The Jelly Belly Gumball Machine: Your $25 Retirement Plan…or Not
By admin | June 2, 2008
There’s a store in the mall here (and probably every other mall in the country) that sells a delicious assortment of candy and jelly beans. every time I go, I end up spending $30 on Jelly Belly Jelly Beans that will then sit on my coffee table until guests finish them off. The downsides? I’m spending $30 on Jelly Belly Beans on a fairly regular basis, and I have to get run over by kids in skate shoes every time I go to the mall to get them.
Luckily, the nice folks at the Popcorn Factory have come up with a solution to both problems. They sell a coin-operated Jelly Belly Machine that will let me recoup my investment, keep my jelly beans fresh, and avoid the mall all at the same time.
Time: The Jelly Belly Gumball Machine-Enhanced Future
Place: My Living Room
As my free-loading friends come over for the first time since the Jelly Belly Machine, they’re mesmerized. “What a cute machine!” they say. “Wow, now your overpriced jelly beans will be fresh,” they say. Graciously, I thank them.
As a friend tries to turn the knob, the expression on his face changes. “Wait, there’s a coin slot on this thing.”
“Yes,” I nod.
“Do we actually have to PAY for our jelly beans??”
I nod again. As he fishes around in his pockets for spare change, I think to myself, “Thanks, Jelly Belly Machine. I’m going to be rich.”
