The investigators at Braniac have figured out the secret to a sure win at the crane game every time. Apparently, there’s a control box inside each of these machines that determine the chance of payout. If you have the patience and more importantly the time, to stand near the machine and watch it all day, you can figure out the winning payout pattern.

I think I’ll just stick with buying the candy grabber featured back in November.

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!
