Would you eat a fifty year old gumball?

For a mere ten cents, you can tell me how it is. If it's that great, you can take the antique home for $45.

I found this Toy N' Joy gumball machine at an antique store downtown, and I really wanted to know how long those candies might have been in there. I googled it, and I come to find out this machine was around during the 1950's, meaning these gumballs might be...aged. Not in a good way, like cheese or wine.

What I want to know is what color were these gumballs were originally? Maybe blue.

Ew, nasty. Sometimes I find gum in my purse and chew it and then I realize it's old because it basically decomposes and sticks to my teeth and lips. I wonder what would happen if I ate one of these? I'm tempted but not going to try.
