Around 2002, Cartoon Network and Airheads held a sweepstakes where the grand prize winner would get an AirBot (a remote-controlled robot that also doubled as an Airheads candy dispenser) either from a 6-pack of Airheads or on the Cartoon Network website.
There was also an ad for the sweepstakes with Dexter (of Dexter's Lab fame) showing off his AirBot invention on some sort of robot-themed talk show, except it's gone missing (the robot, not the ad): youtube.com/watch?v=729-GPHD8SY&si=PZLASlg76HkeOuRj
And now I've been wondering about where the AirBot is nowadays, and if the grand prize winner from 2002 still has it.
Interesting, I’m curious to know what this Airbot was actually like in real life because when they’d show it in the commercial the fine print at the bottom said “actual prize may vary.”
