I'm sorry, the announcement calling it a Gumball Machine bugs me.. ^^, The machines that give out prizes like that are called Gasha or Gashapons (Gacha Machines here in my area) Gumball Machines have.. GUMBALLS.. that kill your jaw... x-x omg those evil gumballs...


But yea.. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW ADDICTIVE THOSE THINGS ARE D:<!!! Why would you do this to me Staff?!

Now give me all your Silver Coins to feed my Gashapon Addiction >->,

[mdom]

I THOUGHT YOU HAD A GASHAPON
y u lie 2 me

[Quiet Man Cometh]

No! My silver coins! All for me!

I totally had a thing for these machines when I was a kid, especially ones that spat out stickers or sticky hands. Or balls of goo.

[Glitch]

Don't blame me I called it a gacha machine D:

[Potironette]

My favorite things from those machines, was always the little capsule everything was kept in. I dubbed them anything from "item lottery" to "gacha ball things" to "that thing which has random stuff in it."

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I still call them gumball machines. Even though only one of eight actually had gumballs in them.

I see this corgi around and I want one! Corgi corgi corgi.

[Den]

I frickin' love Gashapon! The capsules are adorable, and sometimes the prizes are incredibly cute. :3

[Pinkie]

Hey now I want the coins too!!! I even dug out my laptop that I never use anymore just for this....dont be greedy and keep them all to yourself!!!

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Gashapon is weird to me! But then, 'blind bags' are weird to me, too. We always just called them "grab bags."

[Pinkie]

Same here grab bags or mystery bags here

[Tiva]

Hey for all you know there are gumballs in the machine too!

[Tohopekaliga]

The page itself is called a Gachapon, you'll notice. :P

[trystan830]

i've always called it a gumball machine... whether it had gumballs in it or not. =)

[Tiva]

Southern thing maybe? Cause vending machines are the ones with Coke in them while gumball machines are the turny ones. I never heard of Gacha machines til…. about 2 months ago

[trystan830]

tiva, i never heard of a Gacha machine until .... ten minutes ago? XD

[Kaderin Triste]

I honestly had never called them gachapon. Didn't even know that gachapon was a real thing until I saw it used outside of one of my other sites....
I just called them toy or sticker machines if they didn't have gum. (Still do really.)
