1. Fruit Machine

   Fruit Machine is the second official single released by Salford band The Ting Tings in 2007. The single was limited to a 500-copy run. The vinyl was only available for fans of The Ting Tings to buy at their live shows. Every single released had different cover art. This is because at every concert, a hundred blank seven-inch sleeves were pinned to a wall, making a canvas on which fans could create an overall piece of artwork that, once dismantled, were used as the sleeves for the singles. The making of the sleeves was also filmed and then shown in real time at each consecutive venue. The song has a short guitar solo by vocalist and guitarist Katie White. Tremolo picking and distortion are used.

1. Fruit machine

   "Fruit machine" is a jocular term for a device developed in Canada that was supposed to be able to identify homosexual people, or "fruits." The subjects were made to view pornography, and the device measured the diameter of the pupils of the eyes, perspiration, and pulse for a supposed erotic response. The fruit machine was employed in Canada in the 1950s and 1960s during a campaign to eliminate all homosexuals from the civil service, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the military. A substantial number of workers did lose their jobs. Although funding for the "fruit machine" project was cut off in the late 1960s, the investigations continued, and the RCMP collected files on over 9,000 suspected homosexuals. The chair was like one from a dentist's office. It had a pulley with a camera going towards the pupils. There was a black box in front of it that showed pictures. The pictures ranged from the mundane to sexually explicit photos of men and women. It had previously been determined that the pupils would dilate in relation to the amount of interest in the picture. This was called the pupillary response test. People were told the machine was to rate stress. After knowledge of its real purpose became widespread, few people volunteered for it.
