I've never seen furry PEZ dispensers before and this keyring version was a must buy. Perhaps I can give this as a present for my wife after the article is done. Girls seem to have a soft spot for something like this. :)

Parts

Plastic on this model is thinner so it is easier to force the mechanism out from the casing. Same goes for the head too as it was really easy to pull out. This particular PEZ is a PEZ Mini dispenser so it is shorter as those regular ones. Just make sure your USB Memory Stick isn't overly long and can fit inside the body of the dispenser.

Thinner USB Stick

The whole body of this memory stick even with the casing is thinner than the Soyo stick that I used with The Incredibles version, there is no need to take it apart. Just dremel the top part of the stick flat and use good amount of grazy glue or hot glue and you are done. Naturally this is not the case with every memory stick as there are so many different shapes and sizes available. But as you can see, with a drive that has small dimensions you can avoid all the hard work. It is also a lot safer as you avoid the physical contact with the PCB of the memory stick thus preventing possible static discharges that might ruin the drive.

Working

Up and running. Every file stored to the drive are still there so everything worked as planned.
