Abstract
A candy holding device designed to add amusement to a child's candy. The device comprises a main housing which can be in the form of a full or partial body or skeleton or any form desired, hard plastic balls, a male pivot point, a female pivot slot, an anchor pin, a hollow noisemaker, an expandable stick holder, a slide groove, a candy stick and a candy. The upper portion of the main housing has a hollow noisemaker with a slide groove. The candy and candy stick are held stationary by the expandable stick holder which attaches to the top of the male pivot point and secured by the anchor pin. The main housing has extensions which hold the hard plastic balls on each side of the hollow noisemaker. By holding the main housing and shaking from side to side, sounds are produced by bouncing the hollow noisemaker against the hard plastic balls via the male pivot point. The slide groove serves two functions, one to allow the sound to travel out of the top of the noisemaker and the other is to allow the head to move from side to side while the candy remains stationary. Another version is to have the hollow noisemaker and the candy and candy stick holder move as one unit from side to side against the hard plastic balls via the male pivot point to produce sounds. The hollow noisemaker has an aperture to allow the sounds to travel outward. The candy can be replaceable or molded onto a nipple.
