«©NCSX» Have a hankering for old school non-ergonomic joysticks? Steady your gaze at the upcoming Atari Controller Gum Tin which is shaped like the original Atari joystick which pops open to reveal a gang of mints. When we get our joystick, we'll throw away the mints or give them out on Halloween but keep the tin.

Disney Characters Pop Candy

Chupa Chups are a brand of lollipop which are wrapped with a distinctive wax wrapper. Sega's Disney-branded lollipops look like Chupa Chups but feature wrappers that depict various Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, and Stitch.

Looking over the product photo, we're guessing the green Mickey lollipop tastes like a sour apple, the pink Minnie lollipop is bubblegum flavor, and the yellow Winnie the Pooh tastes of creamy banana. Five flavors will be available and preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late August 2007.
