No sporting event is complete without some Grade A, courtside snacking — even if it’s an intergalactic basketball game.
Candyrific is launching Looney Tunes-themed, candy-filled toys just in time for the new Space Jam: A New Legacy movie. The novelty candy company is partnering with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Jelly Belly to create Looney Tunes Characters Fans featuring Daffy Duck, Sylvester and Tweety Bird, and Bugs Bunny; a Character Fanimation Fan with an animated LED show that shows off different Looney Tunes characters as the fan spins; a Bugs Bunny Popper that pops candy around inside a clear dome; and a Bugs Bunny Light & Sound Wand featuring flashing lights and a talking Bugs Bunny voice.
The Character Popper is filled with 0.53 ounces of assorted fruit-flavored dextrose candies and the rest of the items are each filled with 0.35 ounces of Jelly Belly jelly beans. They all feature a Space Jam logo on the handle and will roll out in stores this month.
Space Jam: A New Legacy stars NBA player LeBron James as he teams up with Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes to play a high-stakes basketball game against the Goon Squad to release themselves from a virtual outer space. The long-awaited sequel/remake of the 1996 Space Jam movie will premiere on July 16.
