History and Uses For Vending Machines
The very first coin operated vending machine was introduced in the 1880's in London England and would dispense postcards. In 1888, the very first machine of this kind was introduced to the United States by Thomas Adam Gum Company. They were installed on the subway platform in New York City and contained Tutti Fruiti gum. The gumball machines were introduced in 1907. In the early 1920's we had machines that would dispense soda in a cup.
The American inventor, William Rowe had invented the very first machine that would dispense cigarettes. Cigarette vending machines have now been banned in the U.S but still available in other countries although, they will probably be banned all over the world because health campaigners are afraid kids are buying them and getting addicted.
The vending machine is found all over now, from a street corner to amusement parks. Antares, Vendco and Seaga are 3 of the most popular of this kind of machinery. To make them more attractive to children they invented bubble gum machines with bright gum in many sizes. The spiral gum machine has become very popular with children because they get to see their piece of gum go down a spiral shoot before getting to the bottom.
Next we have the machines that you can win a prize, A toy crane will go down and pick up a small prize such as a stuffed animal. If you land the crane in just the right place, the claws will pick it up and dispense through a big hole. Vending machines have evolved into a billion dollar industry. Canned drinks are the top seller of these machines followed by the snack machine.
Companies will pay to put their machines in many areas such as factory's, schools, colleges, and even hospitals. It is up to the owner of the business to decide just how much they want to charge for the product in these machines. Amusement parks really make some big money on these because they usually charge double and more for the same items you will see in the machines in front of a gas station. These type of franchises are very profitable.
