Maltesers Ad

[angel2003]

There is a maltesers advert where there are two women rolling around the floor with a thing that kind of looks like a spaceship with a malteser floating above it. Does anyone know if you can buy the spaceship looking things?  My sister in law loves that advert and i'd love to get her one for christmas.

It's a battery operated flying saucer tin toy.
It comes with foam plastic balls which it can balance on the jet of air.
I wanted one for my daughter. Found one on eBay many years ago.
Unfortunately, the jet of air isn't powerful enough to float a real malteser.
I think for the advert, they either faked the maltesers with the real foam balls, (easiest solution) or they had a customise toy with a powerful blower.
I briefly considered hacking the toy to add in a faster motor etc but thought better of it!
