Here are the stories we have recieved so far...
I was walking through this small mall somewhere in Pittsburgh, and there was this candy stand in the middle of the mall and I spotted PEZ! For some time now I have been looking for the incredible hulk and out of no where I'm searching through the small display of PEZ and I spotted it, I was so excited I started to practically scream all of my friends know how big of a pezhead I am so they thought nothing of my outburst in the middle of the mall but everyone else stood and stared at me till I calmed down. I didn't really care who was looking, I got the incredible hulk! just a question: why is the incredible hulk so hard to find? Courtney Crook Pgh, PA
Funny thing, these PEZ dispensers. I swear they live at night or something. I have been collecting PEZ for almost three and half years now. By my calculations, I should have around one hundred and fifty different PEZ dispensers. However, I have recenlty counted, and I only have about 76!!!! What's going on???? Also, I have a complaint- if PEZ are so popular, why is it so hard to find a variety of PEZ? And where are the Star Wars PEZ they keep promising??? *N. Kincaid, PEZ lover, Kent, WA*
So, you wanna hear a strange PEZ story? You got it! It was a few years back. I was in fifth or sixth grade. I was walking down the street when an old dirty bum approached me. I began to walk away when he said, "Hey kid, want any PEZ?" I looked at him, confused. He opened his jacket and attached to the inside wal of his jacket were about 20 or 30 PEZ dispensers! I had a few bucks left over from a Slurpee and I said, "Sure, I'll take that Incredible Hulk one!"
Greetings fellow PEZhead! Just stopped in your site (que bueno!) and thought I might drop you a line, from one PEZaholic to another. Here's a cool PEZ decorating tip: For a cool way do display your mighty PEZ collection, go out and buy a box of really thin pins. Open up your PEZ dispensers ever-so-slightly and insert the pin through the back hole. (You know, under the head?) Now, pop your precious beautys up on the wall for all to worship and admire!

Hey, this is less of a story than a request. The professor of one of my courses offered a guaranteed A to whoever could find him a certain PEZ dispenser. This dispenser is of Jack O'Lantern from Tim Burton's "A Nightmare Before Christmas". If anyone has one and is willing to sell, or knows of a mail order company that may have if, please E-Mail me at lint@jhu.edu
Here's a PEZ story for ya: My collecton (now about 30) started this summer when my cousin and i decided to buy matching Taz dispensers. ever since then i have bought every new pez dispenser i have seen. Boy, the looks i get from cashiers when i buy 5 or more at a time...Bye the way- i have the Incredible Hulk! My most prized dispenser is the smurf i found under 3 feet of junk in my friend Kelly's closet. We were up until 5 am cleaning, but it was worth it! *Nicole Chernowetz, E. Brunswick, NJ I was battling depression when I became interested in Pez. I found out that it truly is the key to happiness. One cannot be sad while eating candy out of a Pez. That split second of happiness reminds me that it will always be within my reach. If one second of happiness is attainable; then two seconds are and so on. Pez saved my life. People now call me Pezman. hello, my name is Gail, and i love pez. you can reach me at Pezphreek@aol.com here's my poem: Pez is cool Pez is phun Pez is fun for everyone I eat Pez and I'm the phreek If you eat Pez you're not a GEEK. have a nice day
I like you page. I got a Pez story of my own. One day I got this idea to get some Pez and I been collecting them. I keep buying them when I see them and I would always bring them into work with me. I used them once and then stored them on my shelf. Anyway, they started calling me Pez-Man and Pez at work. Paging me over the intercom by that name, and the board that shows who's in for the day says Pez. Recently one of the guys at work found out that his Mother's friend had a ton of them (about 200) and I bought them for $50.. some of them included Smurf, Batman with Cape, and more.. most, if not all were in GREAT condition and had no feet. I got a great deal. [recieved from Rabid Doctor]
This is in response to the Pez story following mine. The person wrote: "If you eat Pez you're not a GEEK." Well, I _am_ a geek, and damn proud, and I eat Pez! Just goes to show that Pez is for everyone... Nicole Chernowetz
Hi, my husband who saves EVERYTHING recently was given a box of "stuff" that his mother saved from his childhood days. Yep, thats right!!! Seven, count'em, seven of the origanal PEZ despensers!!! He has a painted face Mickey Mouse, a skull, 2 clowns with collars, a monkey sailor,Donald Duck and one other I can't remember right now. Our son, Austin, has 8 of the ones that they have already dicontinued and he's only 7 years old!! His collection now houses his fathers pride and joys and over 150 of his own!! I am the hunter!! I go to every store I can find that might carry PEZ. I buy 20 or so at a time when I find them. When ever he gets good grades or does special chores he gets a couple of PEZ's as his rewqard. I have a very good kid, needless to say!!! Happy Pez hunting!!!! I myself have gone from a Dead Head to a PEZ Head over night. PEZ is TOO COOL!!!
Here's an interesting story for ya! My best freind Brooks and I have been collecting PEZ for about a year and a half now. Anyway all of our friends know about our hobby and it has kind of become known even to our friends parents. Anyway to make a long story short one of our friends' mother, was shopping in an antique story and found a full body santa in a $0.25 box and bought it for us. What a find huh!!! Any way I guess that's my best story. Take care to all PEZ-heads and have a PEZeriffic day to all.

Hi. I am a marketing major at San Francisco State. I am doing my semester project on PEZ candy. The goal is to develop new awareness for an old product. Do you know if PEZ advertises on television, and if they don't, why not? It is like they aren't even tapping their full potential. They have such a huge following, but yet the dispensers remain so hard to find. Some people would probably be surprised to find that they company is still in business. Also, if they advertised on television and came out with a new line of sports heros PEZ dispensers, they would make millions. Is there a specific reason why they don't advertise that you know of?
Hi my name is laura Braun. I1 am 11 years old. I LLLLLLLLOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE PEZ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have about 40 pez dispencers.My grandma gave me most of them. I also get'em from candy crains. I have alot of Tweety ones. PEZ IS COOL! your fellow pezman, Laura
Heres's my story. About three years ago, i'm searching through the basement of my house. I came across this old shoebox, and inside were 15-20 old PEZ dispensers from when my dad was younger. It had a few really old Santa Clauses (without feet), and a couple of the bicentennial models. I thought "My GOD, PEZ!" I've been collecting ever since. I now have 183 different dispensers. Here's a good display tip, you know those tall, blue Pez displays they got in stores, if you can get one, make three steps inside of each "shelf" using a cut up shoebox. Use some kind of putty to keep each dispenser in place, 8 dispensers to a row. I got mine from my cousin, who also happens to be a fellow PEZhead. Keep spreading the Pez!
