I know you shouldn't use them in the summer but when I pulled them from 2 of my locations they wanted them back. I cautioned them that if they stick just give the machine a good shake but i read somewhere that you could dump them out on a cookie sheet and spray them with non flavored pam. has anyone ever done this?

any advice?
thanks

I haven't done it but i think it would work. I would make it more like a light mist. The last thing you want is people tasting PAM when they toss in a hot tamale! How much do those Mike & Ikes cost anyway? I'm interested in them but I've really never even seen them in bulk.

You can make good profit w/ MI. Try your local Sam's Club. You can request it if they do not have it on the shelves. I did that w/ Reese's Pieces. It is one of my best sellers. They now carry it full time.

Rob - On another note....I am a Univ of South Fla grad.

Yes I pull over $30 a month in my Mike & Ike places. You have to spray them with a LITTLE pam, and let them sit in zip lock bags for 2 days.

Nice, I graduated from UCF in Orlando. I don't have a SAMS card yet but I think I need to get one. I'm basically out of gumballs. The last time I went to SAMS with someone I know but I can't keep hitching rides with other people! I will have to request M&I and Reeses. I have had reeses in several places and they have done good. I like them personally.
