ABSTRACT:
A check-operated dispenser machine of hot snack stuffs includes a globe which in use contains a snack stuff such as for sake of an example, peanuts or other comparable nut or seed meats. The globe rests on a stand. The stand is modified from what is conventional in prior art gumball banks or other prior art check-operated dispensing machines of candies or novelties in that, such a prior art machine is modified to include a heat source. Most simply the heat source is configured as a low-wattage incandescent lamp bulb. The lamp warms the snack stuff contents in the globe. The dispensing machine has a conventional check- (eg., coin-) operated dispensing mechanism which allows a patron to serve him or herself and get a measured amount, such as about a hand-full, of such a snack stuff as say hot peanuts.
