As you slide your last nickle into the coin slot you take a deep breath and then pull the handle. The old machine shudders a bit before the wheels begin to spin and whir. You close your eyes, cross your fingers and say a silent prayer. The first wheel stops abruptly, revealing a cherry. A second cherry joins the first one and you feel your heart quicken in nervous anticipation. Time seems to slow down as the last wheel grinds to a halt. At first you can't believe it, but there it is, clear as day – a third cherry! As you jump from your seat hollering “great googly moogly!” the machine starts to release a steady stream of gumballs. Congratulations, you just won the jackpot! Each 3–1/4" x 2–1/2" x 3/4" (8.3 cm x 6.4 cm x 1.9 cm) tin contains about twenty-two, cherry flavored gumballs.
