The Atari VCS Wireless Classic Joystick

I dig these metal Pac-Man Ghost candy tins because they retain the rippled flow across the bottom on each container.

NES Controller Mints

This candy box, replicating the look of the classic Nintendo NES controller, is full of mints. If you like mints or need to get rid of stank-breath, these might do the trick.

Nintendo Mushroom Candy Container
