Why are newspapers,but not soft drinks, sold in vending machines that allow customers to take more units that they paid for?

I think to answer this question we need to understand who buys soft drinks and who buys newspapers. Newspapers usually contain new information, so when u read the newspaper, u don't need to get this information from another newspaper again. What about soft drinks? When you drink one, you may probably want to have another one!Or u may have 2 of them but leave one in the fridge and drink it afterwards! So the point is that you do not need to have two copies of one newspaper but u may need 2 bottles of the same drink!

(Probably i'm inclined to believe that this is working only in England...For example in Russia, there will be many people who will just take all newspapers and sell in nearby with half-price.

You should make this site into English.

Also, to use your time more productively you should visit here:

and seriously consider the course advertised and the finance competition.

Or, of course, just spend two years playing pool...
