Reasonably sealed Trail Mix

[raidencmc]

I got a gumball machine and it is awesome. I don't like candy. I purchased clear plastic containers that can be filled. Just like you see in any regular vending machine. I would not say they have a perfect seal on them. I am not sure what to fill them with. I was thinking trail mix or some sort of nuts. I would imagine that it won't get emptied in a long time. I am not sure how long it will be. So I need something that will last for a long time.

How about almond M&M's? They last a long time, and would probably be just the right size for a vintage gumball machine. Plus, they are more nut than candy. I like them, and I'm not big into candy, either.

What a cool idea! Some ideas:

Fortunes - like fortune cookies
Coins
coupons
Nuts
Dried fruit
snacks like wasabi covered peas or peanuts
corn nuts
Gum
Mints


I have a gumball machine that we have filled with atomic fireballs (hubbys favorite). For a long while it was set to need no coin but a few years ago I changed it up to collect nickels. I've got a quite a tidy sum now

I was thinking chex mix. But I am scared. I'm guessing it will have to last six months or so.

I wouldn't use something like that that can get stale after a while. Janet had some great ideas.
