# Extraterrestrial Candy Containers The Aliens PEZ Dispenser is Horrifying Unless You Love Sci-Fi By Michael Hines | Published 2010-08-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aliens-pez-dispenser References: [thatsnerdalicious](http://thatsnerdalicious.com/candy/aliens-pez-dispenser-makes-a-lot-of-sense/) & [toycutter](http://www.toycutter.com/2010/08/alien-pez-dispenser.html) Science fiction and horror movie fans, get your candy kicks with the Aliens PEZ Dispenser. This custom PEZ dispenser is designed almost exactly after the aliens in the iconic 80’s movie of the same name. The only reason anyone ever even eats PEZ is because of the cool dispensers. The Aliens PEZ Dispenser is the coolest of them all. The detail here is truly incredible. This dispenser was designed by Peter “Rat D” Davidson and is currently a one-off project. I want a mass release. The world needs this, and it needs it now. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Custom Collectible Dispensers:** Create custom-designed dispensers based on popular movies or pop culture icons to attract fans and collectors. - **Movie-themed Merchandise:** Develop unique merchandise, like candy containers, that tie into popular movies or franchises to tap into a passionate fanbase. - **Nostalgic Pop Culture Items:** Recreate classic toys or products with a nostalgic twist to appeal to consumers seeking sentimental and retro experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Candy and Confectionery:** Innovate by collaborating with movie studios or licensing popular characters to create themed candy containers, enhancing the product appeal. - **Movie and Entertainment Merchandise:** Explore partnerships with candy retailers to develop exclusive and collectible candy containers inspired by beloved movies or cult classics. - **Retro and Nostalgia Products:** Target consumers who crave nostalgic experiences by producing retro-style candy containers featuring iconic pop culture characters or designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cubic Video Game Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pez-minecraft-collection.md) - [Collectible Cartoon Candy Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pez-products.md) - [Filmic Cartoon Candy Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pez-despicable-me-4.md) - [Collectible Candy Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney100-collectible-candy-dispensers.md) - [Candy Collector Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airheads-decoy-boy.md) - [Cinematic Candy Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/character-candy-cases.md) - [Space-Themed Jawbreaker Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comet-crusher-jawbreaker.md) - [Interstellar-Inspired Cannabis Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alienthemed-august-box.md) - [Product-Inspired Halloween Looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-and-elladoesfx.md)
