    Rev 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.

    Not ashamed to say I have this...

    It's a goofy candy novelty thing that's all. It's about 2/3 the size of a real wiimote and only the trigger button "works" by shooting candy about 1' and you can only find it in the candy aisle. So despite the official Nintendo seal, nobody buying would mistake this for anything other than a candy dispenser.

    Although I do keep this by my other wiimotes just to confuse friends who see its mini-ness...

    Got mine at Mitsuo in Torrence, CA, USA while passing through.
