History of PEZ Candy & Dispenser

PEZ dispensers originated in Austria in 1927, initially as a breath mint. The name 'PEZ' comes from the German word for peppermint, 'Pfefferminz,' taking the P from the first, E from the middle, and Z from the last letters. The first character dispensers were introduced in 1950, changing PEZ from a breath mint into a beloved candy and collectible toy, particularly popular in the United States. Over the decades, thousands of different characters have been released, making PEZ dispensers highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
