gumball machine
Coin-operated candy sphere
A gumball machine is a coin-operated dispenser that releases a single gumball when you insert money and turn a crank.
The transparent globe displays colorful gumballs, and you can't choose which color you get.
The machines are fixtures in grocery store entrances and restaurant lobbies, often a child's first experience with vending: Can I have a quarter for the gumball machine?
