noved1 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I went to pick up a case of runts today and my candy distributor was trying to push these chewy sprees. He gave me a bag to sample them to see if I liked how they taste. They were pretty good. I would like to know if anybody has ever vended these chewy sprees? If so how well did they do and what type of wheel do you use (for oak machine)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoniocinisi Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I have never sold or ate them,but the word chewy makes me think of a gummed up machine with summer coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noved1 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 They are in the same type of shell as runts and are chewy on the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberframe50 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I have never used these but I see them all the time. One of my kids say they are popular. I'll bet the full time guys use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any issues with the Spree clumping up in the summer time? I eventually want to have just one all-purpose non-chocolate candy for all ages. It's been a race between either Spree or Runts. I was learning towards Runts, but now your post is making me reconsider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivend Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 no problem in the summer..However, the Mike and Ike give me some problems but a little PAM Spray and clumpling solved.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Falcon Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Where is the best place to buy sprees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivend Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I purchase most of my product from a local vending wholesale company in Detroit. Also, I purchase direct from Just Born..Vistar is another wholesaler of candy that has good pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Snacks Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Where is the best place to buy sprees? I have been asking the same question. The best I have found so far is A&A at $65 per case of 7700. So figure about $85 with shipping. So a five piece per vend would render 1540 vends per case or 5.5 cents cost per vend - a bit higher than I would like. Plus not even sure if 5 pieces is a fair vend amount or not. Of course A&A may have a volume discount to get the costs down. Sure wish Quill would stock it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
