...actually, screw the idea for retro cellphones (from the last entry). My new invention is plastic or rubber skirts that will fit on the bottom of pop machines (to prevent loose change from falling under the machines where it can't be retrieved).
Now at first I thought that this wouldn't fly because the vending companies probably make $ by scooping up the coins below the machine in addition to their regular profit. So they'd resist the addition of my product. But what if there was a huge consumer swell of support for it - so that politicians would be forced to introduce legislation REQUIRING machines to be outfitted with my new device. (MPPS and MPs could use neat phrases like "we will give no quarter to these pilfering soft drink merchants!") As the only distributor ready to meet the new demand, I'd make a killing.
Once I have my inventory ready, I'll expect everyone to lobby their respective governments to finally take action on behalf of the little guy. C'mon, don't you hate it when you loose $ under the machines?

Actually, your invention sounds great. You'd have to market it to the businesses hosting the machines as (at least in the U.S.) the machines are actually the property of the beverage vendor.
I always like it when people invent things. For it seems that noone invents anything these days...well at least nothing worthwhile ...i mean i supose someone invented furbies and turby twists and all the other shitty things you see on infomercials but nothing of great awesome anymore.
