dperry Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I saw this picture today of an ebay auction. The gumball machine had a lable on it that would show your fortune for the day depending on what color gumball you recieved. I may make up my own set of cards and add them to some of my gumball machines. Couldn't hurt and it looks like it makes an interesting twist that nobody seems to be doing in my neck of the woods. Maybe the label fairy can make some kewl looking lables and add them to the picture library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-man422 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Darryl, outstanding find! Thank you for sharing this because I have a few locations that need some spice. I cant wait to try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurtsman Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 My gumballs couldn't be moving any slower. It's an interesting idea. Since I've got some in an autoshop I think it would be a fun twist to have the colors be "red - your transmission is failing" "blue your air conditioner is broken" "white - you didn't need the power train flush" etc, but I'm not sure the autoshop would think my humor was as funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how about the tattoo shop. Red-Get the celtic knot, Blue-Unicorn on the shoulder blade, Green-Tramp Stamp, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer980 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 We may need to touch up the graphic if it prints the web site so it is real obivious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dperry Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 lol! You know how hard it is to find some graphics of Fortune Tellers? I didn't want to buy the graphic of course but if you can find one that you like better, I can insert it into the doc and use it instead. For those of you who would like the doc that I used, PM me and I'll shoot it out to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer980 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I will work on retouching it maybe on Thursday. I bet it is hard. Did you try to look on ebay for the graphic? I will try to see what I can dig up. I see that some people use a graphic in the readings area of the metaphysical section. Most use a picture but I use a graphic for my picture.

dperry Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 I had called up SSM Vending to get a price list, and I ended up talking to them about the possibility of creating a professional display card for the Daily Fortune. I sent in the doc that I created and they sent back a draft of their version. It's pretty awesome. I'm trying to get them to make and sell the displays.

JPVendCo. Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 can you make all of them say "unclear-try again" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dperry Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 LOL! that would be a good way to maximize sales. Or fill it full of blue ones. That should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
