Description

The first vending machine was invented in 251 BC, when the Greek mathematician Hero of Alexandria invented a mechanism for Egyptian temples that dispensed holy water after visitors dropped in a coin. In the 1880s, the first modern coin-operated systems were introduced to London and New York City, but it wasn’t until 1907 that the best vending machine of all came into existence -- the gumball machine!

Throughout the years, these machines have evolved into many shapes and sizes, but the most important characteristic hasn’t changed: they always dispense round, delicious, chewy gumballs! This fun, metal spiral gumball bank stands three feet tall, with a clear plastic globe through which to view the gumball selection, and a clear base to watch as the round candy rolls down colorful plastic spirals! As they say, getting there is half the fun -- well, so is watching traveling gum!
