Licorice Dispenser

Let’s be honest: who doesn’t like candy. You don’t? But you like movies, right?

Ever wondered how lucky you would be if you had easy access to candy, that too from the comfort of your driving seat? And you would be even luckier if the candy dispenser was based on one of the most popular comedy movies of the 90’s (yes, I’m talking about Wayne’s world you lucky son of a gun).

The design idea for this product was simple: we had seen the movie and we liked candies, dare I say more? We referenced the original candy dispenser from the video and analyzed its design, finding multiple flaws which we then worked on to fix. We also added extra features to the dispenser such as a plastic knife to make it easier to snip off a piece of the candy without having to use both hands.

We also worked on optimizing the dispenser, as an example, we added a support rod in the middle of the dispenser to prevent the top cover from falling under the weight of the candy. To prevent moisture from entering the dispenser, the dispenser hole was kept very small and clips were added behind it to prevent the candy from falling in the dispenser. The external design was also optimized not only for aesthetics but for ergonomics as well. Mounting tabs were added to make it easier to mount the dispenser (either on the roof or on the head rest of the passenger seat).
