There is little more boring than feeding a hundred pop cans into the return machine, one at a time. Even if your local supermarket has one of the dump-type machines, you then have to stand there while the machine reads the cans one by one.
To make the process a little more entertaining, I propose
can return machines be made with clear paneling and a reconfigured design, so that once the barcode is read, you can watch your can slide into place and get violently crushed flat before it is ejected into the bin. In the case of a bottle, smashed into bits. Perhaps the machine could be made to involve a boxing glove filled with lead shot, or a giant fake foot, as the instrument of destruction.

Then they will no longer be visible, of course. |

Polly values old apple skins? |

If there was a spinning slightly inclined cylinder with a hole at the far end bottom inside the counting machine the cans or bottles would align themselves after being dumped en masse into the open end of the cylinder and the whole feeding process would be mechanized. |
