Dubble Bubble Pinball Machine Gum Dispenser


It’s the little pinball machine that rewards you with bubble gum! The Dubble Bubble Pinball Machine Gum Dispenser features flashing lights and pinball arcade sounds for a realistic pinball experience (except smaller, and with candy, and at your house instead of a strip mall in suburbia). Kids of all ages will love getting their gumball reward. All you need to do is hit the pink bumper and a gumball is released from the big chamber on top, through the machine, into your hand and then into your hangry pie hole.

It doesn’t use gumballs on the playing surface but a stainless steel silver ball. Stand like a statue, hit the bumpers, keep the ball in play, keep your wrists supple, play by sense of smell, get those crazy flipper fingers ready so you too can be a gumball wizard. Includes a starter supply of gum. There doesn’t have to be a trick. Just a treat.

It’s effective, lightweight, and easily accessible whether it’s in your pocket or on your keychain!

Just Mobile talks about working with Apple and why it manufactures in Taiwan exclusively

Just Mobile talks about Apple product certification, previews its AluRack, AluBase and HeadStand

For the average Joe that have managed to stay out of the Apple circle, the Just Mobile brand might not immediately ring a bell, but chances are you would've come across one of its peripheral designs at some point. The only problem is unless you knew the company in the first place, you'd easily assume that the aluminum or even plastic knock-offs are just based on generic designs, because there are simply too many of them. It's no wonder Just Mobile co-founders Nils Gustafsson and Erich Huang take imitations of all forms very personally (especially the ones they and their lawyers see at CES), but fortunately, we were spared from prolonged ranting when we visited the duo's office in Taichung, Taiwan recently. What we were treated to instead was an insight into how an accessory maker works with Apple and why Just Mobile manufactures exclusively in Taiwan, as well as getting a preview of the upcoming AluRack, HeadStand and AluBase that are due out this month.

Zombie Head Gumball Machine Makes You Crave Brains

This gumball machine is pretty gross since it is made out of what looks like a real human head. You have to really want a gumball bad to get one from this machine.

How would you like to be the guy chosen for this project? You are just living your life, minding your own business. You have a good life, but then you die. You are looking forward to a little rest in peace. And then somebody goes and makes your head into a gumball machine. That’s gotta be one of the worst insults that can befall anyone.

Well, if there is an afterlife, maybe this guy will come back and mess with the person who created this crazy thing, giving them some payback. It’s pretty cool, but I don’t need gum that bad.

(P.S. This is NOT made from a real human head – it’s actually a sculpture by Thomas Kuebler, but that doesn’t make it any less creepy.)

Gumball Machine Dress Lets You Walk And Dispense Gum at the Same Time

I’m a sucker for anything that’s interactive, from books and posters to shoes and dresses. By “interactive,” I mean it adds an extra dimension or comes incorporated with a certain element based on the inspiration behind its design. Take this gumball machine dress, for example.

Bubblegum machine dressCurrently available from Coyote Peyote’s shop on Etsy, the dress features neon gumball beads all over the bottom, while a number of them are sewn into a clear plastic material near the middle of the dress.

It’s a fun dress, although I don’t think I’m daring enough to wear it out myself. What would make it even cooler than it is right now is if the gumball machine could actually dispense real gumballs somehow to anyone who wants one (well, anyone you know.) Now wouldn’t that be something?

The Bubblegum Machine Dress is available in sizes XS to XL for $135(USD).
