These machines remind me of walking to school, everyday I would meet up with my friends outside the local shop "Jacks" and from there we would walk down to the school. There would be nearly 100 people there every morning.

I always remember the very odd time you would put your money in, turn the handle the gum would drop and the handle would spring back, to your surprise the coin would still be there! That was always a good day.

It was a simpler time... LOL Now I sound like an old man!
