Candies during holidays

 M&M's are not suitable for a Halal diet. We use additives that come from animal products when we're making M&M's and traces of these can be found in the sweets. Jul 21, 2014

Are M&M's halal? - Quora

 A: M&M'S® Milk Chocolate, Peanut, and Peanut Butter in the US are Halal Certified. 

      https://www.amazon.com 

Mostly, M&Ms are kosher. It depends on what facility they are made in. If they are kosher, then there will be a symbol on the label from the certifying agency

 (usually the Orthodox Union - their symbol is a U in a circle (aka 'circle U')  

M&Ms are okay at Christmas. Personalize your M&Ms chocolate or mix the colors of M&M Peanut for a delicious Christmas gift to remember!

 All locations did awesome this month ! 

Thanku to my wonderful stores! 

A couple of them are occasionally very generous and the critters u get to help and I are grateful, thanku! 

  Since I’m servicing the machines or honor boxes on a regular basis as much as possible, all customers see are clean boxes and refilled machines. 

 I’m guessing stores occasionally visit the blog and get to see work done, updates, and availability for communication and questions. 

    Thanku!

For Halloween

Halloween 👻 

   It’s the only other time of year when we get tricks or treats and can laugh at our troubles and have fun. 

So I splurged on my honor boxes with big bags of popcorn balls. 

 I wanted to include a pic of them here but blogger is having a tough time with pics. 

   They’re simple popcorn balls with a sweet tasty glaze, that’s kinda it. Of course I taste-tested a few, and they’re fresh fresh fresh ✔️

It’s still hot!

 

  Okay, its not officially Autumn until October when leaves turn all those beautiful Fall colors during the balmy-cool season of harvest before ice storms start, yay  😕   Weather can be so difficult! 

A package of miniature Kit-Kat bars melted before I could even get them to their honor boxes. Once inside the nice cool stores, they will firm up again. The Hot Tamales are still vending okay, and am keeping an eye on them. 

That’s the latest!

Honor boxes for Halloween

 

 

 Late service went well. I try to service each location every 4-6 weeks. 

A busy, busy month gearing up for the holidays, Halloween candy to be found everywhere! 

  Do honor boxes and Halloween go together? I hope so..!

Sentient

   Ugh, I guess Googel doesn’t host years of pics anymore. 

    Sentient: having the ability to feel or perceive sensations, such as sight, hearing, touch, taste, or smell. 

It can also mean to be consciously aware. The word sentient comes from the Latin verbs sentire, which means ‘to feel’ or ‘to perceive’

No Bonz About It

 

I found a product that I used to fill my candy machines. 

They are essentially SweetTarts coated with an incredibly solid candy coating. 

Have been looking for these for years! These, and the uncoated baby sweet/tart pacifiers, kids loved them! 

I started my first route in college and always got my bulk candy from Javier’s warehouse. He was informal, reluctantly accepted credit cards, and knew all about vending bells and whistles. He carried every tiny thing, including stickers, tattoos, realistic looking jewelry, toys, and of course, gumballs. 

The coated sweettarts lasted forever, vended clean, and adults liked them, too. 

Was astonished to finally see just one style of SweetTarts finally become available in the form of Bonz, they would be perfect for a nearby pet store!

 

Except, customers may mistake them for dog treats! Even tho they are tiny, smaller than an average dog’s front teeth, and dogs certainly couldn’t choke on them, they might not be good for dogs.  

Not only that, there’s already a dog treat called Bonz specifically made for dogs, so the candy could be mistaken for meaty flavors instead of candy flavors. 

Well, phooey, I’ll keep looking…

Blogger blip

 I guess my blog manager has short-circuited again. 

    Not sure how long nor if permanent (?) 

 It seems I can continue to post but pics aren’t uploading correctly, so will keep u posted here. 

    (Some pics decided to upload and 1 came thru, yay! Included here from an awesome Towne Lake) 

           As such, no new news. Okay, a bit of candy news. I’ve changed out a canister of the delicious but overly-delicate jelly beans for the much sturdier Hot Tamales (cinnamon). Am anxious to see how they vend.  

    In the meantime, have an awesome weekend!
