Gumball machines have been around since 1907 (although the first vending machine was invented in 215 BC in Alexandria, Egypt). They are seen in grocery stores, food courts of malls, candy stores, toy stores, pizza parlors and lots of other places children frequent. Today they are also sold for home use and collected by gumball machine enthusiasts. There are even gumball clubs where you buy a gumball machine and get sent gumballs every month. Manufacturers like the American Gumball Machine Company have many different kinds of gumball dispensers available. A favorite is the spiral gumball machine in which you can watch as the gumball makes its way around as it travels from the globe to your hand. There are spiral gumball machines that are interactive; neon tubes flash and flicker as the gum travels down the spiral route. These come in a variety of bright colors such as purple, yellow and in the popular classic red color. Vintage gumball machines, also called candy vendors, (or food dispensers because some people put other food items in their machines like peanuts) are collected by gumball machine fans all over. Often, these are from around 1920 and are sold online. A favorite is a Columbus model. This one is in the classic red that was so popular back when they first showed up, has a round glass globe, an antique silver door with a star on it and sells the gumballs for one cent each. Gumball machines have also become popular with children. Popular ones for children come in a variety of styles such as a jukebox, a gas dispenser, a rocket ship, a pink dispenser and one that has Scooby Doo sitting on top. Sport fans and NASCAR fans can buy dispensers that come with decals of their favorite teams or drivers. There is even a religious collection. Or consider a gumball machine for your pet; these are food dispensers that actually hold pet treats. Your pet learns to step on a pad to dispense treats just for them. Gumball machines are fun for everyone. With all the styles that are available today, you can find one that suits just about anyone.
