A Toy Machine I Could Never Master

Candy Machine

Does everyone remember the toy “claw” machine? The ones that seemed to be at every arcade, carnival, and fun center? You put your quarter or fifty-cents in, and the machine gave you about 30 seconds to manuveur the claw into place to try and grab a cheap stuffed animal, except the darn claw was too weak to grab anything!? I think the claw would stroke the stuff animals more often than grab them.

Well guest what? Now you can bring that fun and enjoyment home, with the Candy Grabber. I don’t know anyone who would want to have to try and win their own candy at home, but maybe it’d be nice to have for kicks. What if you get frustrated? Just turn the darn thing upside down and let all the candy out!

    razi, you’re not alone. you have no clue how much i spent trying to get toys out of those type of machines. if i hadn’t spent so much money on stuff like that, i’d probably be at least a hundred bucks richer

    After Halloween, that candy dispenser might be a good container to give you candy if you’re study for an exam :P or a test. The only problem if you stick vegetables or fruits, might get rotten in a few days. LOL

    my sister and i would work together to get those damn stuffed animals. i would work the controls and she’d run around the machine telling me i was too close or too far. teamwork!

    Yea these things are hard. I seem to do better with candy than I do stuffed animals.

    I’ve practiced a lot on those toy machines when I was little. Got some experience now, hehe. Won a teddybear for my girlfriend two weeks ago and today I got two candies, a set of minicards and something I can only perceive to be some kind of a wallet.. in one grab!

    went to circus circus the other time with the wife.
    we spent like $50 at the machines and came away with 8 stuffed toys.

    we had a blast and those toys are still around the house.

    the fact that i’m typing this now, shows that we sure got our $50 worth of memories.
