Anyone have any idea as to the calories in a large gumball that you can get out of those candy machines? It's not quite as large as a walnut, but much bigger than a marble.

Seriously? It's a gumball. It's probably not going to make or break you either way.

Well.....some people split hairs over whether to spray Pam on popcorn for one or two seconds. A two-second spray can be too much.

I would say that too but a few can add up - I'm chewing gum like a crazy person right now trying to quit smoking - if I was eating those gum balls it would be hundreds of extra cals!!

Well yes, but there's a difference between sugarless gum and those gumballs. (Although around here you can also get no-sugar-added gumballs, so...IDK.)

....I hope this doesn't sound catty, but holy ****, if I ever get to that point, I hope someone puts me out of my misery.

Sugarless gum, I don't count. Those big sugary gumballs? I would probably count those...off to check the link I have no idea how much they are!

ETA: Wow only 25? If I were to just guess (which is what I usually do nowadays)...I would probably have said 100 just imagining all the sugar, oh well just goes to show how much I know!! haha

If they're only 25 calories I'd be tempted to think you'd burn it off just from all the chewing! lol
