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.

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.

To match your new Pez collection, check out the Animal Crossing Switch Lite Bundle, which is exclusive to Walmart and on sale for an incredible price. The bundle gets you a turquoise Switch Lite with the franchise's leaf logo pattern on the back and a digital copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Originally sold for $200 last holiday, you can get the bundle for only $159. This is the lowest price we've ever seen for a Switch Lite, bundle or not, at a major retailer.


Lego's recently released line of Animal Crossing building sets expanded this month with two new sets. Most notably, K.K. Slider joined the lineup with an appropriately themed concert set. You can also build the Dodo Airlines Airport. The new additions bring the Lego Animal Crossing series to seven sets total:
