Candy maker Airheads said many adults experience Airheads as kids during summer break at the pool. But times have changed as we grow up. It is said that 73% of adults swam more when they were kids. So Airheads is on a mission to make grown people take the plunge into the pools again with the first-of-its-kind underwater vending machine.
This summer, Airheads is debuting a Candy-launching Underwater Vending Machine For Pools that dispenses Airheads while submerged in a pool. The vending machine is specially designed to be completely waterproof in depths of up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) and since gravity is non-existent underwater, it uses an air propulsion system to launch candy out of the machine.
(Pool) users do not have to surrender coins or wet bills to get the candy. Instead, a screen will ask users to do something fun like do a flip in exchange for Airheads bars. You can see the underwater vending machine in action in the video embedded below. This vending machine is not just for adults. Anyone capable of swimming and holding their breath for a reasonable amount of time can enjoy free Airheads bars.
If you have a pool and have the desire to get folks, young and old alike, into the water, Airheads is ready to sell you an Airheads Underwater Vending Machine for US$7,000— while supplies last. The purchase of the one-of-its-kind vending machine includes a lifetime supply of Airheads. Sales for the machines will open on Memorial Day (May 27, 2024)—which is the official start of “pool season”. For more information, you may visit AirheadsSummer.com.
