and it worked! Yey!
Two things:
1) What are those "machine thingies....y'know...you put a quid in, twist the twisty thing, and the prize comes out?" actually called?
2) What's the coolest thing you've ever gotten from one?

I once bought 20 bouncing balls in one day.
I then proceded to bounce them everywhere. It was awesome.

I used to wrap paper around pennies to make a twenty pence piece, it worked once and two powerballs came out.

Dunno what they're called, but we have one at the cinema foyer, and another in the mall.
I remember one time I got a plastic watch type thing with silver balls in it. It wasn't a working watch, but a little mini puzzle maze thing. It was ages ago, so I'm surprised I remember it. I think it was actually 10p. One of the old chunky ones.
Maan, I'm oooooold... :eep:

2) Fake vomit.
I always give into those things whenever I go bowling. The ones with the sweeties inside them! I'll end up paying 20p for like 6 minstrels. xD
...but they look so good in those machines. :(

I saw a pokemon yesterday when I was catching pokemon. I wanted to weaken it (it was a lvl3 to my level 10 pidgie) but I killed it by mistake! D:
I was sad so I kept farming crap there until I finally saw it again! (took me like 15 of the longest minutes ever) Yay I now have
A pikachu!

We call them 'Crap for a quarter' here. And I love them. I've never gotten anything actually amazing from them, but I do like the candy ones and the ones that have jewelry <3
I WANT A PIKACHU PHONE CHARM.
I like getting the sticky hands from them.

I used to be obsessed about collecting the little rubber balls they had :shifty: colourful and shiny and prettyyy
But the best thing I guess would be gum. I love gum

Looks like I've spent the last 18 years missing out on the unquestionable awesomeness of phone charms. brb, suicide
There is one of those machines in an arcade down the road from me that has a PSP, a car alarm system and several mobile phones in it.
I suspect it's a clever scam where you only get the boxes if you win, because they're clearly empty.

I'm very unlucky in Gachapon. The machine eats my tokens ;__; I never get anything.
