This stuff was so good back in the day, does anyone else remember it?

Or when you would press one flavor and receive another. It happened all the time.

When we ran the pop and candy machines in school, we would mix up the gum all the time. Mystery gum. Never know what flavor you would get.

Speaking of candy machines at school. I remember when a bunch of us rocked it and got a bunch of free stuff. I also remember the one had a rubber gasket seal around the door and we bent a coat hanger and ran it behind the seal and knocked a bunch of free stuff out. One last thing a kid brought in some 'slugs', basically metal plus that were the same size/shape as quarters (this is back before tech came out to beat these) and we got so much free stuff. Good days.

This was a fun game but it was so easy to win the Rumble match. Could just throw em against the ropes and toss them over the top at will.
