Halloween PEZ

Some more of the goodies from my C.R.A.P. file blogs, but I’ve grown tired of calling it crap so I will just title these posts for what they are…and in this case it’s PEZ!

Every Halloween you can usually find some Halloween themed PEZ dispensers available in your local stores.

I’m no PEZ expert so I don’t have a clue how many different Halloween PEZ dispensers have been produced but I did find some fun PEZ facts.

Ready?

Each piece of PEZ candy is 15mm long, 8 mm wide and 5 mm high.

The name PEZ was derived from the letters at the start, middle and end of the German word for peppermint, Pfeffeminz.

The logo is drawn to give the appearance that the letters are built out of 44 brick-like PEZ confectionaries.

Three billion PEZ candies are consumed each year in the U.S. alone.

PEZ was invented in 1927.

Ok, lesson done.

  1. Impressive collection. Mine totals only five. But I'm feeling inspired to start it up again.
