What is pez?

a candy people ate in the 50's and 60's In 1927, in Vienna, Austria, a candy maker by the name of Eduard Haus, III, developed a candy to conceal adult smokers' bad breath.The original flavor for the candy, which is still available today, was Peppermint. When marketers extracted the first, middle, and the last letters of the German word for Peppermint, Pfefferminz, they were left with PEZ. Convenient, headless PEZ dispensers surfaced in the late 1940, and allowed the smoker to pop a PEZ to freshen his/her breath. In 1952, the PEZ revolution spread to the US. Ceasing the opportunity markets came out with fruit-flavoredto attract children andchanged the PEZ dispenser with character headsas a gimmick to attract the children.

How do you refill a Pez dispenser and how many Pez candies can one dispenser fit?

There are numerous techniques to refill a PEZ dispenser. My favorite is this:1. Pull up on the head of the dispenser so it sticks in the "loading position".2. Carefully unwrap a roll so one side/end of the PEZ candy is exposed.3. Line the candy up with the loading slot and push into place.4. Remove the wrapper all the way, close your dispenser and enjoy!One roll (12 pieces) of PEZ candy fits in a dispenser.Remember to never, NEVER, eat the PEZ candy straight from the wrapper. It's PEZ heresy.
