Did anyone collect Pez candy dispensers? My favorite was Tweety Bird. What was yours? I remember

it being a pain in the rear to get the little candies in the container. You could put them in one at a time , try to slide the whole strip into the container, thus having them go all over the floor , or simply eat the candy without putting the candy in the container.

5. I remember Lik-m-aid. Is that the same stuff that used to be sold in straws too

8. It is. They switched the name to pixie sticks.

4. I viewed a strange film, The Pez Outlaw.

I initially thought it was a hokey work of fiction, until I discovered it was real

For what it's worth, Pez candy is overrated and too pricey in my mind. NECCO wafers were a bigger bang for the buck.


Years ago, I saw the old New England Confectionery Company factory across from MIT in Cambridge (Now defunct)

9. It looks like the Vermont Country Store

has Necco wafers.

10. Manufactured by another vendor

The folks who bought the recipe for the original Necco wafers are happy to reintroduce America's favorite candy wafer. Each roll contains all 8 flavors—lemon, lime, orange, clove, cinnamon, licorice, wintergreen, and chocolate—just as sweet and tasty as you remember, except for chocolate, which has a richer, deeper cocoa flavor.

11. I worked night shift at a plastics company making Pez containers

What a confession. Lasted two nights!

12. I still have my Practical Pig Pez dispenser from the 1960s. I have a Casper the Ghost, too.

Can't part with them ❤️
