Back in high school, a buddy of mine was trying to start a Pez-based religion. Because, Jesus had 12 disciples, Pez has 12 pieces in a sleeve; Jesus did the miracle of loaves and fishes, Pez is Spanish for "fish;" the Pez dispenser itself produces as if from nothing. I don't remember the rest of the dogma, unfortunately; I'm lapsed.

I know, nobody likes parenting advise or preachy comments from strangers, but you should be careful with that. Using candy as a incentive and reward could have negative consequences down the line. I'm not regurgitating stuff I read in some parenting book, but speak from personal experience, which is why I don't care about being an asshole by puking this diatribe over your shoes. I don't want others to have the issues I had when I was younger. My mother made the mistake of rewarding me for being nice during trips to the mall, by going to McDonalds afterwards. That trained me to associate McDonalds and fast food in general with being rewarded and a sense of accomplishment and made it much more appealing than it would have been otherwise. Then, when I was an adult, I used to "reward" myself by stuffing myself with that crap, eventually got fat from it and have been struggling with that for a long time. At times it pretty much was a past time and a hobby to gorge myself with fatty food from some drive-in. When going to see a movie with friends, I would look forward to eating fast food afterwards more, than I looked forward to the movie. I was lucky that I had a good metabolism and still somehow managed to stay slim through my 20s and early 30s and only past my 35. birthday I actually got fat. Somehow I kicked the habit since, more by just getting sick of it and it losing its luster though, than by force of will and discipline. Others aren't as lucky, of course.

I remember when I first saw a PEZ dispenser. It was in about 1962 when I was 8. Our neighbor was the local candy distributor, and his son, my age, asked me what I thought. I loved it. Don't remember what the "head" on the dispenser looked like, but I really liked the whole concept. I've bought a few of these over the years. And I REALLY like the candy. They're in the same league as Smarties or Sweetarts. My favorite dispenser is a San Francisco Giants dispenser where the "head" is a big baseball with the Giants logo on it.

"they made flavours kids wanted" -- you mean to tell me kids don't want to eat CHLOROPHYLL flavoured candy?!

Pez is very nostalgic for me, the characters on the dispensers, the colors, the sweet and sour flavours, the satisfaction of loading up "a magazine of pez". Too bad I don't have any pez dispensers around anymore.

I remember getting PEZ dispensers in the 1950's as a kid. They cost 25 cents back then and you got the dispenser and two packages of candies.

I’m way late to these comments, but I loved cars as a kid so naturally I loved the semi trucks too. You eat the candy then it’s a toy truck. I think it’s such a creative design for a Pez toy!
