Very similar to me but I sell more starwberry pancils than Tutti Fruiti.
I also do M&Ms, Maestros, Toblerone, Gourmet Jelly Beans (great seller) chocolate raisins, flashing toys, jelly and fizzy mix, Salysol cashews and salted nuts.
I think every line I do has at least one site where I have to put 2 rows in. I went to a paint sprayer today, re stocked another 6 rows of 6 skittles and just stuck 3 others in with long dates cos I know they wont sell. Do you self pack squashies, never tried them.

They have to be the gourmet jelly beans. Standard ones are rubbish.

I tried Gourmet Jelly Beans a while ago also and found they generally sold really badly, I think they are one of those Marmite type products where people either love them or hate them, I had a couple of sites where they sold quite well but the majority almost no-one bought them. Although they are one of the more expensive lines they're actually not a bad deal for the customer, I looked at the price of a jar in Tesco once and they are crazy expensive.

tubz vending have just launched bubblegum bon bons which I have to admit taste really good! I am currently trialing them so will let you know how they go

If I were to fill a machine up in an average site the products I would chose are

Blue Bon Bons
Moams
Skittles
Jelly Mix
Rolos
Smarties
Squashies
Strawberry Pencils
Assorted Pencils

I think this is a good mix of branded and non branded products in the machine. You need to be careful about putting too may branded products in any one machine as your profit margins will drop quite a bit

cheers

I just wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations/good sales from any of the newer products on the market now in pots like Millions, Fizzy Sharks, Chupa Chups, Tongue Painters etc. I know the suppliers list their top sellers but it's always good to hear from people's personal experience. It make sense to put new products in your towers from time to time and we can help each other by giving feedback on sales as it can give us all ideas for new stuff to try so please take a minute to list your best sellers (in order if you know it).

For me it's:

Blue Raspberry Bon Bons
Maoam Mix
Skittles
Fizzy Magic Carpets
Mini Eggs
Smarties
Tutti Frutti Bottles
Squashies
Toblerone

The only 'new' thing I've tried recently was Fizzy Watermelon and they haven't done great so they didn't make the list

Mine are exactly the same as yours Quinch, only I use Chupa Chups instead of Tutti Frutis. Haven't tried the Millions yet, might try next order....
