The world’s one-and-only PEZ historian dispenses fun facts on the candy’s evolution from smoking substitute to childhood treat to pop culture collectible. PEZ is an American classic and a staple of many childhood memories. Yet it originated in Austria, where PEZ began in 1927 as compressed peppermint tablets marketed as an alternative to smoking. Upon arrival in the United States in 1952, PEZ quickly took a new direction, adding fruit flavors and three-dimensional character heads to top the dispensers. Now produced in Orange, Connecticut, the iconic PEZ brand is available in over eighty countries, selling more than sixty-five million dispensers annually and inspiring collectors and fans worldwide. Join the world’s first and only official PEZ historian, Shawn Peterson, on a journey of sweet proportions for an inside look at the world’s most cherished interactive candy. Includes photos

"Want one?” That’s the anthem of the Pez world. No one can hold onto that little giraffe, Winnie the Pooh, or cowboy candy dispenser without tipping back the head and pushing the candy forward. So children of all ages who have ever popped a Pez will joyfully pore over this fascinating gem. It contains pictures of many of the imaginative, collectible, and valuable dispensers created over the past 50 years. More than 250 full-color photographs showcase the big cast of characters: They’re glowing with color and include animals, ghosts, witches, superheroes, clowns, and brides and grooms, as well as famous icons, such as Mickey Mouse and Tweety Bird. An introduction tells the fun, sweet story of the company, its candies, and its designs.
