Fun Facts

In 1927, PEZ was created by Eduard Haas III in Vienna, Austria and was marketed as a breath mint for adults.     The name PEZ comes from the German word for peppermint, pfefferminz. The first, middle, and last letter were used to create the iconic brand name.     Major League Baseball's Chicago Cubs hosted the very first PEZ Dispenser Day at Wrigley Field on Wednesday, June 14th, 2000. The game was at 1:20pm and the Chicago Cubs were playing against the New York Mets. The first 15,000 fans who entered the gate received a limited edition Charlie Brown dispenser wearing a Cubs hat and a souvenir card to go with it.   The first PEZ dispensers were called Regulars and resembled a cigarette lighter. They were marketed towards adults as an alternative to smoking.   The best selling dispenser of all time is Santa Claus.   To make a single piece of PEZ candy, it takes 3,000 pounds of pressure to compress the sugar into the brick shaped tablet.   PEZ had s...

Anatomy of the Pez Dispenser

     The traditional PEZ Dispenser is comprised of multiple parts, including the button, the channel, feet, pins, the head, the kicker, the sleeve, the spine, springs, and the stem. The stem refers to the lower part of the dispenser, which is where you will find the spine, the sleeve, the channel, and the button. The stem typically has the PEZ logo on at least one side. Some older dispensers might have die-cut stems or be completely smooth on the side. The side of the stem is also where you would find the country of origin, patent number, and injection mold code.      The spine is the groove that runs down the stem on the back of the dispenser and the channel is the groove that runs down the stem on the front of the dispenser. The channel and the spine will be the same depth on vintage footless dispensers. On footed dispensers, the spine will be deeper than the channel. The sleeve, sometimes referred to as the magazine, is the part of the dispenser that com...
