LITTLE VILLAGE — There's no debate: People like smacking around presidential piñatas.

Dulcelandia, the Mexican sweets shop at 3253 W. 26th St., is selling Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton lookalike piñatas this election season, and they're a hit.

"They're both moving pretty fast, but the male piñata is moving a little faster," said Eve Rodriguez Montoya, vice president of brand strategy at Dulcelandia.

Montoya said customers were flocking to the shop, which sells piñatas in all shapes and sizes year-round, asking for election themed items. So the family-owned candy store reached out to a Mexican artisan, and voila, presidential candidate piñatas were born.

They're selling for $12.99 while supplies last.
