While PEZ is often admired and known for their unique variety of dispensers, the flavored tablets hold just as unique an appeal. Sold in small packs that fit into any of the PEZ dispensers, the unique shape allows for only one tablet to be dispensed at a time. PEZ candies come in a variety of delicious flavors that go far beyond the original peppermint. From fruity to savory, sweet to sour - the large array of interchangeable PEZ candies are delicious and continue to be loved by all.

What started in Austria as an adult breath mint in the 1920’s and became iconic in the 1940’s because of its unique dispenser that fascinated kids and adults alike? PEZ.

In the 1940’s, the first PEZ dispenser was engineered to replicate a cigarette lighter, a play on the original purpose of PEZ to be a breath mint and an alternative to smoking. This revolutionary design allowed for only one tablet to be dispensed at a time, and was both convenient and easy to transport.

In the 1950's, PEZ came to America, and would soon create and introduce the character-themed dispensers seen and loved today, featuring popular characters like Batman and Mickey Mouse.

PEZ dispensers are sought after by collectors for their unique and intricate design, as well as the large variety and “limited edition” dispensers. In addition to being collector items, PEZ dispensers, like the candy itself, have become a staple of pop culture.

The combination of fun and unique dispensers with delicious candy appeals to customers from all generations. PEZ continually engages its audience with new designs and flavors, which have been key to the loyalty and love the brand has received for decades.
