Rustinm Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hello, I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on what kind and where to get good adult gum, what i mean by adult gum is like eclipse gum or something, not the pure sugar lasts for 10 seconds kind of gum. I have a location that would like gum just not double bubble sugar gum. Is eclipse cheap and where do you get it at>?>? thanks Rustinm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith Vending Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Dentyne Ice is great but very expensive, you really need to limit the vend. They need to lower the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polecat Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 It's been awhile since I've commented here so thought I'd clarify: Dentyne Ice usually runs in the 7.5 to 8 cent range per vend, depending on quantity and shipping. That's a similar cost to many candy products on the market and about 4 cents less then peanut M&M's, depending on vend quantity. You're right, you do need to manage the vend quantity to 2-pieces, which is a single serving of this type of product. Even at 8 cents, your still close to a 70% gross profit margin, which is pretty competitive for such a premium branded, healthy product with little to no "branded" competition.

cavity Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Are the Certs a "sugar free" product as well? If not, how many calories? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Is there any gumball-shaped adult gum? I'm doubting DubbleBubble will do well in an adult oriented place and I don't want to use 3 candy wheels (1800s come with 1 gumball/2 candy wheels). Maybe I'm wrong on how well DubbleBubble does with adults though? I was looking at 'gourmet flavored gumballs' for those types of locations too. (http://www.candymachines.com/Gourmet-Flavored-Gumballs-C3.aspx) I would think those would sell better with adults than DubbleBubble. They're still cheaper than Dentyne Ice at 5.6 cents/gumball including shipping (probably cheaper if you can get them from a store). Has anyone tried these?

joebob051977 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Ford Carousel gum, that you can get at Quill, is better tasting than the Dubble Bubble. Adults like traditional gumballs too. I switched over to that since I wanted a gum that would do better in adult oriented places too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurtsman Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Gumballs are frequently a shot in the dark in adult locations. Due to the profit margin, it is worth trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
