Political Poopers
My Favorite Candy Co., Los Angeles

Anyone worried that the presidential candidates are full of crap can now take solace in the fact that they’re right — at least as far as the candy likenesses of the two rivals are concerned. Political Poopers are made to look like either Mitt Romney or Barack Obama and when you wind them up, they “poop” out real candy. No matter what happens on election day, anyone who owns these two collectible dispensers will win. My Favorite Candy Co., also makes a variety of other poopers, including their best seller Funny Bunny Windup Jelly Bean Dispenser and the very popular Zoo Poopers. And, look for Sport Poopers in November!
S.R.P.: $7.99
