SRC Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I wanted to get some opinions about vending either gumballs or chiclet gum in locations where there will be more adults. From what I read, it seems like gumballs can be popular with adults as well, but what about in locations such as bars and offices? We're trying to figure out what types of machines we want to have as our standards, but know it can change. Right now we have a few doubles of candy and gumballs with A&A PO89 300 machines, doubles of 1 inch capsules and gumballs in Northwestern 60 machines, and a few single NW 60 gumball machines, at least to start out. I'm thinking about getting more A&A candy machines, to vend chiclets, but would we be better off just sticking with gumballs, even in office and bar locations? If we get chiclets, I'm thinking about mint flavored ones, mainly if we get any bar locations, or maybe original pink bubblegum flavor. I'm just having a hard time imagining gumballs in offices and bars, but all of you have the experience with this, I'm hoping you can enlighten me!

Rick Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Chicle gum has always been crap for me. Night and day compared to gumballs. Chicle gum has always been crap for me. Night and day compared to gumballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetstop Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I found that chicle either does very well or crap I keep it in the really good places but am adding more and more gumballs. I have a public works dept garage that does about $40 - $50 a month in chicle. I would say gumballs though your best bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumhead Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 What size - 850? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yeah, I'm looking at vending 850 count gumballs. Looks like we should stick with gumballs. I will need to get some chiclets for the one lone Vendstar I'm planning to put up at my office, so I may try one other place with chiclets just to use the box, but otherwise focus on gumballs. Another question: I know most people say to stay away from Dubble Bubble gum, but is that all kinds of their gum or just the 850 ct assorted? It sounds like the assorted gum does well regardless, but I would like to try some other gum flavors and wondered if I should still just stick to Oak Leaf and Ford gum.
