Whatever makes change levers an ideal chill spot for these amphibians is unclear, but netizens are speculating various reasons.
Some claim that the frogs are attracted to temperatures around the levers, which must be cooler than those on the ground.

Others believe that the frogs are waiting for small bugs drawn to the vending machines as they stay lit at night.

Regardless of an accurate explanation, retrieving change can be challenging when tiny amphibians can’t be bothered.
The rest are simply floored at the strange phenomenon:
“Why do they all love these vending machines so much?”
“Why do they stubbornly stay there and continue resistance to humanity?”
“This requires courage.”
“Maybe pick it up, put it on your palm, lower the lever and put it back?”
“If you wait, will the change automatically come out?”
