Gumballs Review and Giveaway

Do you remember when you were allowed a quarter to get a gumball out of the machine when you were a child? I know I do. That chewy, sweet and flavorful gum was always desired when at the grocery store or drug store. I used to love the gumball machines that lit up or had a spiral inside. It's time to delight your inner child with the joys of yesterday!



Gumballs was created so that everyone could have access to the same high quality, low cost gumball and vending supplies that helped them grow to the size they are today. Many different types of exciting gumball and candy machines are offered for sale on the website. Imagine the excitement your child will have when you present them with a gumball machine as a Christmas or birthday present! They will absolutely love it. It would also be equally as great when used at a birthday party.

I was sent a Junior Carousel Machine Gift Set. The machine came with two lbs of gumballs, enough to fill the machine up twice. I enjoyed looking at all of the beautiful colors of the gumballs. What I liked best about the machine was that it had that old time, vintage-y feel that I enjoy. The machine looked like it was straight out of a 1920's candy shop!



The machine is quality crafted and built to last. The combination of the vibrant red and bold silver together is classic and aesthetically pleasing. The Junior Carousel is a smaller version of the classic gumball machine that set the standard for bubble gum machines when they were first introduced in the 1920's - almost 90 years ago! The machine comes put together. It was easy to fill and in no time the glass globe was filled with every color variety of gumballs. I knew I had to try one immediately!

The machine dispenses gumballs with any coin, but can be easily set to work without money. I set it to work without coins and enjoyed a blue gumball that tasted just like I remembered! The gumball came out with ease and did not get stuck inside, and I had no issues twisting the knob either. A great feature of the machine is that you can also use it as a bank. This would be a wonderful opportunity to teach your child about saving money. Have them save their coins inside the bank and be rewarded with a gumball! The coins can be retrieved when the machine is full.

Once the machine is empty, you can fill it with nuts, or any other small candy. Use it to serve some sweet treats at your next party!

The Junior Carousel would be a perfect prsent for an elderly relative to remember the candy shops of their youth. The memories they will revisit will certainly be fun for them!
