Hmmm, I thought the TSA key(s) would make this list

Is this true? If so, wow that's insecure. Someone could easily sneak in some actually good snacks for reasonable prices! Even better then stealing

It's not just vending machines. It's everywhere.

Very long, but well done talk on the topic: https://youtu.be/ZUvGfuLlZus?si=nr4Wa_XMxr8woq-P

Generally good to just watch every video Deviant has ever made, at least his con talks.

If you are from Europe, especially German-speaking countries: So called Buntbartschlüssel (literal translation: colorful beard keys) are very popular for older buildings and garden sheds as well as for interior doors in residential buildings.

There are around 70 different types with you being able to spot which one is need by just looking inside the keyhole, there are handy charts for this purpose.

Our vending machine was so old ( and kept outside) that the hinges rusted right out and the door was just hanging there by a bit of the top hinge. So the key was irrelevant. Just thought I'd mention that

I've seen people pick those kinds of locks with the end of a pen they chewed on for a while.
