Candy Cane Specifications:
• Small decorative candy canes (4-6 inches)
• Clearly identifiable stripe patterns (thick vs thin white stripes)
• Bold colors: RED, GREEN, BLUE, YELLOW
• Materials: Plastic/resin (not edible, durable for 30 shows)
• Tags must remain attached throughout event run
Critical: Stripe pattern (thick vs thin) is the key differentiator for duplicate colors. Authorization Key #2 and #5 use different stripe patterns (thin vs thick) - stripe pattern determines which button mode to activate. Ensure candy canes visually match the stripe indicators on these tags.
