gumball
Coin-operated treat
A gumball is a small, round piece of chewing gum with a hard candy shell, typically brightly colored and sold from coin-operated dispensers.
The machines themselves are often called gumball machines: She put a quarter in the gumball machine.
Gumballs are associated with childhood and often appear in nostalgic contexts.
