AMD Snacks Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I have a location with PMM M&I and RP, I think they're getting tired of em, can't have gum and it's in a busy break room, any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F J Vending Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 looking to replace all 3? Ive never had a location get tired of PMM i would suggest skittles, runts or hot tamales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMD Snacks Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 I suggested plain mm and runts but no one agreed.... It's for a restaurant break room and these kids love their sugar highs, maybe I should just switch it up regardless of what they say? I've worked in a place and understand what's it's like to get tired of the same selection, even if you like it... Where do you get pacifiers parrot?Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotthead Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Sams, I love them. I never thought I would. I always ask my niece what she likes and that is what she came up with after skittles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zjtaylor Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'm phasing out PMM and RP. I would try tamales, Skittles, regular MM. I might even downsize to a double head depending on sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuikVend Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Depending on the age range, skittles tend to do pretty well with teenagers. Runts are hit or miss for me and hot tamales I only have 1 or 2 locations that actually sell it decently, but if you're already carrying those, it couldnt hurt to try. Pacifiers sounds like a good option too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMD Snacks Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'm checking out the pacifiers...Do they get chalky on your hands? I also see some cotton candy thing from double bubble...Anyone try those?Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the national operators. No RP and 50c PMM. The plan this year is to totally phase out my few RP locations. I may keep PMM and candy in bars. But eventually I will only be doing high margin. Gumballs, Runts, toys, Skittles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMD Snacks Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 I would do that if it sold for me, national guys have more high traffic areas and longer routes, I figure they can't do chocolate because it would go badSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that isn't coated usually will have a "dust" that will accumulate in the bottom of the machine and can also cause a dusty appearance in the globe. I also had issues during the warmer months with the candy becoming spotted (look like they have had water flicked on them") due to humidity. Obviously people have success with them but just wanted to share my experience using them. I won't run anything that isn't coated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never caught on for me so they would sit longer and I think that contributed to the problem. The dust was a bigger issue for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuikVend Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I had a case of spree thrown into my route deal. The few locations I've resulted them at, they've done well. I think last I saw they were $60+ a case. This was actually the first time I was able to try them personally. I like them. They're like Pucker ups, but chewy.
