Worried about sticky toddlers
rubbing their grubby mitts on your cola bottles, gummy bears and jelly babies
before you get your eager hands on them? Well, fear no more.
The first ever pick and mix
vending machine has arrived, which is specially designed to accommodate all
hard and soft penny sweets. This sweet tooth dream factory may soon be popping
up in shopping centres, bowling alleys and modern leisure centres near you.
Pure Novelty teamed up with the
largest suppliers of Pic n Mix in Europe, CandyKing UK Ltd, to create
the vending machines, which are innovated to store retro sweets in air-tight cabinets.
The sweets are kept in a hygienic environment that will keep your fried eggs
fresh and stops them from going hard (boiled).
Whether you fancy a soft shrimp,
juicy strawberry or sour cherry the machine will randomly mix and supply your
favourite confectionary of choice at a touch of a button. Just pop £2 into the
machine, wait 30 seconds and tuck in to candy heaven.
