PEZ
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
PEZ is a fruity candy that comes packaged like a bunch of little pills, but tastes better and is far more addictive. The conventional method of consuming PEZ is by spending apporixmately 15 minutes loading a single package into a strange machine. Whoever came up with this tool must have had a very warped mind. It consists of a spring loaded rectangular kind of tube, topped by the head of an animal, cartoon character, or other cultural icon. The candy is eaten by tilting back the head, which causes the PEZ to pop out the neck of the creature. Most people will eat the entire dispenser full of PEZ in 2-5 minutes, causing an experience much like that of Disneyland, where the experience of enjoying the PEZ lasts a far shorter amount of time than the frustration of preparing it. Most will agree, however, that it is worth the traditional effort to enjoy the sweet sweet taste of sugar, corn syrup, adipid acid, hydrog, palm kernel and oils, and other natural and artificial flavors.
