Pez Candy Is Pretty Terrible, But These Discounted Animal Crossing Dispensers Are Cute

Most people who buy Pez candy probably aren’t thinking about the flavor of the little brick tablets much at all (none taste very good). Pez is all about the iconic plastic dispensers featuring characters from popular media franchises. Pez Dispensers have become collectibles since first debuting in the US in the 1950s (the candy itself is nearly 100 years old). There aren’t very many Pez Dispensers themed around video game franchises, but if you’re an Animal Crossing fan, Amazon has a limited-time deal on a 12-pack featuring Tom Nook, K.K. Slider, and Isabelle Pez Dispensers. So if you need party favors for an Animal Crossing-themed birthday party, check out this Amazon deal before it’s gone.

This 12-pack includes a random mix of Animal Crossing Pez dispensers. They’re all individually wrapped, so you can pass them out as gifts or horde them all for yourself. Each one also comes with two candy refills, just in case you actually like the taste of Pez.

Once you’re done snacking, the dispensers make a nice addition to your home office or game room. You might also consider keeping a few duplicates wrapped and tucked away, as you never know when items like this will become a collector’s item.
