What is it about the human psyche that makes candy taste better if it comes out of a plastic animal? I've never figured that out, and I've gone through several Pez dispensers - and that's as an adult.

There is something cool about flipping back Homer Simpson's head and having a little sugar wafer come out of his throat. It's somehow very satisfying.

Loading the things is a lot of fun, too. I once had a co-worker who had never heard of Pez. It made me sad. So sad, in fact, that I was going to buy him one, but for some reason they had all been sold.

This isn't about a Pez dispenser, though, oh no. It's something a bit more … interesting. It should appeal to the same sort who likes Pez dispensers and to other sorts as well. Those who like fart jokes a lot should find this little guy intensely funny.

It's a little wind-up penguin. After you wind him up, he waddles around flapping his wings. Innocent enough, right? Well, before you wind him up and let him go, you're supposed to load him with candy. Just flip back the head and put the candies in.

These are special candies - and they don't come out of the neck.

These are tiny little chocolate balls. It's a disgusting little toy, and if I had children I would buy one for each of them. Maybe I should buy penguins for other people's children.

He comes with .7 ounces of candy poop. Just wind him up, put him on the dining room table, and let him go free. I'd see if I couldn't get refills first, if I were you. If there are any kids in the house, they will likely want demonstration after demonstration after demonstration. You know how kids are.
