For today’s post in our month-long CountdownToHalloween<\/a>, I thought I’d pull a few of my more monsterrific bubblegum vending machine insert cards to showcase.\u00a0 At least one of them might come off a bit more silly than spooky, but I still think they’re appropriate for a Halloween post.\u00a0 So make the jump and get an eyeful of this fun trio of spooky vintage bubblegum vending insert cards from the 60’s and 70’s!<\/p>\n

In previous posts on this very site, I’ve touched upon the fun world of confectionery vending machine insert cards:\u00a0 An early general post on them<\/a>, my collection of vintage Just Born vending insert cards<\/a>, as well as a colorful assortment of Leaf promotional photos<\/a> that each featured their own vending insert cards.<\/p>\n

The trio I’ll be showing today are also from the Leaf company, which isn’t a surprise as during the 1960’s and 1970’s, Leaf practically owned the bubblegum vending trade.\u00a0 Here they are:<\/p>\n

\"Leaf

Leaf – House of Horrors – bubble gum vending insert card – 1960’s 1970’s<\/p><\/div>\n

Doesn’t that House of Horrors guy have a sort of green-skinned Edgar Allan Poe look about him?<\/p>\n

\"Leaf

Leaf – Monster Balls – 1-cent bubble gum vending insert card – 1964<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Leaf

Leaf – Vampire – 1-cent bubble gum vending insert card – 1960’s 1970’s<\/p><\/div>\n

I think all three of those are pretty darned cool.\u00a0 I really dig vintage vending machine insert cards with the monster-themed examples being especially appealing to my tastes.<\/p>\n

And that’s everything for today’s entry in our CountdownToHalloween.\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n
