8500 Gum Balls - Pros and Cons

[T BIRD]

I had a case of 8500 gum balls delivered the other day.  At first when I started this business, I would see them in competitor's machines and not think of it as a great idea as far as vending them.  Then I got to thinking that they can be vended like candy thru a candy wheel so the customer is getting a hand full of them.  And they look pleasing and colorful in the cannister.  So I want to try them. I know the profit wont be as high as a single gum ball, but besides that what other pros and cons are there about this size gum?

They definitely stay fresher longer - that's a real pro.

I can't get them to sell near as well as a 1" gumball though. I was really surprised. Some locations though insist on small gum so kids don't get choked - this is a great product to use.

For some reason, Chickles seem to outsell them for me. Maybe your area will be different.

Good luck,

Mark
