SUMMARIES:
Pez is a name that is as iconic as it is short. There are few candies that are as easily recognized or as well known as Pez. However, very few English speaking people actually know what the name Pez means, or rather, where it comes from.
People of all ages are familiar with the general shape and function of Pez dispensers, even if they've never actually used one. The candy is housed in a plastic stacking mechanism that has the Pez logo on each side.
Pez is a candy that is mostly marketed to children (or the child in all of us), which is obvious based on their flavor and the characters that typically reside at the top of modern Pez dispensers.
When you grow up with a candy that is as omnipresent and as delicious as Pez, you can't really imagine a world in which kids grew up without this delicious candy. So it may come as a surprise that Pez only came to the United States in 1953.
There are countless examples of something that was HUGE with one generation having trouble staying popular with the following generations. Candy is no exception. Pez has seemingly bucked that trend thus far, which is probably due to the combination of their delicious taste and also the huge demand for new Pez dispensers.
Despite its Austrian origins, Pez the candy is actually headquartered in the United States (in Orange, Connecticut to be precise). The actual dispensers (and some of the candy) are still made in Austria as well as Slovenia and China.
A big part of Pez's popularity and bottomline is the large and active collecting community that snaps up everything Pez from the new dispensers to the original tin cases, "regulars" or advertisements both in English and it's original German.
A recent study showed that more American's fear Clowns than Climate Change. Being a clown these days is definitely tough thanks to movies like It and that growing irrational fear of adults who paint their faces in an attempt to bring joy to the world.
One of the more popular and consistent items sold on the world's largest auction site, eBay, is, in fact, Pezand Pez dispensers, Pez Drops, Pez mint cases and Pez advertisements.
While the news that Santa Claus is the best selling Pez dispenser of alltime might come as a surprise, it actually makes a lot of sense as it's one of the few Pez dispensers that is released or rereleased every single year.
