Dentyne Ice Updates

[adkarr24]

I was looking for some info on Dentyne Ice, but most of the posts I found were at least a year old or older. Are people still having success with vending Dentyne Ice? I read some posts that the machines/stands had issues, but product wise, is it still worth it? Also, other than super pro, is there anyone else selling the gum in bulk? I couldn't find anything online. Advice, Opinions, Ideas are much appreciated!!

There is a reason why no one has talked about it for a year - the product is a dud in a bulk machine!  You also need a special machine/wheel to vend it.  Many products that sell well in a retail environment (like M&M plain for example), do not sell well in a bulk machine - and DI is one of them.  You are better off vending gumballs in a standard machine.

Like Kelly I have 1 machine, it does about $5 a month plus 2 slugs. I placed this one as a favor (60 miles one way)  in a larger apartment complex right outside their fitness center. Thought it would do better. I only service once every 6 months, I told the manager if she wanted to keep it she would need to call me when it was low. She agreed and has actually called. MY ONE & ONLY FOREVER.

Thanks for the insight, I too thought they would have done better.

I vend DI in capsules in NW 60 machines.  I have about four locations.  They each do well.

T Bird, are the DI machines you have on location singles, or part of a double, triple or rack?
