Airheads' underwater vending machine launches chewy treats at pool party guests in exchange for their silliest antics. Are you down to clown for some fruity fun?
Pool Parties Just Got Chewier
If you were one of those kids who spent summers belly-flopping into swimming pools, you're gonna love Airheads' latest creation. The candy marketing masterminds have cooked up a pool-ready vending machine that launches chewy fruity treats right into the gobs of your pool party guests.
Airheads' Aquatic Fun Machine
Airheads is on a mission to get you swimming again in the weirdest way. They have created a fully waterproof, depth-rated vending machine that trades submerged water stunts for sugary treats. The machine lives IN your pool. Wait did he say IN the pool? Did I stutter? Yup - down in the depths like Davy Jones' locker. Think of it like a funmarine. The bulky gizmo sits at the deep end of your pool, and here's the best part: it asks you to do things like have an underwater dance party or do some aquatic acrobatics and If you accomplish the task the gadget launches some Airheads at'cha - don't worry, they're wrapped. We don't think chlorine-covered candy would have all that great a mouth feel.
Why Would I Want an Underwater Airheads Dispenser?
According to Airheads, somewhere along the voyage through life, a good three-quarters of adults forget how much fun it is to swim and eschew the practice altogether. Their goal here is to get you doggy-paddling back into some swimmin' shenanigans. Imagine it folks - you're hosting the neighborhood pool party, and your funcle John is doing handstands in the pool when suddenly he's pelted by a watermelon Airhead launched from this nautical party monster. Hilarity ensues as sugar-craving swimmers desperately jump into the water and try to appease the doohickey by doing their best underwater Riverdance impressions, and fun is had by all! According to Craig Cuchra, VP of Marketing at Perfetti Van Melle, "Our Underwater Vending Machine is sure to get adults excited about jumping back in the pool and re-living the carefree long summer days. So many people have nostalgic memories of savoring Airheads at the pool on a hot day and we want to bring this feeling back, and with a fun twist."
Hefty Price Tag
This sounds great, but here's the kicker - the contraption costs $7000, and it's a limited run. We love us some Airheads, but $7000? That's a big chunk of change for a summer novelty item. It also come with a lifetime supply of Airheads so you'll never be out of this stretchy, chewy, gooey, tangy, taffy treat. It does not come with dental insurance though, so as with everything we suggest consuming in moderation. We don't want water-time horseplay to become a session in a dentist's chair replacing a crown, now do we?
The machine is available in limited supply and will be on sale starting this Memorial Day weekend. So, who needs a Hawaiian vacation this year? Pshaw we say! Whip out that AmEx Gold and build a little water park in your pool this Summer. We guarantee it will make you the most popular house on the block.
