ABSTRACT:
A product merchandiser stores a plurality of products, dispenses products one at a time and produces a sound when a product is dispensed. The product merchandiser may include a housing, a track, a door and a structure that produces sound. The housing has a proximal opening. The track may be disposed within the housing and directs products towards the proximal opening of the housing. The door is disposed near the proximal opening of the housing. The door pivotally connects to the housing and is movable from a first position to at least a second position. When the door is in its first position, a product is held at least partially within the housing. When the door is in its second position, a product is removable from the housing. The sound-producing structure produces a sound when the door is moved between its first position and its second position.
