Pez For The Beginner Or The Pro
PEZ is the shortened name of PEZ Candy Inc. It is also the name of two of its product categories, namely:
- pressed, dry candies, straight-edged and shaped like 3/8-inch- (1-cm-) long bricks, and
- pocket mechanical dispensers for such candy. (holds 12 pieces of pez candy)
The name PEZ was derived from the German word for peppermint, Pfefferminz, the first PEZ flavour. PEZ was originally introduced in Austria, later exported, notably to the U.S., and eventually became available worldwide. The all-upper-case spelling of PEZ echoes the trademark's style of type on packaging and the dispensers themselves, drawn in perspective and looking as if the letters were built out of 44 brick-like PEZ candies (14 bricks in the P and 15 in both the E and Z).
Despite the world-wide recognition of the PEZ dispenser, the company considers itself to be primarily a candy company, producing over 3 billion candy bricks each year in the U.S. alone. PEZ Dispensers are part of popular culture in many nations. Because of the large number of dispenser designs over the years, PEZ dispensers are collected by enthusiasts.

- I haven't eaten this candy in years or seen one of the dispensers, but I remember many of my classmates were really into collecting these. That PEZ Collection pictured here is amazing.

- Just wanted to share my latest find! Was at a garage sale Friday and found a good sized box full of new (in the package) pez. When I asked how much, they said .50 cents each. I asked how much for the whole box and after some hemming and hawing, the lady said $5.
I grabed them at that price and when I got home I discovered that my $5 had gotten me 138 pks of Pez.
I did get quite a few doubles but that's ok as I'll be looking for other collectors to trade with.
