I was watching Seinfeld last night and the episode about the Pez dispenser came on. Come to think of it I haven't seen one in about 10 years. Are they out of business?

Santa left one in each of my kid's stockings this year. I guess he bought them at Walmart.

Yes, my son got one for Halloween. Not sure where you can buy them though.

They changed the name to Lez to be woke.

The candy ate itself.

Uh... Pez is everywhere. I got my little cousin a Wizard of Oz set for Christmas.

My daughter got some in her stocking last year. They must have changed the formula, because it tastes awful. Either that or 5 year old me didn't care because, candy.

Well they definitely don't occupy prime location for candy selling by the check-out stations anymore

Friend,

I bought out Walmart’s Christmas dispensers in the post Christmas sale. Normal price was $1.50 and I got them half off. I think there were three packets of candy in them. Great gifts to dispense with Bibles when on the share.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

My boys love them. I hadn't seen them for about 10 years too. That is until we made babies and I see them all the time now. It's just a terrible candy for adults so we don't search them out.

I saw a Christmas "Collector's Set" on the discount table at Publix the other day. I thought about buying it just for shits and giggles.

5 year loves them. I bet we have a dozen from stocking stuffers and birthday parties.

They are still a total pain in the arse to load. I can’t believe after all these years there isn’t some packaging they could make to load the candy all at once.

You must not have kids. My little man can walk into a store full of 10,000 items and find his way right to where the Pez are stocked. No telling how many dispensers he has had.

They did a bangup business for years, then the competition just ripped their heads off.

No, but apparently Google is.

Hmmm, a Pez stripper clip. I call dibs.
