Gumball sizes
Hi all-
Today’s blog post is a little lesson on gumballs. There are at least ten different sizes, so shopping for gumballs and a machine can be pretty confusing. Most gumball machines tell you what size to get, but if not, here’s some help figuring it all out.
Here’s a very helpful chart to explain the different gumball sizes:
The “850 count” is definitely the most common gumball out there. It’s one inch in diameter- just enough to give you a good chew and flavor without a jaw ache to follow. If you have a Carousel Gumball Bank that you got at a garage sale or a gift for your kids’ rooms, you’ll find that those machines dispense gumballs that are < .62″ in diameter- so check out the 8500 count, 5800 count, or most common, the 3650 count. You can get a “Gumball Refill jar” and the whole process is as easy as pie - or chewin’ bubble gum.
As always, feel free to ask questions in the comment box or let me know if this is helpful!
