None of these will vend in Bulks. You need hard/coated sweets.
I use Jelly Beans £5.35/3kg and Fruit Mentos £7/3kg from Hancocks and minstrels £28.35 6*1.2kg from Parfetts.
Be careful when buying jelly beans though as if they are too sticky they will cause you problems. Make sure the flow freely in the bag.

Cola balls work well where you have high turnover of different people. Ie holiday resort pub, leisure centre. Silver Cola balls can stain clothes I think so you don't want to annoy your regular punters. More regular pubs go for choc beans, minstrels, skittles, plus others mentioned.

Thanks for all who have contributed,

This machine is going into the entrance to a student halls of residence. Maybe a bad idea,maybe a good idea i can but try.

Has anyone had experience at this type of venue, it is home to about 75 students. So it may do ok.
