Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a small room, inside a large, locked safe. No testing on SCP-XXXX should take place unless authorized by personnel with Level 4 clearance or higher. Should the need arise for any personnel to enter SCP-XXXX's containment chamber outside of testing, only those with Level 3 security clearance or higher will be allowed only personnel who have previously seen
SCP-XXXX before will be allowed to enter, and no more than one person at a time may enter. Any gumballs created by SCP-XXXX are to be disposed of via incineration immediately, and are to be handled with gloves to avoid possible contamination.

All attempts to reach the gumballs inside SCP-XXXX have proven unsuccessful, as the machine seems to show high endurance against any physical damage.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a standard red gumball machine, in appearance containing several colored gumballs. Upon anyone seeing SCP-XXXX, whether it be human or an animal, a gumball will be dispensed. Upon chewing the gumball, multiple subjects report it tasting like something they had wanted, or their favorite kind of flavor. Tastes include soda, alcohol, cookies, and other different flavors. Other subjects claim the taste to be horrible, tasteless, or unusual. Gumball flavors are not unique to edible or drinkable items, nor are anomalous effects limited to taste only. Subjects claim the gumballs to taste exactly like the specified flavor, even feeling the same in texture.

Addendum XXXX-01: Subject D-0350189 was allowed into SCP-XXXX's containment chamber. SCP-XXXX immediately dispensed a small brown gumball. Upon putting it in his mouth, D-0350180 acted shocked, claiming it tasted exactly like hot chocolate. When D-0350189 was allowed into the containment chamber again later, the gumball dispensed by SCP-# reportedly tasted normal. No further attempts to get SCP-XXXX's usual anomalous effect to trigger by
D-0350189 were successful.

Conclusion: SCP-XXXX will only dispense unique, anomalous gumballs once per person.

Addendum XXXX-02: D-428149 was allowed to access SCP-XXXX. After a few seconds, the subject appeared to have vanished entirely. He was later found days later wandering around a city, and was recaptured.

Addendum XXXX-03: Another Class-D was sent into SCP-XXXX's containment chamber for further testing. Moments after entering, multiple personnel around the facility died, with no cause of death able to be identified. Those who died seemingly all had come into contact with said Class-D previously.

Addendum XXXX-04: A subject was introduced to SCP-XXXX. When the subject put the gumball in his mouth, he collapsed onto the floor dead moments later.

Addendum XXXX-05: A researcher viewed the monitor displaying SCP-XXXX on camera. A gumball dispensed, which, upon impact with the floor, caused a small explosion. Fortunately, the explosion was small enough to not do any severe damage to SCP-XXXX or its containment chamber. When questioned, the researcher claimed to be simply daydreaming when the event occurred. No other personnel are to be allowed to view SCP-XXXX via camera or direct eyesight unless they have previously viewed it before to prevent further incident from occurring.

Addendum XXXX-06: An ant somehow managed to get into SCP-XXXX's containment chamber. A gumball was created. Thousands of ants poured out of it and onto the floor. Afterwards, all ants inside were exterminated and removed from SCP-XXXX's containment area.

Addendum XXXX-07: All cameras were removed from SCP-XXXX's containment chamber to prevent further incident. While cameras were being removed, someone or something must've somehow seen SCP-XXXX, as a gray gumball dropped out of the machine. It grew four short tentacle-like appendages and started crawling all over the walls. It opened a large crack in the ceiling, and escaped. Eventually, it was found in the break room, attempting to devour an entire pizza. (This failed, as the creature had no mouth to speak of.) After noticing it had been spotted, the creature opened a gap in another wall, getting away before it could be captured. It has not been seen since, and could possibly still be roaming the facility. Whether the creature is lethal or not is unclear. Testing on SCP-XXXX was discontinued indefinitely that day.
