Neon Color Gumballs Gumballs are a ball of gum coated with a hard candy.  They are often dispensed from a Gumball Machine.  The origin of gumballs can be traced back to the Mayans; they chewed a sap called “Chicle” as early as the 3rd century AD.   Gumballs have come a long way since then.  At Candymachines.com you can purchase many colors, many flavors and styles of Gumballs in all different sizes and amounts.  My most favorite Gumball is the basic White Gumball, it is always soft, sweet and chewy.  Gumballs seem to hit the spot when I’m looking for something to quench my sweet tooth …

Old Columbia Gumball Bank - Click Here To Buy! I just love the look of the Old Columbia Gumball Machine Bank. It’s a replica from the 1920’s and I think it’s a perfect gift for any man, so that’s what I’m getting my dad for his birthday. He’s a rather “old fashioned” man, so this antique look will suit his taste. Being made of all metal and glass, I know he will appreciate the quality. He’ll get a kick out the real locking padlock and key, plus the old style coin slide. My dad loves Boston Baked Beans and I was told by the gal at candymachines.com (where I found it on sale) that candy w …
