Abstract:

The candy dispensing novelty item is a transparent, tubular container having an eyeball-shaped dispensing cap at a first end, a furry head piece and a cotton pompom necklace at a second end, and a shoulder strap and whistle. The shoulder strap passes through holes in the container and through the dispensing cap sleeve so as to secure the cap in a manner analogous to a tether or a leash. That is, each end of the shoulder strap terminates with a bead that is larger than the holes in the container and cap sleeve through which the strap passes. The dispensing cap has a ring-shaped exterior lip to halt the insertion of the cap sleeve into the first end of the container. Numerals representing the sports jersey of a favorite player may also be provided on top of the furry head piece. As a safety feature, the eyeball-shaped figure on the dispensing cap is reflective and serves to warn vehicles in a parking lot of oncoming pedestrian sports fans. The furry head piece may come in a variety of colors so as to match the colors of virtually any sports team.
