Keepin' it real fake, part CXXIII: the Wiimote candy dispenser

According to the reader who sent this our way, this candy dispenser looks "exactly" like a Wiimote, except it fires candy out of the spot where the IR transmitter should be. Apparently the instructions suggest that you "Do not aim at face," so... it's kind of like the real thing.

[Thanks, Timothy]

Keepin' it real AWESOME! I want one!

this came to me when i was reading this
"I take you to the Candy Shop" (50 cent)

[Aguiluz Posted Jul 6th 2008 3:04AM]

It looks so real....

Also, those candy that came with it.... I love those!

@ Ayman

I feel so sorry for your ears at this moment in time

[victorstuber Posted Jul 6th 2008 9:34AM]

not so much fake, but very real, ive seen these things around

[JuliusCaesar108 Posted Jul 6th 2008 2:50PM]

They should get rid of those! I thought it was a real Wiimote that came with free candy :(

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 7th 2008 3:54AM]

They sell them at Fry's Electronics

[aughscreennames Posted Jul 6th 2008 12:38AM]

those wacky sons a bitches

[Wai Posted Jul 6th 2008 12:38AM]

I soooo see this being an eBay scam in the making

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 6th 2008 12:39AM]

Ha I saw them selling these things at Blockbuster!

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 6th 2008 7:24PM]

I saw it at superstore (loblaws)

[drewcp Posted Jul 6th 2008 12:38AM]

This.is.AWESOME!!!

[drummerkyo Posted Jul 6th 2008 12:47AM]

My sister bought me one of those. The candy is not that bad, but the dispenser poorly made, the candy gets stuck all the time.

[fumjum Posted Jul 6th 2008 12:49AM]

I don't see this qualifying as a "Keeping It Real Fake" segment as it seems to be a licensed Nintendo product as noted by the Official Seal of Quality.

[fauxcivility Posted Jul 6th 2008 3:48AM]

That's what I was thinking.

And ironically we have the same name :o

[LinksAwakener Posted Jul 6th 2008 3:33AM]

They actually sold something very similar to these during the N64 days. They had a Mario, Young Link, and Donkey Kong styled after the N64 models under the same name: Klik. I've got all three, and as soon as I find the Wii-mote, will add that to the collection.

[croquembouche11 Posted Jul 6th 2008 1:02AM]

I saw this at a korean market in LA. I finally bought one a week ago.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 6th 2008 1:05AM]

I had one of these a few weeks ago, my little brother bought it from blockbuster or something like that... Half of the candy is like sweet tarts, and the other half looks the same, but it's actually really gross gum. The shooter doesn't shoot very far either.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 7th 2008 7:31PM]

Yeah, I saw it too at a Movie Gallery. I saw that it was officially liscensed so I moved on with my life.

[mailmixer Posted Jul 6th 2008 1:05AM]

It shoots out the RECEIVER. The sensor bar is the tranemitter.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 6th 2008 3:06AM]

that's what i was thinking

[Jobee Posted Jul 6th 2008 1:09AM]

I saw one in a Walgreen and almost bought it.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 6th 2008 1:10AM]

Funny you should mention this, I bought one of these last Sunday on break at work, they have them at Walgreens.

[initialxy Posted Jul 6th 2008 1:14AM]

wonder what the WARNNING says at right bottom corner.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 6th 2008 1:20AM]

looks like it says:

WOW! same answer at the same time! :-)

[Trey Posted Jul 6th 2008 1:27AM]

Choking hazard: Small parts not for children under 5 years

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 6th 2008 1:27AM]

Guess which part is the choking hazard.

[initialxy Posted Jul 6th 2008 9:14AM]

ah! no candy for you kids!

[Garst Posted Jul 6th 2008 1:20AM]

It even comes with fake Smarties! I don't think I'd eat those though.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 6th 2008 1:24AM]

They look more like rockets

[Twitchy Posted Jul 6th 2008 1:27AM]

Here I was getting all excited that PEZ was making a comeback.

[ChrisG88 Posted Jul 6th 2008 1:41AM]

"exactly", except they are about half the size....

[Jaeson DeLeon Posted Jul 6th 2008 1:51AM]

I just got one of those, actually.

The fake Smarties have a PEZ candy texture, and actually taste BETTER. The Smarties gum that comes with it as well...not so much.

It doesn't shoot very far, though.

[Onashi608 Posted Jul 6th 2008 3:24AM]

Better than pez?

You, sir, are a liar.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 6th 2008 1:51AM]

that is hilarious, i need to get me one of those

[Farwest Posted Jul 6th 2008 1:59AM]

HEY! I saw this at Bed Bath & Beyond!

[BeniRose Posted Jul 6th 2008 1:53AM]

Yeah, they have this one stocked and prominently on display at my walgreens as well.

[kevlar Posted Jul 6th 2008 2:04AM]

I saw them at Mac's here in Canada-land if you're looking for one northwards. My friend was kind enough to point them out, and the fact that they do, in fact, appear to be officially licensed.

[XeroCint Posted Jul 6th 2008 2:13AM]

My girl has one of those. She pointed out the power button is on the wrong side.

[fade2blac Posted Jul 6th 2008 6:06AM]

I think your girl is wrong.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 6th 2008 2:14AM]

now if only they had a gatorade-shooting nunchuck...

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 6th 2008 2:25AM]

Well, PEZ had one of those. Lemme see if I still have it. Either I or the pawn shop has (had) it. >.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 6th 2008 2:28AM]

Hah! Found it.... Aw man... its the same thing. But, at least its got PEZ in it!! Lol.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 6th 2008 2:40AM]

I just saw one of these the other day at my Walgreens in NJ.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 6th 2008 2:45AM]

Those have been around forever where I live.

[DeAthWaGer Posted Jul 6th 2008 4:16AM]

It is highly, HIGHLY doubtful that you'd find a Nintendo seal of quality branded item like this in so many stores across the US without it being real. If it weren't, it'd be pulled pretty quick.

Anyone able to read the manufacture name and see where they're from?
