Works great for a lot of different candies. Jelly Belly "Belly flops" still work despite the weird shapes, Almond M&Ms work great. Peanut M&Ms kinda get stuck though, but I'm not really into those.
I bought this to resolve 3 issues I was running into at work:
1. was that people were contributing to the candy jar on my desk by just pouring in whatever they wanted, and when I had plain M&Ms in the jar and somebody added Reese's Pieces, a war almost broke out. We managed to keep it together, but decided it was time to find a new solution when...
2. Somebody decided to dig his hand to the bottom of the jar and sift through the candy (letting them fall through his fingers) until he'd found the kind he liked. This was all happening right in the middle of the ebola "stuff", so the benefits of good personal hygiene (as well as the drawbacks of bad personal hygiene) were all pretty fresh in our minds.
3. People were actually keeping track of how much candy each of us were eating because it was getting out of control. People were having to try to limit themselves, and pouring candy out of a jar isn't the best way to limit your intake.
This little beauty solved all 3 problems. It allowed people to control the portions as they were able to do quick little pumps into their hand, it prevented people from digging their hotdog fingers into the candy as the sections are too small to fit a grown-man's hand in...especially grown men who never learned to wash their hands after using the bathroom. Also, it allowed for people to have different candy options without having to mix it up. Some days you need salty, some sweet, some chocolate, some fruity...we might need to buy another one...
UPDATE:
This doesn't seem to do too well with Peanut M&Ms. I don't know if there's something about the size/shape, but it keeps getting clogged and ultimately crushes M&Ms creating a crumbled mess in your hand. Works fine with Almond, Peanut Butter, Pretzel and Milk Chocolate M&Ms...but for some reason, Peanut just doesn't work out.
Also works great with Jelly Belly Belly Flops despite their odd shapes.

Love Note Dispenser!
I decided to buy this as a gift for my boyfriend. I've purchased message pills ( pill capsules with rolled up paper inside) and writing reasons why I love him on them. In the past I always just put these in a jar and he could grab a handful, but the idea of using a candy dispenser seemed more unique. 50 Pcs Message in a Bottle Capsule Letter Cute Love Friendship Color Pill Gift(sends randomly)The dispenser has three sections as described, with a divider that doesn't seem to be removable. Keep this in mind for messy candy like chocolate if this is near sunlight. The top of the candy dispenser simple pops off, no screwing on/off required. Which I think is good but be mindful of picking it up from the top. Each section has it's own "mouth" that you can pull down to dispense candy. The mouth dispenses a satisfactory amount of candy but be mindful of smaller candies like nerds as these can create a pour effect if the mouth is held open too long.The dispenser is on a rotating lazy Susan so you can simply swivel it to the desired candy instead of having to turn the whole unit around. There was no unusual plastic smell upon it's arrival, which is good and won't affect the taste of the candy. I recommend a quick wipe down before putting candy inside.
