Vending machine candy refers to individually packaged confections typically dispensed from automated machines. The history of vending machines dates back to ancient times, but coin-operated candy dispensers became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, offering convenient access to sweets. These candies are often chosen for their durability, long shelf life, and single-serving format. Popular examples include classic chocolate bars like Bottle Caps Candy, consistently a top seller, and colorful Sour Mike & Ike candy.
