This mini Candy Grabber is like having your very own diet control method on your desktop - now you have to earn your chocolates! Fairground 'Grabbers' seem just so rigged, so avoid spending £2 failing to pick up a desperately sad looking blue rabbit, and fill your very own Candy Grabber with your favourite sweets. Once you've popped one of the tokens in the slot, you have just one minute and fifteen seconds (but who's counting) to manoeuvre your grabber into position using the three levers, grab your candy and release it down the shoot. Truly horrible and yet strangely nostalgic carnival music plays while you desperately try to grab stuff, and gets faster and faster as your time runs out. When you do succeed in liberating your sweets, a motion sensor triggers off some tacky but satisfying applause! In order to stop you cheating, the hole in the top through which you load your sweets is too small for sticky little fingers. Of course if you're really bad at it you could just pick the whole thing up, turn it upside down and shake it, but oh the shame!
